St Patricks Day Preaching in the Gaslamp

Jeff, Demetrius, Romero and Neil went into the Gaslamp on St. Patricks Day to preach the gospel. Many hardened sinners who mocked us and God but we did have some good conversations. It gets darker every year as we saw many near-naked women, a multitude of drunks, mockers of God and tremendous apathy to the things of God. All signs that Jesus is drawing near!

SAN DIEGO MARDI GRAS – 2010 + New Soldier!

Mardi Gras 2010 was the worst yet! Every year it seems to get darker! Yes, people, it is true. The world is rapidly growing darker and darker. The LIGHT of Jesus in the hearts of the Christians is so hidden away that you can barely see it in public any longer.

I was quite astonished at the number of so-called “Christians” who attended the Mardi Gras Debauchery in the Gaslamp in Downtown San Diego. They were not there to preach or witness but to PARTY! What possible excuse would a child of the Most High God have to pay $20.00 to get into a private party where there was half-naked men and women, drunkness, sexual perversion and revelry? They were not there to preach the gospel folks. They were there to take part in the whole sordid scene.

Our team of 6 preachers, Sam, Jeff, Demetrius, Romero, Matt and Neil, stood outside the gate with banners and tracts and preached to the people on their way in. We met a Christian Pastor and his wife going in, an evangelist, a International Youth Director (who was very convicted by our banners and preaching and turned around), and numerous “Christians” from many local churches, especially THE ROCK CHURCH. Many were not ashamed at all and “THOUGHT IT STRANGE” that we were preaching there! (see the verses below)

1PETER 4:1-5
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. 2 As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4 They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

A real bright spot was we were finally able to meet up with a new soldier for Jesus there! Brother DEMETRIUS joined us finally and he had a great presence, a great banner, and we all enjoyed preaching along side him! Join us again brother Demetrius!

We met one “Christian” lady, pictured below, who proudly and loudly told us, “I AM GOING TO SIN, SIN, SIN TONIGHT AND GOD WILL FORGIVE ME TOMMOROW!”

One young man we talked to grew up in the church, HORIZON CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP, and attended High School there. He told us he was quite active in the church but after he got caught in a sexual relationship with a pastor’s daughter of another church, which I will choose to not name here, he fell away from the Lord and has been cold to God ever since. Very sad!

New Brother Sam joined us for the second time out and had a great time with us! We preached about 4 1/2 hours straight and it was quite an opportunity because the people had to stay in line and listen to us! A captive audience is a street preacher’s dream come true! Here is Sam below holding his and my banners.

WHALE-WATCHING EVANGELISM – San Diego Bay

Brother Jeff, Brother Neil and Sister Lu-i went out preaching the gospel down at San Diego Bay. We preached to the people in line for the Whale-Watching tour, (a captive audience!). We also preached to people onboard and passing by the aircraft carrier the USS Midway, which is now a floating museuem in San Diego Bay.

A wonderful day, come and join us!

2010 Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Outreach

Video from the 2010 Rose Parade. A good number of brethen came in from many different places to march, fly their banners and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ at the end of the parade. It was a long, 5.5 mile trek but I stopped my complaining when I saw Sakura, a young Japanese Christian rolling along in her wheelchair with her husband Ron. Praise God, they were an inspiration to us all.

Ruben, Petar, Rod, and others had gone to preach in Las Vegas the night before and left there at 2am to get back in time for the Rose Parade. That’s devotion!

People came in from Oslo, Norway, Mexico, Washington, and from along the East Cost. It was great to see so many young people from the Bible Distribution Club in Arcadia, CA. What a wonderful way to bring praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Doug and Neil filmed at UCSD

A young filmmaker named Sky Colvil, did a brief interview of Doug and I as we were witnessing to the students on the campus of the University of California San Diego.

Counter Protest against Westboro Baptist Church

A video made from the Gay community’s viewpoint, made up of pictures from the counter protest against the crazy people from Westboro Baptist Church at San Diego High school. Most of the protestors were from the Gay Community. The Gay Community is so much more organized and together than the Christian community. I am glad they protested. They had 400 people there. Sad that not many Christians care enough to speak up at all for the Truth. We continue to hide in our churches and think God is pleased.

People need to hear the message that YES, God does love us all but He wants us to stop sinning and to allow Jesus to deliver us from sin. We probably all want to live life the way we want to but those who love Christ know better. We must deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him!

“Our Great God!” – Video from Prayer in the Square

This is the opening song from the Prayer in the Square event that took place in Times Square in NYC on Spetember 20th, 2009. This song is NOT on the video released by Times Square Church for some reason?

The event was AWESOME and AMAZING as approimately 60,000 people gathered together to worship and pray in public in Times Square! God’s Spirit was there in a mighty way and the event blessed my soul beyond measure! PRAISE JESUS!

Prayer in the Square Video – Times Square NY

By God’s grace I was able to attend the 2009 Prayer in the Square event sponsored by Times Square Church in the heart of Times Square in NYC.

About 60,000 people attended and the event was totally ignored by the mainstream media! Sad to see that as they cover the drunks on New Years Eve live ever year but no mention of people worshipping Jesus there. Do not rely on the mainstream media for your news.

It was a fabulous event as God poured out His Spirit on His people in public and people going by were astonished as many had never seen a church service like that before I am sure!

To me this was a small taste of what it will be like in the Kingdom of Heaven where people from every nation, tribe and tounge will be worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ together! I can’t wait!

Wild Weekend of Evangelism!

First off we had a wild Friday night down in the Gaslamp District of San Diego. We joined some other Baptist preachers at the corner of 5th and G and there was continual warfare throughout the night. Our new friend and brother in the Lord, Chris, was immediately confronted by “Christians” who charged that his banner was “hateful” because he had a picture of the Twin Towers being attacked and it asked the question, “Where will you Spend Eternity?”.

Nominal or liberal Christians are usually the biggest critics and love to attack street preachers for their methods but yet show little or no fruit of salvation in their own lives. They don’t evangelize themselves, but they love to criticize those who do.

We next were surrounded by about 30 chanting Hare Krishnas singing their one and only song that they know. After 10 minutes of that, the police showed up and thankfully one of them was a solid Christian believer who attended a large, Calvary Chapel type Church in San Diego. We talked about how many “Christians” we encounter on the streets who are drunk and admit to actively having sex outside of marriage who tell us they attend this church in San Diego. The officer told us he encountered the same thing and told us that just last week ALL of the people he arrested attended his church! He said it made him sick! (His words not mine)

How sad to see the effects of a watered-down gospel message being preached to the people and giving them a false hope of salvation. This is the norm now as we see so many “Christians” who think they can do anything they like because they are saved by grace and don’t have to worry about sinning against a Holy God. How they will be SHOCKED on judgment day!

On Sunday night we went to the AC/DC Concert at the SD Sports Arena. We got beer thrown on us, mooned, cursed at and mocked but over all the people were okay when they saw we were not against them but were only trying to warn them that HELL is a real place and that they are headed that way unless they repent.

We had a number of conversations with confessing “Christians” who couldn’t understand why we were there? Sad to see how lost people are and the church is doing little to open their eyes to the Truth.

As the lyrics of AC/DC’s song Hell’s Bells says:

Im a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
Im comin on like a hurricane
My lightnings flashing across the sky
Youre only young but youre gonna die

I wont take no prisoners, wont spare no lives
NOBODYS PUTTING UP A FIGHT
I got my bell, Im gonna take you to hell
Im gonna get you, satan get you

Chorus:
Hells bells
Yeah, hells bells
You got me ringing hells bells
My temperatures high, hells bells

Ill give you black sensations up and down your spine
If youre into evil youre a friend of mine
See my white light flashing as I split the night
cause if goods on the left, then Im stickin to the right

I wont take no prisoners, wont spare no lives
NOBODYS PUTTING UP A FIGHT
I got my bell, Im gonna take you to hell
Im gonna get you, satan get you

Chorus

Yeow
Hells bells, satans comin to you
Hells bells, hes ringing them now
Hells bells, the temperatures high
Hells bells, across the sky
Hells bells, theyre takin you down
Hells bells, theyre draggin you around
Hells bells, gonna split the night
Hells bells, theres no way to fight, yeah

(AC/DC is right. No one, or almost no one, is putting up a fight!)
