MICHIGAN ST/SOUTH BEND STREETS!!!!

Pastor Lance & I headed for the Michigan Street area today to minister the WORD!! We were out to STOP the devil's control of this area!!
We were witnessing to the students @ The Crossing Alternative School when a lady stopped by to tell me that there was another lady @ McDonald's that wanted to talk to me. As soon as we got there it was on!!! We ministered the WORD to many inside the McDonald's. There was a group of 4 sitting in a section and I walked in and asked them "which one of you guy's love Jesus?". There were two guys and two girls and they were just hanging out. One of the girls (Carla) said that she loved Jesus and that was the only response that I got. I said to Carla "since you love JESUS I am going to give you a penny (cross penny). The other girl laughed and said "a penny" and blew me off. As soon as she saw Carla's penny she immediately wanted one along with the 2 guys also. That opened the door to be able to start witnessing to them.
RESULT - Louis gave his life to Jesus today. Louis was sitting outside by himself when we arrived and I asked him if he was ok, his response was "I'm cool" and I went inside. Pastor Lance and I started talking to him and he was very quiet and looked like he was mad. He finally started opening up to us and tell us that his life was messed up. We kept giving him the WORD and he said that he needed to change his life and get it right with JESUS!!!! He told Pastor Lance that he just felt that he couldn't be good enough and seemed to be always messing up.
RESULT - Carla gave her life to JESUS today. Carla was asked if she was to die today if she would go to heaven or hell? The became a reality check to Carla right away and she became very serious. She said that she wanted the assurance that she would spend eternity in heaven. She had the biggest smile on her face the rest of the time that we spent with her.
RESULT - Joe gave his life to JESUS today. Pastor Lance said that Joe was ripe for the picking and what made you sit down with me? He said that he opened up the BIBLE last night trying to search for something better. He was amazed that we witnessed to him after what he was thinking about last night. He feels that GOD really wants to use him!!RESULT - Jimmy was sitting outside when I went to the van to get something and when I was walking back in he stopped me and told me that he needed to get his life right with JESUS. I sat down with him and he told me that he was not being the husband and father that he needed to be. He said that he had a relationship with JESUS when he was in prison but he had fallen away and had gotten heavy into alcohol. Jimmy rededicated his life to JESUS today and said that now he wanted to live for HIM and get his life in order.We were able to buy a number of lunches for homeless and less fortunate people. Here is Pastor Lance with Buddy (right) and Steve (left). We were able to minister the WORD to them too!We spent some time with Teri (left) and Mary (right) . They are a couple of the ladies that we work with on a regular basis.We left McDonald's and ended up having to go back after running into another homeless guy (Rick). He had not eaten for a couple days and we needed to get him taken care of. We prayed with Rick to be able to get free from alcohol and to get his life on track. The first time we came across Rick was when he had been beaten up and was laying in an alley. We thought he was dead when we saw him but he turned out to be ok and we have been able to develop a relationship with him. Please pray that Rick will get set free from alcohol. His mom lives in South Bend but will not allow him around her if he is drinking.
