I reported last week that my wife Karen woke up one morning and discovered that half of her face was paralyzed, a symptom, we discovered, of Bell’s Palsy. Though there has not been much improvement, we are very grateful for the many tears and prayers that have been shed on her behalf. Thank you for all your support. [...]

When he’s not complaining about how cold it is in Canada or how much snow he has to shovel from the roof of his house, Paul LaTour contributes witty, encouraging commentary to this blog and is a fervent Gospel preacher.
Paul sent me a few pictures about how things are done in the frozen North:
I’m just [...]

The following E-vangie Tale is by a brand new student who showed up the third week of our 6-week class. On the third week, I surprise the students by taking them out unexpectedly to share their faith. And boy, was she surprised—and touched. 
By Mia McName
I started the Evangelism (without fear) class two weeks late and Steve [...]

It’s an unfortunate truth that with sharing the Gospel comes persecution; Jesus promised it implicitly: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness…” “Blessed are you when people insult you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me…” “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.”
Most believers don’t [...]

One more E-vangie Tale from a student in my Drama/Evangelism class for 9-13-year-olds. This is from Cody Heath, age 12:
Yesterday I handed my buddy some tracts. We talked, then my buddy’s Mom came out and handed me a gift certificate for $300.00 for martial arts lessons. I was so happy that I almost forgot what my buddy’s [...]

This is the third E-vangie Tale written by a student from my evangelism/drama class. 10-year-old Kristina Pagett is the author:
I was at Target with my mom when a lady walked toward us. I said, “Did you get one of these?”
She said “No, thank you,” which in other words was, “No I don’t want it.”
Mom said that [...]

Hear is another “Gospel tract testimony” from my evangelism/drama class, in which the 9 to 13-year-olds, as part of their homework, must write their experiences of what happened as they handed out one million dollar bill Gospel tract a day.  This one is from Bronson McFarland, age 12:
 “When I was walking my neighbor’s dog, a girl walked past us. I stood [...]

I teach an evangelism/drama class at my church for kids 9-13 years of age (ya gotta teach them when they are young because when they get older they just won’t do it!). Part of their homework is to hand out a million-dollar bill Gospel tract each day and write about their experiences. I will post [...]

By “Righteous Richard” Chavarria
I had an interesting conversation with a Muslim man after preaching at the Hawthorne Department of Motor Vehicles; he wanted to ask me some questions about my faith.

He said that he didn’t believe the Bible was accurate because in Europe the Bible has 72 books. Also, he explained, the preface of the King James Bible has errors in the [...]

BY RAY WORLITZ
(Ray is a student in our latest evangelism class. Each student’s homework is to hand out one Million Dollar bill Gospel tract each day of the class. Here are two sad and humorous encounters he experienced.)
I made two attempts to give out a Million dollar gospel tract:
Attempt #1- A pastor: He politely declined [...]

By Amy Ross
Amy is a friend of mine who encountered an interesting coincidence while on a mission trip…
Walking in front of Edinburgh castle on Wednesday after Andrej met me at the train station, I was handed a flyer by a man dressed as a monk. I didn’t pay much attention until I heard him [...]

Here’s yet another reason why I try not to patronize Starbucks. I do however, enjoy Peet’s Coffee, even though there is an angry server there who hates me with a passion; that story will be told next week.

BY TATSUO AKIMINE
Since August 13 Tatsuo Akimine has preached every morning at a local DMV in Torrance without fail. He gets there at about 7:30am then preaches to the line of people waiting for the doors to open at 8am. Recently he discovered that the local Social Security office just up the street opens at [...]

(This perspective was written in response to the five angry emails and two voicemails received from fair-goers voicing displeasure with our evangelistic zeal at the Fiesta Hermosa last Labor Day Weekend. )
It is amazing to me how much negativity can be stirred up by just a handful of disgruntled sinners.
Letters to the press. [...]

BY BILL AND INGRID CASLIN
(Read the story that inspired this here.)
I had to send you some good news about the fair. My wife, Ingrid, and I were walking through the fair after our shift at the Gospel tract booth. Ingrid bought some sunglasses from a shop that was in the Fiesta Hermosa and she gave [...]

I was very moved when I saw “Righteous” Richard Chavarria do open-air preaching at the Torrance DMV, and was amazed at the stilled hush of the more than 50 people standing in line who listened intently as he delivered his 8 minute message from the sidewalk. I asked him for a copy of the message [...]

Braddock Whipple (AKA Indiana Jones) is one of our evangelists. He is away for the summer working on a fishing boat in the wilds of Alaska. Here is his report:
Well, we’re back in the little port of St. Petersburg, Alaska. I have run out of evangelism tracts, so I have been walking up to people [...]

I have pretty much had it with Starbucks, what with their liberal agenda and their mini-mart tasting brew. Imagine my delight when Anna Jackson counter-attacked this establishment with not-so-covert Gospel presentations—right inside the coffee house!!! Whew! I’ll bet this made management’s mohawks stand on end…
Here’s her report:
The coffee house outreach started on a hot [...]

The motto for our evangelism team is “Go and make—mistakes!” Richard Chavarria made this one on a recent weekend in Huntington Beach:
I handed a man a Million dollar bill Gospel tract.
“What is it?” he asked.
“It’s has the million dollar question on the back,” I replied. “If you died today would you go to Heaven [...]

My family and I attended A WOWJAM event that was held in the park just a block from our house.
We found out about this event from flyers we received on our front door. No information was given about it being a Christian outreach. The flyers offered free haircuts, food, prizes, games, face [...]

Today marks our 11th wedding anniversary!
I’m proud to share my wife’s dramatic story of how she was persecuted for sharing her faith. I took the kids home and left her to relax at Carol’s Bed & Breakfast toward the end of our family vacation in San Diego. I certainly didn’t expect this to [...]

(Val is a new member of our evangelism team)
The leader of our evangelism team Steve Sanchez, and I, had a meeting over coffee one afternoon; I wanted to share some of my testimony with him. Little did I realize he had a challenge waiting for me. He said, “On your way to work today I [...]

Linda Bush is taking my evangelism class for the first time. She is relatively shy, unassuming… and if you knew her, you would never think that she would ever do something like this!
When I was in class the Holy Spirit gave me the perfect place to hand out my Million-Dollar bill Gospel tracts… I have [...]

Fellow evangelist Logan Paschke pulled no punches when he went evangelizing at the “Spiderman” opening last week. He actually went as the character!
“I went to the theater and was able to give out about 300 Million dollar bill Gospel tracts,” he wrote. “I was even able to give 150 to a group of Christians [...]

(This week will feature open-air preaching stories…)
Logan is an on-fire evangelist from who sent this to me:
It’s Saturday night. I’m standing on an open-air stool on a mega church youth campus.
There are hundreds of kids from every bad neighborhood walking around and skateboarding. Bathrooms get tagged by graffiti. Gangs meet. More than likely [...]

Today at the Galleria mall I was passing out Million-Dollar Bill Gospel tracts when a security guard stopped me.
“What you are doing is a form of solicitation and we do not allow it here,” he said.
“I’m not selling anything,” I replied.
He insisted and forbade me. I humbly complied.

Douglas was a man who had a “back story.”
We all have a back story: Some of us come with a heritage of faith & faithfulness; some of us came with the testimony of God’s ability to rescue us from terrible circumstances; the latter was true of Douglas, a man who had a past that some [...]

On the way home today I decided to stop by Fry’s in Manhattan Beach. I parked my vehicle at Manhattan Village Mall and saw a crowd at the grand opening of Joey’s BBQ; noticing there was a mall cop, I needed to be discreet.
At a table were two guys signing autographs; I recognized [...]

This is an excerpt from evangelist Mark Cahill’s book, “One Thing You Can’t Do in Heaven,” concerning a conversation that he had with Darryl, the brother of basketball star, Charles Barkley.
When Charles went into another room, Darryl told me, “You know, I had a heart attack a couple of months ago.” Then he added, [...]

I have spent 12 years crab fishing on the Bering sea of Alaska (the most dangerous job in the world), repossessed cars in L.A. for two years, and have been a Private Investigator for over 20,(specializing in surveillance, fatality airplane crashes, and homicides). I have been shipwrecked for days at sea with no water, [...]
