Street ministry is awesome!

These young people at Agape Christian Center blow me away! They are getting out of their comfort zones and reaching people in their neighborhood with the Good News.

Every church should have youngsters like these. Now I know we are here visiting during their evangelism week, but does your church have a week that you concentrate on reaching the people in your 'hood? Is your church's youth group mainly focused on getting together to have pizza and discuss the latest movie? Or are they learning skits, talking to neighbors, handing out tracts and guiding people in asking Jesus into their hearts?

For my friends who know me this may come as a surprise - I was asked to give the closing prayer. Yes I had to stand up in front of the crowd with a microphone and pray. The Lord is stretching me during this visit and what a rush! Thank you Father for your love and encouragement.

This gentleman got up at the beginning of the service and started dancing with his umbrella. Reminded me of Fred Astaire and Singing in the Rain! He stuck around, I actually think he sleeps in the park, but listened and enjoyed hearing the worship and praise.

New York is a place of so many different nationalities, languages and religions all living together. People were coming into the park to dance and worship God while others stood outside the fence. Lord may your peace and comfort reach all those around who are hurting and in need of your love.
