ENOCH MIAGAZINE & SKID ROW: No Disneyland Vacation
logo
Right now the staff at Enoch magazine with 3-4 guys are praying and/or planning on taking a trip to Skid Row Los Angeles the last week of March (March 20- April 1st). They will not be feeding or preaching to the homeless. Instead, they will be living with them for a week, trying to understand their life and needs, waiting for God's voice on what to do. They want to love them, not exploit them. For them, this is a real opportunity to allow God to work through them in a scary situation.

What can we do through Christ who strengthens us? Wouldn't Christ walk into Skid Row and sit down, despite all the danger? Will this spur a revival in this 4-block radius? Will they capture enough footage and vision from this trip to inspire an organized siege of love by young people who want an exciting life serving Christ?

This is Enoch Magazine style to the max; Little planning, lots of praying, and then acting! But take note: They are not putting God to the test. The Bible is clear about not doing that. Who's chaps are on?
If you will be in the Los Angeles area on those dates and would like to join Enoch, please contact carter@enochmagazine.com.

Bible Basics: Sin
logoSin is simply a word, thought or act that goes against the law of God. When I think of the word sin, for some reason a crazy guy with a bullhorn preaching that we are all going to hell comes to my mind. But, in reality, sin is basically just a word for messing up. The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that we all fall short of God's glory. We ALL mess up. I hate to say it, but YOU ARE NOT PERFECT. None of us are. Not even you pastor, parents, teacher or favorite skater.

Sin is the reason that God sent Jesus to rescue us (see Romans 6:23). Sin is the reason we need a saviour.

Want to learn more? Grab you Bible and check out these verses: Romans 4:25, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 John 2:2, Isaiah 59:2, Ephesians 2:1, and Hebrews 12:1

Pray For Pro Skater: Tim Byrne
logo

Tim Byrne is one of the top Pro freestyle flatland skateboarders on the scene today. Tim is a one man show who has travelled the world for the past six years. He has also been featured on Stephen Baldwin's Livin It and Livin It LA DVD's. Tim has also performed on stages alongside the top bands and speakers in the industry today,as well as been featured in newspapers and magazines across the country.

Tim continues to tour the country as a one-man ministry. He is part of Luis Palau's Next Generation Alliance, an international organization that supports up and coming evangelical ministries.

Recently Tim has been going into Youth Correctional Facilities to preach The Gospel. As part of the Freedom Experience in Corpus Christi, Tim has a chance to go into a juvenile detention center. 29 kids attended and 27 of them made decisions to begin a relationship with Christ. One of the remaining two kids was already a believer.

We ask that you pray for Tim and these upcoming events.

Urgent Prayer Request
logo Elections in December started turmoil in Kenya. Our are representative wrote in this:
"Hey hope you are doing great in the lord. We are
fine after few weeks of skirmishes political and
ethnic cleansing. People are being chased from their
land just because they dint vote for particular tribes and being of a minor tribe that does not have a say in the country. A skater in eldoret lost his entire family and many people were killed. Several lost properties through arsons.
I am writing to you because I would wish to request for assistance in this hard time. In the country, lots of families have lost livelyhood and are now depending on handouts. I am apealing for food donations and clothing for women and small children to assist them before they are able to settle back to their homes. Families are sleeping hungry and in the cold for the sins they didn't commit. I would really be glad for your assistance and prayers,please make appeal for anyone who would wish to assist. It is my wish that things would settle quick so that you guys would come for an outreach in the country"
