This year the San Juan Capistrano Tree Lighting Ceremony falls on Saturday December 4. We will be there again to sing Christmas Carols, pass out "Carols By Candlelight" gospel tracts, and to preach the gospel to those attending. If you have never attended this ceremony in SJC, it is a very enjoyable evening. There is a concert in the park followed by the tree lighting, after which everybody heads over to the downtown area to take in the concert in Mission SJC or to enjoy the many sights and sounds in the downtown area.
Now that Easter at the Bren has come and gone at Compass Bible Church and the street teams are taking a well deserved break (a short one mind you - more on that later), I have been once again feeling the call to preach the gospel in the open air. So, I have decided to become active once again in Project Ezra which is a group of evangelists who simply read the scriptures weekly in public and preach the gospel in the open air. I have chosen the Aliso Viejo Town Center as the location for this and plan on making this a weekly endeavor - every Saturday night at 7pm. So, if you feel like stretching your evangelistic wings, come join me any Saturday night at 7pm at the Aliso Viejo Town Center at the ampitheater. Prayer warriors are encouraged to come too and pray as the gospel is proclaimed!
I just read over at my friend Tony Miano's blog, The Lawman Chronicles, that a dear brother in Christ, Shawn Holes, is currently sitting in a jail cell in Glascow, Scotland for preaching the truth about the sin of homosexuality.We were preaching today on the streets and experiencing much adversity from police. We were warned not to preach against homosexuality, and if we did we could get arrested. Brother Shawn Holes was preaching when a group of young people began to shout questions at him. One question that they insisted on getting an answer was the issue of homosexuality. Shawn told them it was a sin against God, and that he loved them, and this is why he was telling them the truth, After he stepped down from preaching he was arrested and taken into custody. He will be in jail until tomorrow. He will stand before the judge tomorrow, and see what will come of this. Apparently this may be the first time this crime has been brought before a judge in this specific manner. We went back out to the street and began to preach again!!! We will not stop; may the Lord be glorified.
This Saturday (03/20), LoveTheLost team member Dave S. will be leading an evangelism team to the Swallow's Day Parade in San Juan Capistrano. The team will be meeting in the parking lot at SCCA at 8:30 am and will walk to the parade site from there. Come join us and help preach the gospel to every creature!
