Here is our report for Thursday January 27th on Chicago and Lake in South Minneapolis.

Our Commission

To build the Kingdom of God by going to those on the streets to evangelize and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as only He can meet their needs. We call sinners to repentance and to salvation through the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Street Evangelists:Dan Rosener and Joe Berghoff,

Before we went out to the street we had intercession at Dan’s. During our worship and intercession time we received the following verses.

Matthew 5:13-15(Salt and light)

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how will it become salty again? It’s good for nothing except to be thrown away and trampled under people’s feet. 14 You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house."
And also

2 Timothy 1: 6-11 (fan into flame and stir up the gifts)

6 "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. 910 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 12 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day."
Billy Guerrero - We parked in the parking lot we usually park in on Lake and Chicago and a fellow named Billy Guerrero was just getting out of his car. We approached him and he said he was stiff and was stretching because he was stiff from driving all the way from Fargo. When we asked him if he wanted prayer for anything he said sure and asked for prayer for good health for him and his family and for peace in the world. He said he is from Cuba and his family is down there. He said he did know Jesus,so please pray for Billy and ask the Lord to bless him and his family and draw them closer to Him.
Raphael and Rosemary - we spent some time on the corner of Lake and Chicago in the spot we call "The Honey Hole". Raphael and Rosemary crossed the street toward us and when we asked them if they speak English they said "only a little". So we prayed God's blessing over them and they went on their way.
Steve and Debbie- from LivingWordChurch. They were out on the streets tonight ministering and handing out tracts. We had some good fellowship with them and they went on their way. It's always good and uplifting to see others out sharing the Lord with people when we are out on the streets.
Several people passed us by and we asked the Lord to bless them. It was not an extremely cold night out but still, people seemed more interested in getting fromPoint A to Point B and were somewhat reluctant to stop and talk.

Please remember all those we have come into contact with in the past. The Lord knows their names and their needs.

Thank you to all you wonderful brothers and sisters (Prayer Warriors). You and your prayers always go with us to witness for Jesus!! THANK YOU!!!

Our next trips to the street are:
