Graduating Evangelism Class of 2010 - Basic Training

Graduating Evangelism Class of 2010 - Basic Training

"Every Christian here is either a missionary or an impostor." ~ Charles Spurgeon

Here are the students from our 8 week evangelism training class (Feb. 22nd, 2010 - April 19th, 2010), that persevered to the end of our class. Watch out for these people as they are now well prepared to be a witness for Jesus Christ!
Our Monday night class was from 7 to 9 PM, at the Calvary Chapel church. We studied the Bible, used "The Way Of The Master" Basic Training Videos, and went out weekly witnessing. This group is now sharing the "GOOD NEWS" with everyone, so look for them hitting the streets and the malls.

"He who does not serve God where he is, would not serve God anywhere else." ~ Charles Spurgeon

'Death' visits campuses for 'Every 15 Minutes' and so does the Gospel to keep them alive

This past Wednesday and Thursday we went to PV and Chico High School where a person dressed as the grim reaper went into the class rooms plucking students every 15 minutes. The idea of the 'Every 15 Minutes' program is to use drama and fear to show teens the potentially lethal consequences of drinking and driving. We were able to meet pass out hundreds of Gospel tracts from the sidewalk at both schools.

The kids were able to watch a dramatization of what happens as police, firefighters, medics and a funeral home respond to a two-vehicle head-on collision, with even a chaplain assisting as they give the parents a fake death certificate of their child. The students watched as the 'dead' person was zipped into a body bag and placed in a hearse for the trip to the mortuary.

We were able to pass out over 400 Gospel tracts in the 2 days during what was most of our lunch breaks, and had a blast. At Chico High School one girl was waiting for her friends to catch up and so we were able to talk and I had asked her if she knew the Lord. She said kind of, which is an interesting answer. I then asked her if she was 'Born-Again', to which she responded that she did not. She told me that she had tried to read the Bible once but it didn't make sense to her.

I was able to talk to her about sin and how unless we see our sin for what it is we will never see our need for a savior. I got to plant a seed that day and also encouraged her to read the Gospel of John, which was written that we would know God. It was a great time and we continue to pray for the High School kids. Here is a short video that shows some of the outreach. God Bless!




Calvary Chapel is a very good Bible-based church and we recommend them. Find a Calvary Chapel Church
