Greetings!
Last week I was traveling on business in Connecticut. On Thursday night I was able to meet up with fellow Ambassadors Academy #13 alum, Stan. He brought two friends from church. The four of us had dinner and fellowship at a New Haven landmark, Pepe's Pizza. After dinner we headed over near the campus of Yale where we evangelized together handing out a number of tracts, witnessing one on one and did some open air preaching. Stan was open air preaching sitting up on a little fence. I opted to stand at the corner of York and Elm and read the Project Ezra selected reading for the week, Genesis 3, and then spring board to the Law and Gospel. Many people heard the Gospel proclaimed. One man heckled from the other side of the street. We reasoned with him from the scriptures, but he was not convinced. Afterwards, over an ice cream we talked about how God could change the mans heart and five years from now, he might be out on the street corner preaching the Gospel. Wouldn't that be amazing. Not to far fetched. Don't believe me? Then please order the London episode of Way of the Master season 4from Living Waters and check out the introductory scene on the DVD!

Texas State Fair Outreach
|
|
 Urgent Prayer RequestI received the following from Rex Whitton who heads up the Texas State Fair Outreach for the last nine years running. Please pray for these funds to come in. If God is calling you to help provide these funds, then please email me ASAP and I will put you in touch with Rex. Thanks for your prayers. Here is the message from Rex:
Dear Friend of the Fair Outreach! We are fast approaching an important deadline re this
awesome outreach. The biggest part of our outreach budget is $11,500 which we
need to pay to the State Fair of Texas for the rental of the booth. The first half of this payment is due April 1st.
We have received $1,000 to date in donations to cover this expense. The second
half of the payment is due July 1, 2010. Bottom line: we are asking
for your help in whatever amount you're hearing to give in order to meet our
immediate need of $4,750. For tax purposes it will be considered a deductible donation. Please let us know as soon as possible if there is anything
you can do to help us meet this urgent need. |
| Test the Spirits | |  John 4:1-3
Recently I was tagged in a video on Facebook. The video is of a Muslim man explaining his rationale that Mohammed is a true prophet of God based on 1 John 4:1-3 which reads: Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. The speaker then declares that Mohammed was a true prophet because he proclaimed Christ Jesus and then quotes Surah 3:45 which states that Christ Jesus is the son of Mary. In researching what the actual verse in the quran states, I found two translations that seem to differ widely.

| Life Assurance |
|
 A Message from Todd
I just had an insurance agent come into my office about 3 minutes ago and I was able share the gospel with him. He was an obvious candidate to ask this question. Do you have life assurance? I have used this question to share the gospel with many people. The typical response is. Do you mean life insurance? I respond by saying no, I mean life assurance. I then might say something like. Who benefits from life insurance? They will then say, the survivors of someone who has died. I will then say, but how does life insurance benefit the dead man? Now you are off to the races.
You can then say, life assurance is the assurance of eternal life. Amazingly, it is far more important to a life insurance policy holder than life insurance. Furthermore, it cannot be purchased by human means, the only provider is God and the cost is zero! Wow! Who would have ever thought that life assurance, the assurance of eternal is free! The scripture that you may use to verify God's assurance of eternal life is: 1st John 5:11-13 " And this is the testimony that God has given eternal life and this life is in His Son. He who has the son has life and He who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you know that you have eternal ( life assurance) and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God."

Day by Day in the BLOG
Each day this month, I've been documenting the distribution of one tract from the Bezeugen Tract Club. It is my prayer that this chronicle will encourage and inspire you to do the same.
Please read the articles in the BLOG.
I also encourage you to use the comment feature of the BLOG to tell me what you think of the way I handed out the days tract as well as how you handed out a tract today!
| | Door to Door | |  Update!
I have had contact with several more people that are planning to start door to door ministries soon in their local communities. Please be praying for these people as they make plans to share the good news in their communities.
Since I started going door to door, I've added DVD resources to my arsenal. I am waiting for my case of "Joseph Smith vs The Bible" DVDs to arrive. When they get here, I am mailing a copy of it to each of the Mormons I have meet going door to door. In addition, i am sending copies of "Why Christianity?" to the Buddhists and Hindu's that I have met. Please pray that these DVDs will get watched and prompt these people to consider where they will spend eternity if what they believe it wrong. Bezeugen is Allied with Living Waters Ambassadors Alliance. Therefore, if you'd like to be included in the map, then please watch Hell's Best Kept Secretand True and False Conversions and then email me telling me you agree with those teachings and that you'd like to be added to the door to door map. If you have attended the Living Waters Ambassadors Academy then you have already agreed to this teaching. |
