We handed out tracts and spoke to people at a carnival just outside of Port Jefferson on Saturday.  We first prayed at Bruce and Mary's home and then went out as Mary interceded from home for us.  We shared with quite a few people... it was a little challenging, but by God's grace we were able to capture the attention of some people in the midst of such amusements all around!  By God's grace alone were we able to speak to anyone :) Here are just a few stories about what happened:

 

A large group of young people (all between 10-14 years old):  When we first got there, we approached a very large group of kids and handed them all tracts.  They were very curious about us and so we started asking them questions about God.  We shared with them about sin, what prevents us from going to Heaven, how to be forgiven.  We spent considerable time with one Jewish girl named Rachel.  We shared about Christ the Messiah and she really listened as another friend sat beside her and listened too.

 

Lilly:  A young girl, maybe about 13 years old, who interrupted Bruce as he was sharing the Gospel with a young man to ask if we were against gay marriage.  Bruce told her he would address her question once he was finished, and she backed away, just looking on.  So I went over to her and asked her what she thought.  Shared with her how we do not "hate" gay people as she was supposing, shared the truth about homosexuality with her (I think she might be considering a gay lifestyle).  She was quite armed with twisted ideas like... she said lesbian parents raise more confident and happy children.  When she toldl me that, I encouraged her to research the source of her information and told her that it is a multi-million dollar industry that is looking to indoctrinate her mind with false information.  I shared the Gospel with her, and pointed out that homosexuality is just like any other sin, and that all sin needs to be accounted for.  As the group broke up, she kept the tract.

 

A group of boys, all about 8 years old:  I asked them if they believed in God.  They all said either NO, or I am not sure.  One kid said, "there is no proof!"  So I showed him how proof of the Creator is seen in His creation by using a few examples.  They all kept the tracts.  I am hoping it at least put a seed of doubt in their minds about atheism!

 

Bruce and Frank were at Babylon Train Station on Monday:

"Frank showed up and together we ministered to Tommy... and it was great. We shared the gospel message and the people around got to hear. It was the first time Frank had heard a Christian rap song. He didn't even know such a thing existed. It was great to see his expression and amazement.  We also spoke to Kyle, probably around 30, he had just gotten out of prison. He was very enthusiastic for the Lord. He was looking for a home church, and was considering the Seven Day Adventists. Gave him a warning about them and encouraged him into a more solid Bible base church. He held some strange doctrines that we discussed, but his heart was towards the Lord.  And we spoke with Tommy, 37, was struggling with his walk with the Lord. He has fallen into drinking and had lost his wife not too long ago. He had a fight with his family who are Christians and has not been talking to them since then. We talked with Tommy for quite a while, we shared many scriptures with him and prayed together for him. Tommy had also song us a few Christian rap songs, they were actually very good. Right now he is with Social Services for housing. Please pray for these who have gone astray. Jesus leaves the ninety-nine to find the one. Lord help us to find the ones who are lost, driven away, broken and hurt. They are out there in the highways and the byways."  Amen!
