"Freedom" Day Outreach

[alan4jc]

Hello dear brothers and sisters in Christ. May the Lord Jesus be increasing in your sight always. I thought it would be a good idea to share some recent outreach news. As you all know the 4th of July just passed and myself, Eli and Brad Scheelke as well as a number of other dear Saints hit the streets of Cache Valley with the gospel of Jesus Christ. First on July 3rd during our towns fireworks show we walked the streets and passed out tracts and had a number of one on one conversations. I spoke with a Mormon fellow named Ben who said that if the current Mormon president commanded plural marriage he would be willing to share his wife. Eli had a long conversation with a small group of 5-6 men from teenage to 50 years old. One man in the group that I spoke to said he believed that there were plenty of good people. I informed him that Jesus says that there are none good, and he said that Jesus was a liar then. This is the sign of what is beneath the surface of Mormonism. They value not nor love God at all. They do not know Him nor serve Him. They have erected a false god one that feeds self and pride in the Mormon way. On Saturday the 5th we went out on the streets again from 9:30 pm until 12:30 am. During the 4th of July holiday they have a custom car show here that attracts over 1,000 cars from all over the west. Then on Saturday they have a parade of cars down Main street and families and granpas and grandmas come and line the streets to watch all the cars go by. But after that is over all the younger people hang out and cruise and get drunk and do all sorts of crazy things. We spoke to many people and gave out at least 1,000 tracts. It is so sad to see the hatred for the Gospel and the love of self. Please pray for all those that we spoke to and for those who received tracts. Maybe someone else who was out that night witnessing with us will add something to this post.

In Christ; Alan

Praise God ! Alan, this a blessing to read about :-) May God use all this to turn the hearts of these people, to serve the living Christ.

Your talks with these Mormon people reminds me of a discussion I had last week. Last week, a friend and I went door to door witnessing in the area around our church and experienced great joy in doing this. One man that we talked to was originally from Korea and although there were some challenges in communication, our talk with him was very fruitful. He was very candid at times, saying things like "life is hard sometimes" and things along those lines. When he said that he had attended church with a particular denomination in Korea, I harboured some hope that he might be a believer. However, when we asked him some questions such as how he would know he was saved when he stands before God's throne some day, he talked about 'being a good father' and 'being a good person', which alerted us that his faith was not in Christ's finished work on the cross for his salvation. He was encouraged to cast himself on Christ for his salvation.

Please know that I'll pray for God's continued blessing on this work which God has called you to, and for fruit that lasts for eternity.

In Jesus,
John
