Saturday, the 15th March
- An attentive group listening to the preaching tends to ‘invite’ other people not with the believers to stop and listen.
- It is a great opportunity for those in the crowd to speak to any one who would seem to have need of the gospel explained to them further
- Also, strong young man watching your back side is a great comfort to the preacher that some ruffian does not catch him unawares.
- But perhaps the greatest need is the co-workers praying for the word of God to have an eternal effect on the hearers.
Upon arriving we noticed that there was an unusually security and Police presence. We later discovered that there was scheduled for this very day an anti-war rally, more on that later.
In addition to having Daniel and myself present, there were two young men and a young lady in their twenties with one high schooler and her ten year old sister. The girls always do great handing out tracts. A rocker passed me by only to walk to next corner to receive a tract gladly from our ‘little gal’ offering a word of life. Care must be taken to pair up the children with a ‘guardian’, but the word is spread most effectively by these little soldiers. I would recommend though that a child must be a believer and understand what they are doing so that the decision to hand out tracts is theirs. This ten year old asked to come out when she beheld the example of one our young ladies in the church.
WALKING THROUGH THE PROTESTERS
We had purposed in our heart to walk to the PSU campus free speech zone before the day was done to gather there for prayer for the campus. The PSU campus is about four blocks as the crow flies from the square. On our way there we walk through a crowd protesting the ‘
We came in contact with the peace crowd as we approached the campus park area. Loud rock music blared out, with a base drum beat that reminded Daniel of ‘war drums’ of some wild uncivilized society. As we made our way south through the crowd our ‘little trouper’ was handing out “School Shootings – The common Denominator” tracts as she went. There were at least 40 plus tracts handed out just walking through the people.
NO ONE SPEAKS FOR THE SLAUGHTERED INNOCENTS
The grass area around the free speech area was covered with little white flags signifying the Iraqi lives supposedly lost due to the war. Forgotten are the 35 million little babies that have been slaughtered since Roe v Wade. They wonder why there is no peace. We have not seen any thing yet. In the Old Testament we read of God raising up the nations around
PRAY FOR THE PREACHING OF GOD’S
The rain began pouring down as we joined hand to pray on the brick ‘free speech’ platform. Jesus stood up in the last days of the feast and cried out, “Out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water!” As the great river flowed out from the high
Pray for us, as it is our intention to go to PSU to preach this Wednesday the 19th at around noon. We hope to make the campus a regular preaching station in the future.

Brothers, I will continue to remember you in my prayers as you preach the Gospel truth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Soli Deo Gloria!
Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! ~ 1 Corinthians 9:16 ESV
It stirs my heart to hear of public preaching taking place downtown. I will be praying for you and for an opportunity to come down and join you in prayer with the boys.
May the Lord protect you and keep you and may you shine like angels before all those who look upon you.
