Greetings!
Join us tomorrow for the December First Thursday Day of Prayer. You can participate at one of our locations or have your own prayer meeting!
February 3-6, 2011 is the Super Bowl Outreach in North Texas. If you have not already registered, please consider signing up to join us. For $249 you get three nights accommodations, food, fellowship, transportation to witnessing venues, etc. Please consider this a mission trip to North Texas. Join us at the camp for some great times and memories.
Now a prayer request to all of you that live in North Texas. We are in need of the use of about 8-10 Vans or Buses. We are looking for the 15 passenger size. Does your church have one? Could you ask your pastor or church administrator if we could use it for the outreach. The goal is to have these vans available to drive teams together to the witnessing venues throughout the weekend of the outreach. If you could connect me with someone at your church who I can talk too, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Recently I was asked about witnessing to family and friends. As there may be a number of opportunities to do that over the Christmas Holiday, I decided to write some thoughts on it in the BLOG. Amazingly as I sit here typing this message, I just got another request on Facebook for wisdom and advice on sharing the Gospel with family. I pray that this article will be helpful!
Have you ever witnessed in the mall? Have you worried about being shut down by the security? Have you ever witnessed by asking people if you can pray for them? Well couple all of this together and you start to see what it was like at my first experience witnessing at the Prayer Stop! Read the details and see a video in the BLOG. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my experience. If you live in North Texas, you can join up with Darrel Rundus on Friday evening and Saturday's until Christmas. Email me and I'll put you in touch with him.
On Monday we had our last outreach at Brookhaven College for the Fall semester. Two kids received Christ! Lot's of tracts and resources were distributed. Check the pictures and stories in the BLOG!
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.
Recommended Resources The American Family Association maintains a list of stores that are Christmas friendly. Please consider this list of stores when you are shopping this Christmas.
Christmas present from Living Waters! Download your free copy of the Monoco episode of Season 4 of The Way of the Master. If you attended Ambassadors Academy 13 with us, you may see some pictures and video of yourself. See if you can find Mande and I!

| Mark your calendar | |  Operation Care Dallas - December 18Operation 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.

The Cotton Bowl / New Year Day Parade returns to Dallas. Parade starts at 2:30PM. Details of the outreach to follow as the date gets closer.

The Cotton Bowl returns to the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. This will be a great warm up to witnessing at the Super Bowl. Detail TBD. Kickoff is scheduled for 7PM. Therefore approximate ministry time would be 4:30-7:30PM.

| As You Go | |  Where's the Line to See Jesus?I was referred to the song "Where's the line to see Jesus?" by some good friends. After listening to the song I realized that this would be a good line to use when witnessing at the mall. See the As You Go BLOG for how that went. Perhaps you can try it and then post how it goes as a comment.
