It was horrible. Awful. Stomach-churning. I wanted to turn my head to avoid the tragedy that was destined to happen. I didn’t. But what I witnessed, no man should ever see…
The persecution took place at Huntington Beach during the last day of training at the Ambassadors’ Academy, a new evangelism [...]

BY TATSUO AKAMINE
(This is a wonderful testimony about how God is showing His favor as we preach the Gospel in unconventional places. Tatsuo has been preaching nearly everyday at our local Social Security since starting last year. On Thursday, you will read about how Tatsuo was surrounded by the police at the 3rd St. Promenade [...]

This is an anonymous email I received from a person who was not impressed with the Million Dollar Bill Gospel tract:
I was leaving the pier after dinner with a friend when I was handed the million dollar bill. We were laughing and joking when we were approached by a young man who thrusted two of [...]

This man is a sold out evangelist who graduated from my class about a year ago. On Monday he was arrested in a Communist country, whereabouts unknown.

As a covert missionary to this Communist country he has been evangelizing for many, many years, but when he understood the teaching of “Hell’s Best Kept Secret,” he took off [...]

Tatsuo Akimine had an interesting encounter while preaching in front of the Social Security office last week.
As he stood on his preaching stool, a large, well-dressed black man pushed him off. “I don’t want to hear that!” he complained. “Shut-up!”
Tatsuo calmly replied, “I’ve got First Amendment rights to be here.”
“Well, you’re violating my rights,” the big [...]

Yami Rodriguez graduated at the top of our evangelism class a few months ago.

Here is how she is being rewarded for her new-found skills:
“Last week I was on a short-term assignment from a temp agency that was supposed to last for one month. The day that I passed out Gospel tracts in the lunch room I was [...]

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 [...]

“Poor little brain-washed kid!”
—Comment from a Walmart worker after my 8-year-old daughter D.D. handed him a Gospel tract.

The server bolts to the backroom as I enter; when I say “Hi!” her eyes roll. I’ve been abandoned mid-order, gossiped about, and rebuked in front of other customers. She’s been just plain nasty, rude, and intimidating. Still, I continue to patronize Peet’s Coffee in Redondo Beach. Why? In addition to their great coffee, I [...]

This 30 second video demonstrates with absolute clarity the error of declaring “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.” Ouch!

If the video doesn’t work see it in slow-mo here.

Back in May I posted an article on Holy Hubert, a man who preached faithfully on the campus of Berkeley and was severely persecuted for his efforts. (Read it here.)
“Violent reaction to Holy Hubert’s bold evangelism put him in the hospital a dozen times at California’s radical Berkeley campus. He was blinded in 1965 during [...]

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 is the conclusion of my 7-part Fiesta Hermosa perspectives series. Click here to start the series.)
Five angry emails, two mean voicemails, and a nasty postcard were all I received from people offended at our open air preaching and Gospel tract distribution during the Labor Day weekend pagan celebration called Fiesta Hermosa.
One person wrote that [...]

I was carrying a huge box of vegetables at the Farmer’s Market when a man in a wheelchair pulled up alongside. “Did ya hear about Tammy Faye Baker? She died. Did ya see her on Larry King? Those big eyes, skinny—now she’s dead.”
 I’ve had my run-ins with him in the past when handing out my [...]

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 [...]

We set up our dummy, Eutychus’ Sis, on the Redondo Beach Pier last Saturday to attract the crowds.
People would stop in horror; we would preach to them. After three sermons by three evangelists, it was my turn. I gave it a go and when I finished, three policemen greeted me. Someone had complained about [...]

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.

I saw him. He saw me.
Dreaded Security.
At the mall.
Again.
“Are you still handing out those Million-dollar bill Gospel tracts? You know that you are not supposed to do that,” 19-year-old Ryan stated flatly, his badge glistening in the setting sun.
“Yes, I am,” I admitted, “and I will stop. BUT! I will be using Illusion [...]
