Volume 4, Number 48
  November 24, 2010
Greetings!

On Monday at noon we had a wonderful little outreach at the West End DART station in Dallas. A few hundred tracts went out and we had some wonderful one on one conversation. One man named Melvin was on his way to serve as a juror. He asked for help overcoming alcohol and cigarettes. We pointed him to Christ and then walked with him to show him where the court house is. Please be in prayer for him.

We are working on a Super Bowl version of our Football Trivia tract. We need your input. Please see the BLOG for details.

I received the Proclaimer for our friends in Cameroon. This is an awesome device. I plan to take it out in the open air with me. If you would like to contribute to the fund to mail this to Cameroon, please contact me.

Recently I was asked, "What do you usually say when you hand it (a tract) to a cashier, etc?" I emailed a reply to the person that asked. But, I thought the question was of general interest, so I thought it would be useful to share the information here as well. Please see the As You Go BLOG for the information.

Todd sent me some thoughts on sharing the Gospel during Christmas time. I added his thoughts to the BLOG. I hope you will take a few minutes to read it.

Did you know that Bezeugen has a number of email lists in addition to this weekly email? Do you know how to change your email address for your subscription to the Bezeugen Blast? Do we have your current address on file for the tract club mailings? I posted a BLOG entry to answer these questions.

Calendar Operation Care Dallas - December 18
Operation Care Dallas holds an annual party, so to speak, each December for the homeless from all over the DFW area where they disseminate clothes, food, toiletries, new shoes, blankets, sleeping bags, etc to the homeless. Before the people can enter to receive these items they must go through the evangelism area. Last year about 10,000 - 15,000 homeless attended. Anyone is welcome to come evangelize as long as they sign up on the Operation Care website - www.operationcaredallas.org and go to the Volunteer tab at the left.  There will be lines of homeless people outside beginning very early in the morning. There are a couple people from our witnessing team that will be participating in this event. If you are interested in joining them, sign up on the web site and then let me know and I'll connect you to the others that are participating.
