If this your first time on this blog please go to the archives and click on January, then scroll down to lostvegas08. Went down to Calvary Downtown clothing ministry. If you can help on Friday morning's please get in contact with them. David and his wife would like prayer for their unborn baby and for work. Ed a believer want's prayer for protection while he is on the street. Yaja has an unspoken request. Went down to the homeless teenager's stand down. A stand down is an event give these teenager's, haircuts, clothing, help with their education, and job fair. While I was setting up some of the volunteer's came by and I was able to share the whole gospel with them. One of them said the illustration of JESUS paying our fine made a lot of sense. Then I was able to share the whole gospel with three young ladies. They took a lot of tract's and thing's like that. There were four people from the education department directly across from me who also heard the gospel. A young man walked out the door where I was at with some thing's in a bag. I thought he was there for this event but he was there for community service. I was able to share the whole gospel, give him a tract, gospel of John and invited him to the young adult fellowship. This year the youth that I saw were underprivileged teens. I went inside[our table was by the entrance] to talk to the youth. I was able to share the gospel with Devin who is fourteen. A large group of these youth's all left at once as they were car pulled there. They all took gospel tract's and pennies with the ten commandment's! One youth[I can read it without my glasses] started to read them right away. There were no more youth at that time so I sat with some more volunteers. As I was sharing the gospel with Dennis, Nichole, and Bobby another volunteer came over and sat down. After about ten seconds she left and then the director came by and said that they normally didn't have faith base group's there. I told her that yes we didn't know why we were invited. She didn't ask me to leave so I stayed. I was able to hand out tract's to some of the UNLV football team. While I was at our table a lady came back with a lot of the ten commandment pennies that her son had took. She said that he was handing them out! I said that that is what they were for. Towards the end I talked to a lady who brought in some youth's from her foster home. Their was another CHRISTian lady there who ministred to the young ladies in that home. As I was packing up Eddie another volunteer came by who grew up in a traditional church. I was able to share the whole gospel with him. Please pray for these dear people. Thank you so much! All glory to GOD!
