Latest Happenings on the Square

A Great Day on the Streets of Portland

Today was a great day to be on the streets of Portland! The sun was out and hundreds of people received a gospel tracts. I was able to speak to a several who expressed some interest in perhaps visiting church. Joanna spoke to an elderly man that said flat out said that he would visit, but you never know just how serious they are.

I met groups from two other churches who were out sharing tracts with others today. We were encouraged and exchanged information for a possible 'big' tract day in the future.

Pray for those who received the tracts that God would use them to fulfill His perfect will.... Read More

Again I want to thank each and every one who came out!

Join the Easter Week End Mission

Join the Easter mission on the Square Saturday, April 11th, 2009. We are meeting tomorrow at the Starbucks corner at 12:00pm, Pioneer Courthouse Square. You can come to watch, pray and/or to pass out tracts with us. Dress for cool temperatures, showers with sun breaks (we hope) in the forecast. We generally are out til 1:30 -2:00pm.

Come out if you can, but by all means please pray us during this time, that the word of the gospel is received and that the Lord would grant to us boldness to offer the gospel in written and in spoken word as the opportunity arises.

Planned Outreach on Hold for Now

I'm recovering from a very bad chest cold that has kept me from work this week. Our planned outreach for February 14th must be postponed until I recover. Prayers Appreciated

Our first 'tracting' day in 2009! Praise the Lord for willing workers coming out to hand out tracts. Our old friends Cliff and Shelby Desclux joined us(far right) will regulars Holly and Heather. Des Standfill (far left) joined us for the first time and plans to be a regular. Several hundred tracts were given out. Pray that the Lord will bless his word. Thank you for your prayers

We are looking to go out again February 14th unless the weather is absolutely terrible. Any are welcome to come out to pass out tracts and witness. We go out from Glencullen Baptist Church. We welcome any who hold to the historical Christian faith...Salvation by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. (See the Baptist Confession of Faith 1689 for our doctrinal position)

Lieutenant Ken

This past week we met a former Army Ranger paratrooper. His name is Ken...Lieutenant Ken! Wow, Ken has stories to tell and he did. Many times you need to listen to people on the street to be able to tell them the gospel. Ken took a gospel of John and gospel literature.

Here is a man that did a search and destroy missions every six weeks with a team of 3 other men. They all survived two tours of 4 years! Pray for Lieutenant Ken that he finds peace through the grace of out Lord Jesus Christ.

By the way...how old do you think Ken is? Veteran of VietNam...Ken is only 58. Alcohol has taken it's toll. We swapped gifts; I gave him a scripture pen and he gave me his four year AA token. As I finger this token I let it remind me to pray for "Lieutenant Ken" Sir.

May the Captain of the the Lord's host grant grace to Ken according to His riches in Glory.

A Place Holder!

Our family did go out this past week end to the Square. We had a great day of witnessing and giving out gospel tracts.

I've been working every day for the past 10 days, many 12 hour shifts. Great for the pocket book but hard on the body!

I'll be giving a full report soon.
