fishing in Ft. Myers

Hey fellow sowers and prayer support (:)), 03-20-2008

Greetings from Sunny Orlando again! (or at least the suburbs ~ :)) It feels like we have been traveling more lately! From the family camping trip, to talking with partiers at the Bike Week/Spring break gathering in Daytona, to this past week of getting to meet several of the Way of the Master team, not to mention quite a few soul-winners, and seeing quite a few old friends from various places, and even some soul-winners that we only knew by email ~ :). This year continues to be full of opportunities!

For those you who didn’t hear yet, Paul got sick right before we left, so that rearranged the schedule for us and those who went with the Grahams. And sadly, we didn’t get a good chance to really catch up and compare notes much, so we’ll have to do that not too long from now…

(Steven’s update)
For me, this past weekend was a blast! (Now getting the flu right before the work week was less exciting... :)) It was so neat to get a chance to meet the ‘Way of the Master’ team as well as others! And I really appreciated the reminders of things I had learned from ‘Out of the Comfort Zone’ (Ray’s autobiography) and the ‘Way of the Master’ videos, messages, and the online school. (for more info on those, check out www.wayofthemaster.com and www.livingwaters.com). One main thing I appreciate about their ministry is they point out what sin is. It’s so sad to see the common clichés everywhere: ‘God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life’ and ‘Ask Jesus to come into your heart’ and – ‘If you want to be saved, just say this simple prayer’… I too used to use those phrases, but I’ve been learning more and more to use Jesus’ own words, since God has been using fellow evangelists in my life, like the ‘Way of the Master’ team, and from my own studying of Jesus very own words describing what the costs are to be one of His disciples. Jesus is very specific, once we are saved, once we are a disciple – we can’t lose it. But we must consider the costs (so as not to be a false convert that walks away from following Jesus).

Here are a small sampling of Jesus’ call and the cost to follow Him:
Ø We are signing ourselves up to be a ‘doulos’ – slave of Jesus Christ – Mt. 6:24
Ø We are challenged to enter the narrow gate – meaning we aren’t going to be able to take some things with us – Mt. 7:13-14
Ø As followers of Christ, we might just not have a permanent home here, since we are citizens of another Kingdom! ~ Mt. 8:19-20
Ø As we follow Jesus Christ, as was His case too, our unsaved family could become hostile to us, but of course, we must continue to reach out to them, praying and pleading for them to repent too – Mt. 10:34
Ø We will be like true wheat among similar-looking weeds, but we must not let it discourage us or distract us from following Him – Mt. 13:24-43
Ø We will have to learn to take sin seriously like He does – Mt. 18:8-9
Ø He will be the single focus and passion of our lives, not just Him as the top of a list of 10, 20, etc… - Mt. 22:37-40
Ø That to even quality to be one of His followers, we must – deny ourselves – 1) our passions, wants, our habit of calling the shots in our life, 2)take up the tasks He gives us and 3) follow Him with all of our heart – daily. - Luke 9:23 (That’s quite a call, huh? Yeah, it is for me too. The best part is He isn’t looking for perfection in it, just a heart that honestly seeks Him and treasures Him as the invaluable riches and won’t run to any distraction, because they have Him!)
Ø Jesus also said that if that He who loves Him keeps His commandments and He shows His presence to them. That’s pretty cool! ~ John 14:15, 21, 23

That is just a very small sampling I have found as I just finished a study on what Jesus actually said about how to become one of His followers, how we can tell if we are His followers, and the cost… (If anyone is interested in me sending you that study, I’d be glad to, just email me. I went through Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and Rev. 2 & 3 – what a very interesting study! It challenged my heart! And then I also heard some of those same verses at the conference, which was so much fun!

Soul-winning after the conference:
But, the icing on the ‘cake’ :), was we got to go out soul-winning with our friends and fellow soul-winners from St. Pete! That was fun going out with Gabe, Joshua and team. And amazingly God gave us so many good conversations with people! One of my first conversations was with like 6 college students in front of a small restaurant. The main lady I talked who was responding didn’t seem to be affected much – she said that she was raised Orthodox (which I believe was referring to Eastern Orthodoxy – rituals and such, similar to the Catholicism). But after our conversation (and before the group wandered off), I asked them if what I had just explained made sense (the law, and what Jesus did for us) and 4 or 5 of them said yes, so I can only hope and pray that seeds were planted. My favorite conversation was with 3 teenage guys (9th grade or so) not far from where there was a free concert going on. At first these guys were happy go-lucky and all, like nothing really mattered and they were fine, even making some crude jokes amongst themselves. So, I handed each of them million dollar bills and we goofed about that briefly. Then I asked them what they believed was ‘out there’ when we checked out of life. The first guy said definitely a Heaven, second guy said it was a private matter, but then sort of confessed that he didn’t really know, and the third guy agreed (he didn’t really know either. :)) So, we talked and they did believe there was a Heaven and so then I pointed out that if God is just then He can’t let rapist, murders and liars get away with their sin and He can’t just ‘wink’ at it and let them into Heaven, right? They agreed. So, I pointed out if God can’t ignore it then He must punish these law-breakers, and especially if God is good, He must punish them, otherwise He becomes unjust, right? They agreed and said that made sense. So then I took them through God’s law and they all agreed that we had lied, used God’s name carelessly, coveted, and committed adultery in our hearts, and only two of them said they knew they had stolen something, the other thought he was innocent on that. I told them I had broken those too and mentioned that we aren’t doing so well, huh? And they agreed. Then I briefly referenced a few more of the commandments and they agreed they had broken those. So, then I asked them if God were to judge us by the 10 Commandments (His Law) would we be innocent or guilty? They agreed we’d be guilt and I agreed. So I asked would He have to reward us or punish us? They agreed He would have to punish us and even before I could finish, the guy who thought he hadn’t stolen anything said he was going to hell and the other guys quickly thought it through and realized it too. So, I asked if that concerned them – and they said yes. Then I asked them if they could promise me that they would wake up in the morning? They said no and it was apparent that it was making sense. So, then I asked if they knew what God had done for us. They didn’t know so I told them about how Jesus died on the cross not for His sins but for ours and that if we take ourselves off the throne of our life and stop calling the shots and make Him our King and let Him call the shots and we obey, and we accept that He paid not His fine, but ours, then we will be saved. One guy said some casual comment implying giving some of the control of his life was alright, and I reminded him that Jesus calls for all or nothing – He either wants to have complete control and allegiance from us or according to Him, we don’t have Him. He nodded in agreement and they agreed, but there was a little part of them that was holding out, so I challenged them again that if they couldn’t promise me that they would wake up in the morning, then they shouldn’t put their head on that pillow tonight before they get right with God. And the response of two of the surprised me – they said they would do it and they would see me in Heaven. I thanked them, and gave some tracts to some of their siblings that had wandered up and heard parts of the conversation, we exchanged handshakes, then headed off. I appreciated their enthusiasm! And I trust that a seed was planted and it is my hope and prayer that they do give Jesus all of their life. There were more stories, but I couldn’t possibly right them done, for one things because the flu I got Sunday afternoon erased some of them ~ just kidding! If Ft. Myers weren’t so far away, my family and I already talked about how we would love to go back, because the people there were pleasant to talk to. Ah, but maybe that is just to remind us to pray for the new soul-winners who are newly trained and will have the opportunities of talking with those in their surrounding communities.

Well, we look forward to seeing at least some of you at the Graham’s house and possibly even more of you downtown. For those who are our prayer partners ~ thank you! We trust that God is also showing you who He is bringing across your paths that He wants you to share the amazing good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with!

millionaires and Transformed this weekend! ~ : )

Hey fellow servants of Christ, 03-13-2008

Wow, Bike week and Spring Break in Daytona – what an incredible weekend! Below, I want to tell about the conversations Daniel and I had as we teamed up and talked with a number of people, but first on to this weekend. But, first for a little info-mercial! :)

Last call for Ft. Myers! :) We do hope many of you will join us, but if you can’t that’s okay, though you’ll be missed. And, you can always ask us later about the stories and experiences! :) If any of you are wanting to join us last minute here, we are expecting to leave (from the Graham’s residence) at 6:45AM. Sounds early? Well, we are wanting to get down there early enough to go to a nursing home, sing, and for Rich to preach on Jesus’ resurrection [:)], and then head to the conference, which isn’t far away. And we are welcoming all last minute traveling companions! We (the Henry Family) plan to stay overnight, so we can hear Ray preach the next morning, but the Grahams (and team) are planning to head back Saturday evening, after some soul-winning! We now know of 3+ teams (from other parts of FL – Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm, St. Pete), that are planning to join up and go out soul-winning somewhere nearby ~ and we are excited! If you aren’t able to join us ~ (we’re sorry you’re going to miss out : ( ~ ) (and) we would appreciate your prayers!

(Steven’s Update)
Wow. It would take more fingers and toes than I have to tell you all the stories we have from this past weekend! From talking with and challenging those who came to party – to consider how important eternity will be after they die, to sharing some of God’s Word and pleading with/challenging all who would listen to repent and follow Christ, to encouraging and working beside fellow soul-winners ~ WOW! It took some effort, but it was really cool! I hope that becomes at least an annual event, if not more often.

Daniel Morman (a guy we got to know while homeschooling) and I hung around a bunch on Friday evening, and we got to talk with a group of teens, Justin, Shannon, Taniqua and her co-worker at ‘Quiznos’, Lukas, David, and more people that I only know some of their names. Daniel and I talked with Nick and Mark – two guys who were selling tickets for a parking lot. Nick started with an evolution perspective, but after I explained Mark Cahill’s ‘order, creation, design, art’ analogy, he agreed that made sense and we had a great conversation. I can only hope and pray that God keeps working on them. They were from Panama. Then there was the conversation with a guy who went by the nickname ‘itchy’. He had ‘tear-drop’ tattoos down both sides of his face. In some cases, ‘tear-drop’ tattoos are the sign of having killed someone, and the more ‘tear-drops’ the more people they killed. It can be a prideful/bad memory type of thing… When I handed ‘Itchy’ and his friend a million dollar bill, he said no thanks, but something told me by his drawn out response that he did want to talk, but didn’t think he could – like maybe there wasn’t hope for him. So, when I noticed the ‘tear-drops’ I asked him: ‘Do you think you have done something God can’t forgive?’ He responded like he wasn’t sure. So, I walked with him and reminded him of a few Bible verses, including John 3:16, 17, but then his friend chased me off, but ‘Itchy’ seemed to have appreciated the conversation. Then there was Fetin (I know I’m misspelling her name… L). She is a Muslim, but after some interesting conversation, she took one of our ‘101 Funniest One-liner tracts’ and even a gospel of John and said that she would read them! Now that was pretty cool! One of my highlights of the weekend, though, was passing out ‘Million dollar bill’ tracts down Main street – where the bikes were parked to show them off. I had so many people who wanted them (about half of all the people I offered them to) and I even had several people who chased me down to get more! One lady even grabbed from my hand – that was interesting. I did my best (with what little time I had with each person) to let them know that the best news was on the back. Several people talked with me more and I had the chance to remind them of Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:21-23, and Luke 6:46 ~ “But why do you call me Lord, Lord and [do] not do the things I say?”

Also, among the fellow soul-winners we saw down there were the Bible Baptist team, some Christian bikers, Larry and Ben, and some others that I didn’t get their names. It was great fellowshipping with them and working alongside them and we look forward to doing more of that!

God's Word shared with the roar of Bike Week in the background!

Dear fellow prayer partners and evangelists, 03-12-2008

Wow that was quite a weekend! Thank you for your prayers!

(David’s update)
Can God soften cold hard sinful hearts? Can God alter their well planned parties? Yes! For a start, God provided a hard cold rain to thin out the rebels Friday afternoon. That allowed us to warm up Friday with smaller crowds. I have to admit that it was hard to find conversations about the Lord in Daytona Beach for Bike Week, but God allowed each of us to have several conversations.

Praise the Lord for Sean Kelsey and Bart, the Missionary, they are such bold preachers. Saturday was cold and windy and we walked along street, witnessing to those we met. Then we set up on the corner of Atlantic and Main with the speaker loud enough to reach all four corners. And again we got into interesting conversations with these who wanted to share their thought about the preaching. Steven and Paul also shared some Bible verses with those passing by. Around sunset a group came by with a sign about Aliens. They translate that God’s name Elohim refers to space aliens. At the same time, the Bible Baptist group came around holding up valuable signs explaining the gospel and Bart was pointing to their signs and reading them out loud. That was fun! That gave me a chance to hang around with one of their leaders, Stephen, and learn a few fishing techniques from them and passing out tracts.

The best part was later, when Sean and Bart carried the speaker down Main Street. The crowds are just sheep; they didn’t have anything important to do. Some were taking pictures of motorcycles, while most people were just standing around or eating and drinking. God used our team to give them something interesting to think about. When Sean preached he asked people to raise their hand if they ever told a lie or stole anything…and I was surprised to see how many responses he got, we had a large audience. One clever listener across the street picked up a traffic cone several times as a megaphone and offered a brief and humorous confession. Each time Sean closed his message with an invitation to talk with one of these pastors and several people did come over for a brief conversation. A few times during the message, several motorcycles realized we were preaching and their response was to rev up their engines, and that drew a few laughs and applause.

In our travels down Main Street we came across more blessed street preachers. Some of them were carrying big signs with the gospel message and others had a speaker system. We had great fellowship as we shared experiences.

This has already been a fun and blessed year and we thank each of you, our brethren, for your part.

(Paul’s update)
I drove over to Daytona with Bart and Sean in Sean's convertible. We arrived around 2:30 PM.

The funniest opportunity to preach was right after Sean, Bart, and I arrived in Daytona and parked on the fourth level of the parking garage. When we went over to the side wall of the fourth level we found ourselves overlooking the Daytona Lagoon, a water theme park, that had been turned into "The Rat's Hole", a hangout spot for bikers and loud music. We set our amplifier on the wall overlooking "The Rat's Hole", and Sean gave a brief greeting to the crowd to see if they could hear us. The funny thing was that after Sean gave his greeting, they turned down the music a bunch for us, not knowing who was trying to speak. A minute later, Sean greeted the crowd a second time and introduced ourselves. Then they turned off the music completely, and Bart preached to them for a few minutes. I was surprised that our amplifier was able to carry such volume, and the people down below were really surprised and it took them a few minutes to figure out where the preaching was coming from. Sean and I were kind of hiding back and laughing. It was a little unusual, I must agree, but it was quite funny and it appeared to be very effective! We went from there down to the boardwalk along the beach.

The most outstanding conversation of the day was with Brandon, who was probably in his mid-thirties. He told Bart and I that he grew up in Church of Christ, and that his brothers and uncle and dad and grandpa were pastors and evangelists and deacons. So he kept telling us that he already knew everything that we were telling him. He pretty much left with that thought after a few minutes. But then he came back a few minutes later and said that he did appreciate what we were doing, which gave us another chance to talk to him. This time we really challenged him on why he is playing with his life this way, when he knows he is away from God. We could tell that he was feeling convicted but still wasn't deciding to do anything about it. So to end the conversation, I read him I John 1:5-9, which he tried to interrupt saying he had already heard, but I insisted on it, so he allowed me to read it to him. With that we left him to do some thinking, and I trust that God can get his attention.

After that we talked with four bikers for probably ten minutes and got to share a lot of truths with them that seemed to be causing them to think. They were just about to get on their bikes and leave, so one guy already had a strange mask on that covered his face and small goggles. He took them off after a couple of minutes so we could talk to him. One of them went to church regularly and apparently had been trying to get his friends to come. They took into great consideration our warnings to repent and draw near to God, and they were all listening intently and responding positively to our message. I trust that they will not just give head-service, but that they will carry on to do something about what they heard.

After we tried a few more conversations, Bart was ready to go to the streets and preach. So we went to the corner of Main Street and Atlantic Avenue and set up our amplifier. Then while Bart started preaching, Sean and I traveled slowly around the four corners of that intersection to see if they could hear us above the roar of motorcycles and to see the reaction of the crowd. It was audible above the motorcycles, and there were a lot of people listening in to hear him preach. Someone commented that they were surprised that they could hear Bart above all of the noise. When we got back over to Bart's corner, another man came over to tell me to let Bart know that the people were hearing us. For the next little while, I just stood near Bart and listened intently to the preaching to set an example for the crowd to follow, which many of them did! I also interacted with a number of people when they had something to say. It was very interesting! After about an hour and a half, I went across Main Street to join James and Carrie from the Bible Baptist team that we know from Downtown Orlando on Saturday nights! I spent a while talking with James and then began handing out my "What if... I'm pretending" tracts. They were well received; probably about two-thirds of the people that I offered them to accepted them.

The most unique story from my night was with three young ladies on my corner who were sarcastically criticizing Bart's preaching. I went beside them and handed them the "What if... I'm pretending" tracts, which they accepted. And then this was one of their reactions, which I could overhear as I continued handing them out nearby: "O great, as if we weren't feeling convicted enough by the preaching, then some guy comes up to us and hands us some thing that says 'what if I'm pretending'. It's like, do you think God might be trying to tell us something." I didn't feel comfortable trying to start up a conversation with them, since I didn't have anyone who would join me, but I figured God would keep communicating His message to them somehow. I spent the rest of the night shivering from the cold (apparently it got into the forties or low fifties and the wind was piercing) and watching the crowd mostly. I also spent a bunch of time with our friends from Bible Baptist before they left and one other group of believers who were down there later that night preaching and talking with people. We got home around 2AM that night with a lot of stories, a lot of seeds planted, a lot of hearts convicted of sin, and very likely a few souls won into the kingdom of God after the Holy Spirit spends some time working that seed into their hearts! It was an outstanding night in preaching the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven!

Last week, we forgot to send out Scott’s update from his team’s adventures at Cranes Roost (a newer ‘fishing spot’ for some of us ~ J), so we pasted his adventures below for those who didn’t get to hear those stories! J Seeds were planted and we look forward to seeing how God opens more doors on that front!

We would really like to hear about your experiences too! It really means a lot to everyone to hear how God is using each of you and us! So, even though it takes a little work, we are hoping more of you will be sending out your stories! : )

Well, this past week, our family went camping with David’s side of the family and it was a lot of fun! I (Steven) also got to talk to some of the campers and hand out some gospel tracts ~ some great conversations, which was pretty cool too! Paul got to talk to several college guys in the early hours of the morning…

(Paul’s update)
This last weekend was our Henry family camping trip to Fort Desoto Park to entertain all the raccoons. (The raccoons are really quite entertaining themselves!) There were thirteen of us there Saturday and Sunday morning. I had thought beforehand that since it was a family gathering and camping and all that I wouldn't really get to talk with anyone. But then it seemed like God told me that he would give me a conversation with someone and that some of my family would get to see it. God has a strange way of planning some things. So I'm asleep Saturday night after a tiring day of playing chess and a lot of soccer and just hanging out with family. And then all of a sudden, I'm wide awake at 2:30AM Sunday morning! And I'm thinking, "This is strange". I hear a couple of college guys talking at the camping site behind us, sitting around the campfire like they were when I went to sleep. And God gave me an idea of how to join their conversation, so I got out of the tent and went over through the woods to where they were. And they invited me to come grab a seat and join them. They were a bit drunk and just talking about nothing in particular. Anyway, so I talked to especially Daniel and Steve for about an hour and a half until the fire was going out and they were going to bed. I've never gotten drunk before, so I'm not sure how much their brain was able to take in when they were like that, but we talked about a lot of foundational concepts about God and things from God's Word. I trust that somehow the Holy Spirit can hold some of those truths in there somewhere that can be of use to bring them to their Lord! They were very friendly later that morning when I went back over to say goodbye. So that's my story!

Thank you to our prayer partners! We are praying and expecting God to surprise you with special opportunities to serve Him too!

Your friends, prayer partners, and fellow laborers in the harvest,
David, Barbara, Steven and Paul

(Scott’s Update)
Greetings, I just wanted to let you know what God did last night while we were proclaiming the gospel in Crane's Roost. To those who prayed for us, thank you so much. I hope this encourages you and builds your faith as you pray. God did many things that evening. So here's my story:
First off, I was quite blessed to have six people join me in proclaiming the gospel. After some time in prayer, we split off into groups. Hannah and I went walking along the docks, and we began a conversation with Ali, Muslim gentlemen. We began talking about the fundamental difference between our two religions. It became evident that he didn’t know whether he actually believed what he said he did, specifically when he said that he was a Muslim because he was born into a Muslim family and because his friends growing up were Muslims. He had the same argument to explain why we were Christians. He began contradicting himself in many of his statements, but was unwilling to recognize it. After thirty minutes or so, we moved on and ran into Taylor, Julia, and Jenn. We walked over to the fountain to see if people would be there for the little fountain show that was being put on shortly from that time. As the ladies watched the show, Taylor and I began talking with a young man and his girlfriend. This young man’s name was Jordan. He knew the gospel, but seemed to be resisting having any discussion about it. When the fountain show began, he began resisting even more, and offered to talk after the show. So Taylor and I waited and watched the show with him, and after it was over, he clearly seemed disappointed to see that we had not left. I left him with a challenge to re-evaluate the way he lives his life; to look at it closely and see if he was bearing fruit for the kingdom of God (Matthew 10:43). A look of conviction came over his face after hearing what was said, and then he left us. After roaming around and getting into short conversations for the next little while, I suggested that we go to the food court to find some more people. Taylor was apparently telling me that the mall security guards frown upon evangelism within the building, but I was oblivious to his warnings. So the four of us went on in and started looking for people to talk to. I had a ten minute conversation with a young man, Kyle, in the food court where we walked through the gospel. He was very receptive to everything that I had to say. I gave him the good person test and the gospel of John as I left him, and saw him begin reading the gospel of John immediately. I then proceeded to catch up to Taylor, Julia, and Brittany, only to find that they were already deep into a conversation with a homeless gentleman, Sean. We talked to him for a little while, and were able to present the gospel in light of the things he told us he had been through. Sean was very receptive, and itching to talk to us. That’s when the security guard came up to us. This man was very rude to us. He told us that he knew what we were doing, and that we should get out of his mall. When I asked for more clarification on what we were doing that was wrong, he told us that we were trying to sell Sean something. He said that solicitation was trying to sell anything, whether it be a product, idea, religion, whatever. When Sean came to our defense (I was surprised to hear him speak up on our behalf) saying that we were just having a conversation, and were not soliciting, the security guard began to talk down to Sean. He started yelling, asking Sean if he studied law in school (the tone of his voice very extremely condescending, which had me fighting against anger). I told the security guard to be respectful to Sean, for he had no idea of what Sean had done or been through. The guard acted as if I hadn’t said a thing and told us to get out of his mall. I apologized for the inconvenience we caused him, and put my hand out to shake hands with him. He looked right at me and said that he wouldn’t shake hands with me. He said that he was the only person in Florida without the flu, and then started describing us to someone on his walkie-talkie. That abruptly ended our conversation with Sean, and by that time, it was getting late, so we went and met up with Alex and Rachel, prayed, and then dispersed. All in all, God was very kind to us this evening. He set up divine appointments and gave us the words to say in our hour to proclaim the gospel.
