Outreach with AGENTS FOR CHRIST

Wednesday night fellowship at the church I attend had guest speakers from a ministry in Oaklahoma, called Agents For Christ.  Their website is here.  Bill James and his wife, Danielle, traveled to the Calvary Chapel Pastor's conference and was headed east so they stopped at our church along the way.  They shared their story and also encouraged us in the body to share thier faith.  It was a great time of getting into Romans 12 and how we can apply what Paul was teaching in the doctrines of chapters 1-11.  They wanted to test some waters in Des Moines, so we decided to take a few people out fishing in the city streets. 
Well tonight, it absolutely poured, and doing anything outside was out of the question.  So we decided to hit Valley West Mall and do some soul-winning there.  Tony, of Saving Faith Outreach came with us, along with my pastor, his son, and Ray, a member of CCDM.  We split up and did some outreach.  Tony and I teamed up together (as usual) and hit the ground running).  We decided to go to the lower level and take the elevator.  That's when a man named Angel, with his two kids entered with us.  Tony gave him a million dollar bill tract and asked him what he thought.  Turned out he was a Mormon from Chile.  The funny thing is that I sensed the Holy Spirit wanting me to take Mormon tracts specifically.  So we used one tonight.  We spent the entire time talking with this man.  He told us he used to be Catholic, then Jehovah's Witness, then 7th Day Adventist.  He was clearly searching for truth, but in all these areas have fallen short. 

We basically spent the entire time with him, and gave out only one tract.  But please pray for Angel and his family that they would come to the truth of the gospel.  We invited him to get together so we can talk more and hope that he calls to make an appointment.  The other teams did well, and had various conversations.  Jake even faced his fears and placed a tract on a bench.  Good things are happening in Des Moines.  Pray for Bill and Danielle James along with the others of Agents For Christ as well.
