Open Air preaching in Tacoma on the waterfront.

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO, AND TURN UP YOUR VOLUME!

Glad tidings all!  We had our first open air in Tacoma today, and it went well.  I have posted a link to a video and please understand that you must turn it up all the way to hear it, and I promise it will get better.  Here is a short summary of our experience.

Upon arriving and spending some time in prayer, Steve ( guy in the hat) and I set up and traded off playing worship songs and handing out gospel tracts.  While Steve was handing out tracts a couple stopped and began to engage us in a conversation.  Vince and his wife must have been about 60, and very mild mannered.  they are  however of the opinion that all roads lead to God.  We began to chat about what the bible said, and Vince was a little surprised to be speaking to Steve and I who actually KNOW what Jesus said about the road is broad but the gate is narrow.  In the end I was able to deliver the Gospel message to them two different times, and they listened to it.  Vince's wife actually asked me why I did not think it was ok for her to have her own beliefs.  I told her I am not telling you not to have your own beliefs.  She replied to me "what are you saying"  I responded plainly that I am saying the only way to heaven in through Jesus Christ, this is what the Bible says.  The bible is not misinterpreted and we worship a God who calls us to lay down our sinful nature, and be born again in Christ.  God sent his only son not to condemn the world but to save it.

They wanted to present to bible as true for some and not true for others, but we gently pointed out to this point again that is not possible at all.  Based on what is said in the Bible, it is either true for everyone, or true for no one.  We went on.  In the end we were able to deliver the Gospel of Jesus Christ twice to this sweet loving couple.  Once we started identifying their need for a savior Vince's wife began to get a little uncomfortable, and left saying that the conversation was going nowhere, Ah but the wisdom of the world did not understand Jesus however God is still pleased to save those who believe.  Praise be to God the seed was planted and we had a success on our first trip out!!! We will be making some needed adjustments in order to improve the sound quality of the video as well as the quality of our open air program, and we will be at it again soon.  Stay TUNED!!!!!

GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU!!!!!!
