Greetings!
Just a reminder to join us in pray for our nation, state and city tomorrow at your local city hall. See the First Thursday Day of Prayer BLOG.
On Friday night, Mande, Brendan and I met up with Tim Crawford (TLC), his two sons and Rudy Gonzalez. It was really a blast to watch Brendan, Triston and Brandon go around Southlake Square and hand out Gospel tracts. Triston even got so bold as to go up to the teens and ask them what they want to do before they die and then hand them our new "bucket list" tract (Coming to the Bezeugen Tract Club in August). We had a number of great one on one conversations and the Word went out. I spoke with a guy named Taylor who knew he was not good and admitted to breaking all of the commandments that I asked him about. He agreed he would go to hell. And even named the sin that he wanted to hang on too instead of repenting. Another boy told me, "I pray to satan!" WOW! At least these kids were honest. The evening ended talking with a group of teens who claimed to be Christian and attend a youth group together. I asked them some questions about what it means to be saved and how to become a Christian. Eventually they started asking some questions about the seventh commandment. Eventually one of them told me that their pastor said it is okay to have pre-marital sex in a committed relationship. I told them that "your pastor is not familiar with scripture." They argued that he is because as one of them said, "he preaches every week and it makes sense. We must be mindful of what Paul wrote to 2 Timothy 4:3:
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but
having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves
teachers to suit their own passions,
That sounds like exactly what is going on in these girls' churches. What can we do about it? A friend contacted me last week and suggested that we get copies of Ray Comfort's new book, "God has a wonderful plan for your life" , to all of the pastors in our area and also introduce them to Bezeugen. We are working on getting this together. Perhaps you'd like to read or listen to the book (you can do either on the website). Or you can order your own copy. It's a wonderful resource.

 Facebook Page
The tract club is growing rapidly. We are now in 41 states.With only 9 states plus the District of Colombia left. Who do you know in these states that you could refer to the Bezeugen Tract Club? Of course, as always, you can refer anyone. But to the person the refers people in these nine states and DC, we will send you 100 of our newest tract even before it goes into the August tract club mailing. See complete details of this offer in the BLOG.
Have you joined the Bezeugen Tract Club Facebook Fan page?
Marv at One Million Tracts is offering to print any of our tracts for you. He is offering 250, 500 or 1000 of our tracts for $15, $20 and $30 respectively. Please see the announcement on the BLOG for details. Many thanks for Marv for providing this service.

Door to Door Ministry

What Lies Ahead
With just over 900 houses down in Carrollton and a partnership with a church that has agreed to cover about 1/5 of the total houses, we are making good progress going door to door sharing the Gospel. Last week I sent the information to our graphics design team to develop a door hangar for door to door. The door hangar will include a free DVD offer and a place to put a sticker for the church or organization handing them out. We are also developing prayer cards and food drive sheets to share with anyone that would like to use them. Please see the update on the BLOG for more details. We hope to have the door hangars available within a couple of weeks.
