Footing the Bill

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, then you know that we love passing out the Million Dollar Bill Gospel tract. It’s a fun and easy way to get the Word out, because the Gospel message is written on the back.
Our church, with permission from Living Waters Publications, printed 2.5 [...]

The Demon Dog of Hollywood Blvd.!

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Hollywood Boulevard isn’t safe. It’s a dangerous street. An awful dark-and-stormy-night type of street, even in daytime. Every corner holds a new terror, strange freaks of nature, horrible hobgoblins.
You might be forced to pay a buck to the crazy guy in the Gene Simmons KISS get-up;

Or a googly-eyed Scientologist might entice you to “get clear” for a [...]

Arresting Ray Comfort

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Ray is concerned that he might be arrested due to the latest Million Dollar Bill scandal:
The Million Dollar Bill tract not only made the Home Page of Foxnews.com today, but it was also on Yahoo’s Home Page and USA Today. While this is wonderful publicity, I’m wondering if the Secret Service isn’t going to arrest [...]

Another Million Dollar Scandal!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

AIKEN, S.C. — A bank teller had a million reasons to deny this transaction. Police say a man tried to open an account with a $1 million bill, which does not exist. The teller refused and called police while the man started to curse at bank workers, said Aiken County Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Michael [...]

Bulletin Board Boldness!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

“Hey honey! Look! There’s money on that bulletin board!”

“Wait a minute… that’s not real money.”
“It’s those stupid million dollar bills that we see all over the place! I think they say something about Hell.”
“Man. How brave do you have to be to pin one of those on a board?”

“Christians are so chicken!”
“I [...]

Shamu Salvation

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

On November 1st, my littlest daughter, Laurel, celebrated her 6th birthday at SeaWorld in San Diego.
We have taken full advantage of the family pass we purchased at the beginning of the year, this being our fourth visit. We always bring our Million Dollar bill Gospel tracts, never knowing how God will use them—and us—as we [...]

Facing the… Griffins?

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

75 strong, the Grossmont Griffins emptied the chafing dishes at Hometown Buffet. I took advantage of the situation by handing every player a Million Dollar Bill Gospel tract.

Their coaches, wives, friends, and hangers-on all got one as well. I wasn’t afraid because God was on my side. Management was not as brave. They made an [...]

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

You can find the Million Dollar bill Gospel tract in the unlikeliest of places!
But this is ridiculous!
I’ll just bet the owner of this store asked Jesus into his heart during an altar call…

Sanctifying Idols #2

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Here are some more nifty ideas when the restaurant you attend is surrounded by strange, lifeless things that others give power to and may even worship. Put your (Gospel) money where it really counts; that’s what I did at this Mongolian BBQ place.

Let those stone idols with eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot [...]

Salvation Vacation 4: Million Dollar Mime

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

(Read part 1 of 5 here.)
Everyone loves a mime.
That’s not true.
Kids love mimes; most adults can’t stand them. But there are some good ones, like at SeaWorld. In anticipation of another otter/seal/walrus act, a mime came out to do a pre-show warm up for the audience. At my insistence, our 8-year-old D. D. [...]

Fun W/Millions: EVERYWHERE! By Cyndee

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Homework for our current evangelism class includes handing out a Million-dollar Gospel-Tract to one person a day, every day of the week, and posting a short E-vangie Tale about it. One student, Cyndee, has written a Tale nearly everyday. I do believe she will be a successful Seedsower. Here is one short Tale that she [...]

Catholic Traffic

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Last Friday I had a hankerin’ to head down my block and wait outside the Catholic Church.
It was nearly 1:00pm and I wanted to hand out Million-Dollar bill Gospel-Tracts to the faithful exiting the hallowed halls after their traditional Good Friday Service. My reasoning was this: For those who truly know the Lord, they [...]

Fun W/Millions: Million $ Fig leaves

Monday, March 26th, 2007

The Million-dollar bill Gospel tract serves many purposes. One is that the message on the back of the bill exposes things that men would love to keep hidden. The second purpose is that it can cover things that should remain hidden.
What a great idea it was to take the entire family to [...]

P.E.T.A. Proselytzing

Friday, January 26th, 2007

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals may object to this type of evangelism. Still, we live in desperate times and people are dying and going to Hell everyday! Use Fido and Kip and Rover to help get that Million-dollar bill with the Gospel of life into the hands of that pet lover who cares [...]

Where Do the Million-Dollar Bills End Up Anyway?

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

This is from our friend Francis (who is a secular Jew) who moved away with her family from California without notice. Avi is her husband and Ishai is her 7-year-old son.
“Well it’s just so funny: Avi and Ishai got the million-dollar bill at a summer fair in Redondo, and of course Ishai really thinks [...]

Fun W/ Millions:: TIME TO KILL by Warren C.

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

I had some time to kill before picking up my parents at the airport, so I stopped by the Fox Hills Mall in Culver City. As I pulled my car into the mall I saw a bus stop with a ton of people. I pulled out a stack of 100 Million-dollar bill Gospel tracts and [...]

She Fears God More

Monday, November 27th, 2006

A godly woman I know told me this recently:
“I feel like vomiting whenever I hand out a million-dollar bill; but I fear God more than I do man, so I do it.” She has also said that her hand shakes and she thinks that someone is going to beat her up when she gives [...]

Fun w/Millions: STANDING FIRM by Richard Chavarria

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

While handing out tracts at Bristol Farms market I had a funny encounter with the store manager…
He asked me for my identification card; I showed him my driver’s license.
“No,” he said. “I want to see your identification card like the one the (Missionary Church of the Disciples of Jesus Christ) lady has [...]

Fun W/ Millions: THE OFFICE by Olga Boadt

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Olga is Director of Human Relations at her company. This is her account of a million dollar day at work:
I was asked to go to our corporate office in Marina Del Rey, and I needed a box filled with documents to be taken to my car. I asked one of the fellows in the mailroom, [...]

Fun w/ Millions: Tough Crowd

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

At the AM/PM gas station last night: I gave a Gospel tract to some guy filling his car. He looked me straight in the eye and told me that he got one of these before—then threw it right in the trash as he looked at me.
Today at lunch: A woman heard our conversation and pulled [...]

Jerry’s Mom

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

My friend, Jerry Zell sent me this picture of his 86-year-old mother Doris, handing a million-dollar bill Gospel tract to her nurse. When you get to be of a certain age—you just don’t give a darn! Good job, Mom!

Fun w/ Millions: Saving Captain Kirk

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

This is a fun story from my friend, Shirley Kuzmunich, who is a set nurse on the T.V. show, Boston Legal.
I remember hearing you talk about William Shatner saying that he wondered where he would go when he dies. Now everytime I work with him I am praying for a chance to tell him. [...]

Fun W/ Million: Da Vinci & Da Disciple

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

I spoke to a young woman from our church last week. She had something that was pressing on her mind and just had to tell me:
A few months ago I wrote about how I handed out million-dollar bill gospel tracts after a showing of The Da Vinci Code (See Fun w/Millions: Da Vinci Dollars). [...]

Fun W/ Millions: 45 Minutes

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

I didn’t have much time this morning at the Farmer’s Market; my wife had a doctor’s appointment which gave me only 45 minutes to check out the fruits and nuts. I found them not quite ripe…
I saw a guy with a professional video camera and wanted to know what show he was shooting. “I [...]

Fun w/ Millions: Chicken Matzah

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Okay. Sometimes I’m a chicken… I handed the million dollar bill gospel tract to these two Orthodox Jews—then ran away before they could read the message of their Messiah. Oy Vey!

Fun w/Millions: Winning Tickets

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

I interrupted a small raffle at the Farmer’s Market today. Well, it wasn’t really an interruption; I just saw a bunch of people waiting around for their numbers to be drawn so I gave them something to read while they were waiting—million dollar bill gospel tracts. Anytime I see a crowd I hand them out. [...]

Fun w/ Millions: Disney Destinies

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

I take seriously the command from Jesus to “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation”—even when the creation is a character! There was a long line waiting to see Winnie, so I could only give him a million dollar bill gospel tract. I’m sure glad he didn’t pooh-pooh the [...]

Fun w/ Millions: The Shy Guy

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

He didn’t want to go , but I convinced the very shy and introverted “Bill” to join me for one hour last Friday as I evangelized and handed out million dollar bill gospel tracts. “Okay,” he agreed, “but I’m not going to talk.”
Within fifteen minutes he had separated himself from our group and was furiously [...]

Fun w/Millions: Little and Lost

Saturday, July 8th, 2006

A group of school kids swirled around me and my daughters at the Farmer’s Market. I quickly urged them to hand out their million dollar bill gospel tracts while they had the chance. Each kid took one, but the adult team leader knew what we were up to and started taking them back from the [...]

mini-vangie: My Wife’s Big Idea

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

My wife Karen is a great help-mate; I just don’t always realize it, you know, being a guy and all. I had to preach four sermons this past weekend on: What else? Evangelism. Karen suggested that I invite the congregation over to our house for P.I.E. (Pizza, Intercession, Evangelism) afterwards, then everyone would walk on [...]
