Street Witnessing Downtown Springfield MO July 28 2023

July 30, 2023 by dennis@seekandsavethelost.com Leave a Comment

Street Witnessing – Downtown Springfield, MO – 7/28/23

Brad with Repent and Turn Ministries joined Michael, Anand and three of Anand’s girls downtown Friday night to witness and he gave this report of their night. We met up at the regular place.  We prayed together, then started off.  There is still road and sidewalk construction going on.  We started walking up both sides of the street towards the Square, passing out gospel tracts to those who would take them. We walked down another street on the sidewalk, continuing to pass out tracts to people along the way.  Some would take the gospel tracts and others would not.  Anand’s girls were great, handing out a tract to someone and saying, “Would you like a gospel tract?”  Sometimes people would say yes and other times they would say no.  It didn’t seem to bother them when they were told no, they would move on to the next person.  We can take a lesson from them.

When we got back to the Square area, Michael and I walked in to see what was going on. They had bongo type drums that were being played, and a person or two were out there playing with fire, swinging it around on ropes and/or sticks.  People were sitting around listening to the drumming and chatting. Michael and I started walking up to people.  I would say hello and let them know that we were out asking if we can pray for them or for someone they know that is having a hard time, etc.

The first couple we came up to was Diamond and Blue.  Diamond was 3 months pregnant and had Eczema.  It was getting inflamed and itched.  We prayed for her eczema and her baby.  We handed them gospel tracts and they thanked us. Then there was a lady named Carol.  She asked if we could pray for her to find a house, as she didn’t have a place to live right now.  We did pray for this.  She said she goes to Freeway Church.  We gave her a gospel tract.

We walked up to these two guys, who said they were both named Jay.  When asked if there was anything to pray with them about, they said no.  I asked if there was anyone else we could pray for, Jay said we could pray for his dad. He didn’t give any details, but said, “God knows”.  We handed them gospel tracts, we fist bumped and they thanked us. We walked away from them and stood talking and looking around.  There were two guys behind us, sitting down on the steps.  He spoke up and told us hello. He started the conversation, so we walked over and I sat next to Neill, and his buddy was named Joshua.

After a bit, I asked if we can pray for them.  Neill said we can pray for him, as he currently has bladder cancer and other cancer and is undergoing treatment.  We prayed for him.  Afterwards, Michael started talking with them and shared a little about his life and told them part of his testimony.  They seemed glad to hear it and talked like they believed in God, but struggle and said it’s tough.  Michael gave them gospel tracts.

We met back up with Anand and the kids and walked around some more and passed out some tracts.  We then went to the cars and headed home. We didn’t verbally share the gospel much tonight, but we did pass out gospel tracts and had caring conversations with people and prayed for them.  This is sharing the love of Jesus with them.

I’m Going To Hell

May 22, 2022 by dennis@seekandsavethelost.com 2 Comments

I’m Going To Hell

Ministry Update May 22, 2022

Keven, Joshua and I walked around downtown handing out tracts Friday night. Seemed like several people took tracts and we also had a lot of rejections. But a lot of times Joshua would reach out his arm to hand out a tract and say, “Are you going to Heaven or going to Hell?” The overwhelming majority said they were going to Heaven. Of course we don’t know what they are counting on to get there, so we want people to take tracts so they can read the Gospel. But Friday night Joshua had two different men say, “I’m going to Hell” and they were both proud of that fact.

Another thing Joshua said while handing out tracts is “Here’s good news for you.” Sometimes people would take the tract but other times they refused. I joked with Keven and Joshua that we need to come up with a tract that says Bad News on it and say if you don’t want the good news, here’s bad news for you. We could literally tell people the bad news that they have sinned against our Holy, Righteous God and that death and Hell await them. We could also just leave it with the bad news and then give them a phone number to call in case they change their minds and want to hear the good news after all.

Drive By Encourager

I brought a short message earlier in the night on how we all serve someone. As I was sharing the Gospel a woman drove by and said “You bet’ and followed that up with “Amen”. Sometimes we have drive by mockers, but it was nice having a drive by encourager. One young man stood near the building at the end of the parking lot listening to part of the message. Keven and Joshua handed out tracts during this time too. The three of us had a great time of fellowship Friday night. I enjoy the fellowship as much as the street witnessing.

(These updates are provided to encourage Christians to share the glorious Gospel with this lost and dying world. Christian, you may not go out street witnessing, but you can hand someone a Gospel tract. You can share your testimony with others. If you haven’t done so already, please start today.)

I Want To Talk To You How You Got The Way You Are

I Want To Talk To You How You Got The Way You Are

Ministry Update December 8, 2019

While I was open-air preaching at Missouri State University on Wednesday, a student politely interrupted me and said, “I want to talk to you about how you got the way you are.” I assured him that I’d be happy to talk to him, but I was just getting ready to share my testimony and that would answer his question. Since I wanted all the students nearby to hear, I would go ahead and tell everyone how I became a Christian and then we could talk one to one. Surprisingly, he agreed and stood around for the next few minutes. [Read more…]

Persuasive Words

Persuasive Words

Have you ever had someone talk you into doing something that you didn’t want to do by using persuasive words? When I was a young kid, I remember older kids talking me into doing something I shouldn’t and usually something stupid. Or maybe you have had a slick salesperson talk you into buying something that you regretted purchasing. Sometimes people can persuade you with enticing words to fall for something or buy something that you really don’t need or may not even really want. [Read more…]

Not A Sheep Of Society

Not A Sheep Of Society

Ministry Update October 13, 2019

“Are you a follower of Jesus? Do you hear His voice? Jesus said My Sheep hear My voice? Are you one of His sheep?” I asked these questions at Missouri State University on Wednesday. A young lady answered, “Yes, I’m not a sheep of society.” I said Amen to her being a follower of Jesus, but told her that I didn’t want her to be a sheep of society. I’m pleading for students to be sheep of Jesus. Again, Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice. I thought the student’s response was kind of strange, but that’s what she said. [Read more…]

Does The Gospel Sound Foolish To You?

Does The Gospel Sound Foolish To You?

My friends and I come out here on Friday nights and share the Gospel. We typically point out that all of us have sinned against God, that we’ve all rebelled against God and there’s nothing that we can do to save ourselves. Does the Gospel sound foolish to you? [Read more…]

Born a Christian

Ministry Update August 14, 2016

While Aaron was preaching Friday night, I was standing next to him with a sign that says Jesus Saves His People From Their Sins and a young man named Jacob came and stood beside me. I handed him a Gospel tract. He read it and kept standing there so Erica came over and held my sign for me so I could talk to him.  [Read more…]

A lot of people say that they are glad that evangelism “isn’t their spiritual gift” (I know, because I used to be one of them). Other people say that God doesn’t prompt them to witness. [Read more…]
