Wishing You a Merry CHRISTmas...
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21
This Christmas, let us remember that the reason the Lord Jesus Christ was born was to die for our sins and rise again for our justification. Celebrate the Savior and make His gospel message known!
Have a wonderful Christmas!

Origin of Species Debunked on SMSU, IUPUI, Ramapo College, LaGuardia Community College

State University
Thousands and thousands of copies of Charles Darwin's book on evolution, The Origin of Species were handed out at 100 of America's top universities. What's different about this book is that Evangelist Ray Comfort wrote a 50 page introduction debunking the theory of evolution for lack of evidence and presenting a great creationist explanation for the origin of species: God!
What were the reaction of the students and faculty? "What I found was that 99% of the people I gave this free book to viewed it as a gift (of 2000, only two people ripped out Ray's introduction and only one returned the book)"

Rapping the Gospel in Montclair State University!At one of our many CCN on-campus evangelistic outreaches, CCN invited well known Christian rapper "Stephen the Levite" plus other rappers and Spoken Word artists to perform at Montclair State University. Of course, this was nothing but another opportunity to tell everyone that Jesus Christ is the Savior and we must repent and trust in Him!
The concert should have been called "Conviction Concert" as the messages presented through song, spoken work, and preaching were full of the Holy Spirit and biblically sound.
All our guests exalted the message of the cross over and over again through their lyrics and preaching. This event not only brought the gospel to the lost, but also strengthened the faith of the believers. People left changed and as one student put it, it allowed him to see that faith in Christ is not a game, but "very serious indeed." Later that night, he refused to partake in partying because of the conviction from the powerful message that was preached. Another day, when a friend took notice of his change, asked him if he got born-again!

In October...
This month we had the brilliant idea of going to the enemy's gathering to tell everyone about a good Master, Jesus Christ! During this CCN Saturday outreach we preached the gospel for hours in the East Coast's second biggest Halloween parade held in Toms River, NJ. In spite of how people were dressed, many were humbled by the message of the gospel. Still others did not want to hear it. It was great to be glad for those who showed signs of faith and broken over those whose hearts were hardened. Please pray for these souls as you read this!

In November...
Intelligence Test: How many of each animal did Moses take into the ark?... 2? Uh... Actually, it was Noah's ark, not Moses'! This and other questions posted on a giant sign brought so many people to speak with us at the Freehold Mall in our November outreach. Young and old did not let us rest as they came one after another to take the test and listen to what we had to say. Muslims, agnostics, Catholics and false converts came along and heard the gospel. What better way to spend the weekend? Make sure you join us in December!
