Greetings!
In my continued efforts to share the Gospel with the City of Carrollton, I covered 41 more houses this weekend. In the process I had 8 one on one conversations and gathered six more prayer requests. We also filled the cart again with donated food for Metro Crest Social Services. This brings the totals to 236 houses reached, 61 one on ones and 39 prayer request gathered. Please continue to pray for the efforts of reaching the City of Carrollton for Christ. Please see the detailed update on our BLOG.
I've talked about making my own t-shirt for awhile. Over the weekend I
mentioned it to my wife. She asked what I wanted. I told her I thought
we could find a place online to print it. She decided to make it for
me! (Thanks, Honey!) So today, was my first day to wear my new t-shirt. Read the details on our BLOG.
Continuing the look at the 3:16's of the Bible, this week I have written about Exodus 3:16 and surrounding verses. Please see the BLOG for the details.
We have not one, but two new Gospel tracts that will be going out in the October tract club mailing. If you are not already a member of the Bezeugen Tract Club, why not enroll online today. If you are a member, please invite your friends to join!

Simple Ways to Share the Law and Gospel
|
|
 Envelopes and Computers
Here are a couple of ways to make sharing the Gospel easy. Neither
requires you to even talk to anyone or hand them anything. Check this
out. First, here is a use for all those postage paid envelopes
that come in the mail. Rather than throw them out, save them. At our
house, we have a basket where we collect them all. Please read the rest of the article on our BLOG! |

 What Others are Saying
Jerad Shipman, Eldorado, Texas writes:
We appreciate the tracts that you guys have sent through the mail. I
want you to know that they are being used frequently. A guy in my
church has specifically asked for the "Get Out of Hell Free" tracts
stating that they are a hit at his job. He said that there are two
pastors that work with him who really liked them. He has been giving
them to a lot of people there. The same tracts have also been used in
door to door evangelism, and have even been distributed to Jehovahs
Witnesses on one occasion. I thank God for your services to your
brethren, and most of all to the Lord. May the Lord continue to use you
and your family for His glory.

Life Conversations Call
|
|
 Cross Pollination Ministries
My friend Brad Aldrich was instrumental in my learning to witness. In fact, the first time I went to a mall to witness was with him to train about 20 students from the University of Nebraska. Brad has recently started a program called Life Conversations Calls. On these calls, up to six people call in to a conference call bridge. They are then able to ask questions of Brad and role play with him to practice witnessing. This is a great opportunity to get some one on one training. The calls will take place next Tuesday, September 8th at the following times (all Central time zone so adjust for your area of the country):
10:00 am
11:00 am
12:30 pm
1:30 pm
2:30 pm
3:30 pm
4:30 pm
5:30 pm
7:30 pm
8:30 pm
9:30 pm
10:30 pm
Dial in number: 605-475-4825
Access code: 515794
Each call lasts for 30 minutes. You can check out a two minute video introduction to the Life Conversations Calls on the Cross Pollinations Ministries website.
Enjoy! Tell Brad that Carl sent you!

Basic Evangelism Training Seminar
|
|
 2009 Schedule
Statistics say that less than two percent of professing Christians share their faith regularly. Why? As we have polled people the overwhelming answer is FEAR! Some people are afraid that they don't know what to say. Some are afraid that they will be asked a question they don't know the answer too. Some are afraid of embarrassment. We can help!
The Basic Evangelism Training Seminar is a two hour seminar to provide effective and Biblical training to show you in a practical way how to share your faith in Jesus. The next scheduled session is tomorrow night in Pilot Point. Please come join us. The following dates are scheduled for the remainder of 2009:
September 17 - Carrollton
October 15 - Pilot Point
November 19 - Carrollton
December 17 - Pilot Point
Each session is scheduled for 7-9PM. The Pilot Point sessions are held at the Hot Grill Steak house. Join us 30 minutes in advance and have dinner with us!
In addition to these dates, we are available to schedule a session at your church, Bible study, small group, house, retreat, etc. For more information, including links to directions to the locations and times, please see the Bezeugen web site. I hope to see you at a seminar this fall!

 A Plea for Biblically Relevant Evangelism
Jon Speed has written an excellent book on Evangelism in the New Testament. The second printing has just come out. And we have a fresh supply of the books that we'd like to send you for FREE! All we ask is that 1) you have not already received this book from us, 2) you will read it, 3) if you like it you will pass it on to your pastor or a member of your elder board and 4) if you don't like it you will pay the postage to mail it back to us so that we can give it to someone else who will enjoy it. If you are interested, please email me your address. For book details see One Million Tracts. |

Memory Verse
|
Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take
no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from
their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die,
O house of Israel?'.
Ezekiel 33:11 (NIV)
