Fw: Caroling
Below is the email from Daniel, and I've attached the song sheets for you to print up. At this moment, they are not planning to come downtown afterward, but we plan to be on the streets around 9:30.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hello all,
Clear you calendar and your voices! We're takin' to the streets ... the neighborhood streets that is. Rather than going downtown to evangelize on the 7th we are going to go door to door and evangelize/carol ... that is, we will mainly carol and pass out "goody-bags" to the neighbors. We will meet at Rebekah and Jesse Phillips house (see address below) at 6:30 to pray and set up so we can begin around 7:00. Below are the song sheets with the designated songs (I have included the lyrics as an attachment).
Song List:
1. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
2. O Come All Ye Faithful
3. We Three Kings
1. Hark The Herald Angels Sing
2. What Child is This?
3. Go Tell it On The Mountain
Let us know if you are interested. Let us know if you would like to play an instrument.

Greetings and Merry Christmas to all!
We discovered something exciting last Saturday. One of our bold companions, Sean Kelsey invited us to help him pass out tracts for Christmas Parades, and it is so much fun! It is one hour of adrenaline and very interesting. Better yet, almost everyone along the parade wants a tract. This is your invitation to join us this Saturday in Apopka at 9:30 AM. Here is Sean's information on that parade:
APOPKA -
The Apopka Christmas Parade begins at 10am on Saturday December 1st but please try to be there about 9:30. We are closer to the front of this parade and want the opportunity to give out tracts to the other floats before the parade starts. Our float will be staged on 2nd street between Park and Forest Ave. We are assigned to space 325 but sometimes due to float traffic congestion it gets out of order. None the less the float is a big birthday cake which says "Merry Birthday Jesus" on the side. You cant miss it.
Saturday night we are planning to be a part of the Kissimmee parade. We are planning to meet at 5:15PM, since it is an unfamiliar parade and we'll need to figure out where we're supposed to be. Sean says this one is huge fun. There are tons of people and a lot of things going on. From 12PM to 8:30 there is some festival, and then there's the parade at 6PM, and then there's fireworks afterward at the lake. So there'll be plenty to do. We don't know where we're meeting, so keep in touch by cell phone. Sean's cell number is 407 810-4110. And David's cell number is 407 924-1327. Please feel free to call Sean or call us for more information.
We have been invited to go Christmas Caroling this Friday evening, December 7th with Metro Life, so we plan to join them and then leave about 9:00, which means we should arrive on the streets around 9:25-9:30. So we're passing on the invite to you all to come and join us to go caroling. After I send this, I plan to forward the email from Daniel, which has the time and place and the songs that we're singing. Also this is a great opportunity to bring as many of your fellow believers and soul-winners as possible. This should be a very comfortable setting for someone who's new to the team, and they can enjoy getting to know the evangelism team better this way.
(Paul's update)
I've got to tell you what happened Tuesday and Wednesday last week! I went to my electrical supply in Altamonte Springs on Tuesday afternoon. I greeted several of the guys like I usually do and then talked with Orlando a little bit while he put my order together and put it in the computer. I noticed an opportunity at a certain point to shift over to a spiritual topic, which is something I've been becoming more familiar with being alert to. The topic was that life is short and that God hasn't given us this life for us to use it up for our plans and entertainment, but for us to have time to make a choice about eternity. We had only gotten a few sentences into the conversation, and suddenly Dave the store manager, Fred and another guy came over to the counter to listen in and then began firing questions at me. And Kevin also joined the conversation a little later on. It was quite a challenge to know how to answer their questions in a way that would also make the points that I was trying to make, but God gave me a lot of wisdom in that conversation. They seemed to appreciate my answers and pretty much had to agree with my conclusions although they were a little reluctant on one or two points. At one point, Fred was trying to say that he didn't really have to worry about it because he's pretty much perfect. I already new that wasn't quite accurate. So I asked him if he would mind me asking him a few questions to see if that was true. He failed really badly although he didn't really like to have to admit that. I have known Dave, Kevin, and Fred for probably three years and have been planting seeds during that time, so this was a great opportunity to really get to the subject. It was amazing! We talked for probably forty-five minutes! Then another electrician came in who I have met before and who knows the crew there. He really showed the ugly side of sin with his thoughts about life. By the end of the conversation, they were all just running around in circles trying not to admit that they are all in need of repentance. And Dave noted to me that the last part of the conversation was proving my points even further. It was great! I am praying for them a bunch, and hopefully Tim and Mike, my Christian co-workers, will be able to help me further in this effort! Mike is the guy who works with me who is in the process of submitting his life to the Lord. And Tim is new to our company; he is a believer and he shares his faith with others. So pray for all of this when you think of it, if you would!
So then the next day, I went to the Winter Park branch of City Electric and when Francisco called Altamonte, Fred told Francisco to ask me about how I prove that there is a God. So I used the ideas that I just read out of Mark Cahill's book "One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven" to show him that there is One God. Mark Cahill describes that when we see something that has been made like a building (he says like a shirt), we know there must be a Maker. And when we see something that requires design like a watch, we know there must be a Designer. And when we something with artistry and creativity like a painting, we know there must be an Artist. And when we something that has order, like the structure of an eye (he says like twenty coke cups in a row), we know there must be an orderer. Francisco agreed and then he told me how he proves there is a God based on things that we see on the earth that prove the Bible to be true and that prove that things are not accidental! So then we talked about God's perspective on a lot of things on the earth and about how far away from God we have gotten! Francisco believes all of the same things that I believe and he seemed to be saying that we are walking the same path toward God. I certainly hope he really is seeking after God like that, I couldn't find a way to ask it that directly, since I would have had to kind of question if he was telling me the truth. Then Jose jumped into the conversation a bit, and found it very interesting. His main question to me was whether or not I believe there is a hell, so that gave me a perfect chance to share the truth with him. It was a very valuable conversation. By the way, Luke 16 which is the story of the rich man and Lazarus is very useful for explaining about hell after you've described the reasonableness of such punishment for having broken the law of God.
We are deepening in our connections with the community of believers who are doing ministry downtown - Operation 180, Bible Baptist, and YWAM. We had a lot of great fellowship among our teams while we were all engaging the crowd on Saturday night two weeks ago! And we were all having many great conversations and connections with the crowd! I spent the night teamed up with Paul (Operation 180), and John and Ristella. And Steven spent the night with Sean Walsh (Operation 180) and Matthew and Marie who are new to Operation 180. It was an exciting night, we had many great stories from that night! And then last Friday night, we had a great time catching up with several groups from YWAM after they just got back from a three-week retreat. And they introduced us to an evangelist from Australia who joined them on the streets that night. They are really encouraged to see our team doing ministry down there with them and with Operation 180.
We look forward to everything going on this weekend, and we look forward to seeing you all and serving the Lord with you - see you then!
Your friends and fellow laborers in the harvest,
David and Barbara, Steven, and Paul Henry
