Today is our Holiday Stroll gospel outreach in downtown Marshalltown. We are setting up inside and out front of the Stepping Stones Bookstore on Main Street, giving away hot chocolate and over 700 holiday-themed gospel messages. It's taken Mary and myself a month of planning and effort for a 4-hour window of opportunity to present Jesus Christ yet again to our community...our Jerusalem. The weather looks good: in the low 50's and looking like 39 degrees at 8PM when we finish up. We hope for a lot of people to be out on the streets.
I confess at this point I am weary in the work, but not weary of the work, as Dwight L. Moody once said (if I'm remembering this right). Jesus Christ and His gospel are worth it, and the souls of precious men & women, boys & girls are worth it.
This is what we do. It's who we are.
We are Christians. Come join us!
