Way of the Master Crash Course Resourses

If you aren't familiar with the Way of the Master or Ray Comfort or Kirk Cameron, then you need to visit www.wayofthemaster.com or www.livingwaters.com or www.wayofthemasterradio.com.

If you've followed this blog for very long, then you have seen the posts about the one day evangelism crash course that we held two weekends in a row in Oct. If not, here is the link to that post: http://streetadventures.blogspot.com/2008/10/double-crash-course-double-blessing.html

I want to post here some resources for anyone who may want to lead a crash course in your home or at your church. The following documents are in PDF format. The first one is a participant's guide that can be freely reproduced. The second is a leader's guide for the Way of the Master Crash Course, but it is also so much more than that. A friend of mine, Linda Essary has written this manual and it is also a guide as to how to build an evangelism team in your community. There is so much priceless information from an experienced trainer. Linda has trained up over 150o evangelists in the past 4 years using these resources, and I want wanted to make them available to you.

So without further adieu here is the link for the web page that will give you the links for the two resources for download:

I hope that you are as blessed by this material and leading a class as I have been.

Off Topic - Way off

My son Isaac and I got to go deer hunting in the N. Kaibab last weekend and my son got to take his first deer.

I did manage to get some tracts out to the gas station attendants on the way to and from the hunt, but failed miserably while out on the hunt. The deer just wouldn't stick around for any open air preaching and every time I tried to hand out tracts, they just made tracks. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. Any suggestions? LOL

Here is a picture from the hunt. We went with a friend and his two boys, (George and his boys Mike and Joey) all three kids were successful in harvesting their deer. Thank you God.

New Evangelism Encouragement Technique

Just wanted to share this video with you, as we are incorporating this new technique of evangelism training into our church after having a great turn out at the Crash Courses in October. Now, going into the holidays it may be easy for saints to get caught up in the business of the world and neglect to go out of their way to preach the Gospel.

We expect this new encouraging technique to be highly effective and are looking forward to seeing the results.

McCain Rally (Monday) before election day

Thousands of people

We were not prepared for the evening. That is an understatement. A small group of friends had decided that with Senator McCain coming to Prescott to speak last Monday evening it would be a great opportunity to hand out tracts and witness to people. Wow! We had such a great time sharing Christ with people.

The city had gated off the courthouse square, and people were lining up to proceed through the one entrance. The lines of people went both directions around the entire block, and then wrapped back on itself more than once. There were literally thousands of people standing in the closed streets for hours waiting to get into the grounds with hopes of seeing the then presidential candidate.

Tracting

We had great success in handing out Million Dollar Bills, Giant Money, and One Shrinking Dollar tracts as well as others. We even met up with some believers from a baptist church in Chino Valley who were down there for the same reason. It was good to be encouraged by brothers in the Lord.

God & Country interviews

I had brought the church video camera, and we were able to get several interviews on tape. I was basically starting in the natural, asking questions about what people thought of our country, and its relationship to God, then swinging to the spiritual by asking if they thought that the USA is a morally good country and finally getting a little more personal by asking if they considered themselves to be good people.

I have included the video for you here. It is a little long, but I didn't want to leave out any of the important parts, and I wanted you to get the feel of the interview without chopping it up too much. I also wanted to include the questions in starting in the natural for anyone who may want to try this technique themselves.

I found it to be a great way to get people to open up, although I'll admit it does take a substantial amount of time to swing to the spiritual and get down to business.

Please let me know what you think. I am always critiquing myself to judge how I can better present the Law and the Gospel and better communicate to the lost.

Jungle Jeff on the Courthouse Square

Apology

I must apologize to you all for not posting sooner on these last few evangelism encounter. My kids are much faster at posting so I'll plug their blogs which are: http://i-mansarchives.blogspot.com and http://kiahsonlineodyssey.blogspot.com/.

Jungle Jeff

Well, after our great opportunities in BCC on Halloween, we went the very next day (Sat.) to Prescott to the court house lawn to see what the atmosphere was like up there and if there were people milling around that we could engage in conversation about eternity.

Among other folks who we did get to witness to, Jungle Jeff sticks out. He is a homeless man who had been drinking but was able to communicate. He had 2 outstanding DUI warrants but refused to turn himself in, and preferred to spend the nights on the street in Prescott.

As I opened God's Holy law to this man, even through the effects of the alcohol his conscience was pricked. He began to weep as I explained that he had broken the law of a most Holy God.

In the end, Jeff would not repent this day, but I pray that the truth that we shared with him would stick with him and that he would break before God before it is too late.

We were on the square with my brother-in-law Tim and his wife Kristen, and some friends Lee and Renee and our families. Lee and Tim were also both able to share with Jeff. Please Father, open the eyes of Jungle Jeff.
