FRIDAY NIGHT SOUL PATROL

It was a busy night on the streets of Elkhart last night. It was Pastor Lance, Jeff and ministering the uncompromised Word of God. I had one guy that showed up intoxicated and said that he was a "Russian Catholic" then later said that he was "Russian Jewish Catholic". His main deal was that he wanted to me know that he was "devout". I told him that he was in eternal trouble. He responded no way I am Catholic as he pointed to the church across the street. He told him that he was on his way to hell if he did not repent of his sin and get right with the Lord. He got upset and this point and went into the bar. He came back out with his carry out beer and came right back up to me. This time he started using profanity and I then told him "see man what is all of that about"? He went back to the "devout Catholic" business again. I then took one from Pastor Troy and said "if you are a good Catholic quote me one scripture out of the Bible". A confused look came over his face and then he said that he couldn't. I then told him that it is sorry that you want to call yourself ok with the Lord and you are drunk, can't quote one scripture from the Bible and you call yourself a devout Catholic. He then started to see where he really stood with the Lord. The sad part is that most Catholics think they are going to heaven because they are Catholic. Most are misguided and lost.

Pastor Lance and Jeff ministering to a young man whose mom had just passed away. They spent quite a while with him telling him that alcohol was not the answer to dealing with things. Jeff is giving him contact information to help him in the future if he wants it.

Jeff ministers to Luis. They have developed a friendship this summer. Jeff says that he is a man that knows the Word of God but is hurting greatly inside.

Today we will be at the corner of Harrison & 5th Street in Elkhart. We will feed all that show up. This is a very heavy crack area with many prostitutes. I have been working this area for the last 5 days preparing for today. Please pray that people will come to know Jesus today!!
