TRIP TO ASSIST RAVEN GULF COAST

We started in the city of Thibodaux, Louisiana. There was scattered destruction from Gustav and the tornadoes that went through the area.Many people in the area do not have much to begin with.Stacks of brush lined the roads.............We fed the people red beans & rice and.............................of course, grilled cheese sandwiches.We worked out of Bob & Bonnies food trailer which was very nice.Bob & Bonnie worked very hard preparing the red beans & rice non-stop for two days.We worked very close with the people of our military while in Thibodaux. They were a real blessing the people.Sabrina & Larry prepare drinks..........................
Pastor Don's new trailer tells it all "JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY"!!!!Toward the end of the day the military started loading water and ice on our flatbed to take to Golden Meadows, Louisiana. We were told that they did not have water and ice there and were expected to be without power for weeks.Pastor Don secures things and shows that there is ony ONE WAY!!

We were just about had the caravan ready to head for Golden Meadow. We had police escorts for this run. Pastor Don with the Police Chief of Golden Meadow who provided the escort. The chief is a Christian and was very touched by Pastor Don's testimony. He said "you don't need a hurrican to return here". The people of Golden Meadow were very thankful to us. They welcomed us to return to their city whenever we wanted and they would do anything they could for us. The mayor told me to call first and that he would cook up all the shrimp we could eat. This town is located right on the bayou.We set up right in the parking lot of city hall.

This little town is very beautiful with all the boats lining the bayou.
Please pray for these people because one thing they did not need was more rain and winds which they received from Hurricane Ike. Pray also for all of those who were affected by Ike.

Daytona Saturday Nights...............

Many eyes dropped to looking at the sidewalk as they looked at this sign. How true this Word is! Did Jesus died on the cross so that people could spit in His face with the lifestyle they live????????
With around 98% of the people professing to be Christians I had this sign made. There is no difference in the way a prostitute dresses and the way the women that hang out at the clubs that call themselves Christians dress. The two signs will be very effective on Friday nights and then at "Ladies Night" on Wednesday's at Razzle's.
This young man was a mess!! He tried to twist and turn the Bible to justify (just-a-lie) his sin. After Pastor Craig told him the "TRUTH" he then came to me and tried to get me to agree with him. I asked him "what version did you get that mess out of"? He said "I did not get it out of any version. I then told him that I thought he was getting it from the "book of per-version". I never did get his name but think that it may have been "John Wayne" because he told the young lady to hold his hat while he "kicked my __". He came over and got in my face started leaning against me saying that I called him a pervert. I told him that this was not the first time I had been threatened and that like everyone else he was not going to do anything either. I then told him that I did not call him a pervert but that he was perverting the Gospel in attempt to fit his sin. He ended up cussing me out and walking away. I am sure that his girlfriend will remind him of some of the things that he did and said when he comes out his intoxicated state. She was very embarrassed by his performance.
Psalms 56:5 All day long they pervert my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Galatians 1:7 but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.
2Peter 3:16 which the unlearned and unstable pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
You can look at PT's face and tell how this conversation is going.
This was awesome!! Here Troy Morris stop a future bride and her matrons that were out for a bachelorette party. He starts ministering to them...................
Now the future bride takes the Bible and starts reading it out loud............
Then PT gets involved...................After more than an hour and the future groom and his friends coming up everyone went into prayer. Many lives were affected for Jesus!!!!! Deb has been building a relationship with the young man in the middle. He is one that is very nice and respectful but he has been exposed to many worldly things that have his mind twisted. Hopefully he will continue to seek the truth and get his life on track.PT ministered to this young guy that professed to be a Christian but when exposed to the Word became irritated that he could not do the things of the world and still be a Christian.
James 4:4 Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Enmity
EN'MITY, n.
1. The quality of being an enemy; the opposite of friendship; ill will; hatred; unfriendly dispositions; malevolence. It expresses more than aversion and less than malice,and differs from displeasure in denoting a fixed or rooted hatred, whereas displeasure is more transient.
2. A state of opposition.

Romans 8:5 For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace 7 because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be. 8 So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT..........This woman walked up to us at closing time and started telling PT how her and her husband have been saved for two years and that she had friends that came into town for the weekend. They wanted to go out and she had talked to her husband and he said that he would not compromise on his walk with the Lord. She weeped and repented for what she had done tonight. She said that before she went in she noticed the cross and felt conviction come over her. PT prays for her while she continues to weep and repent of her sin. She said that she knew her husband was also at home praying for her and look at what happened. Keep in mind, we did not go to her. She came to us and that is what made this so awesome!!Troy prays over a guy at closing time.
There are so many special things that the Lord does and shows us that makes it so worth it to go and minister His Word.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!

DAYTONA FRIDAY NIGHTS..............

It was another wild & wacky Friday night on the streets of Daytona Beach.

We used the rapper sign again just because they will get so many people to stop. Then we can talk to them about their relationship with Jesus.

As I have said before, this foul rap is ruining so many of today's youth and still have many adults messed up too!! PT ministers to a young man that had two crosses hanging from his neck but was very "of the world".

The guy on the left was brought up Catholic. He has crossed the teams path several times in the past month. He is a very nice guy with a very strong love for his family. He is mad at God because his "devout Catholic" grandmother died of cancer at 59 years old. I talked to him about that and told him that he was not to blame God. He has a number of loves that he puts before Jesus not even including his sin. The top two are his family and the Catholic religion. He said if he goes to hell, then he goes to hell but those two come first.

JESUS SAID IN Matthew 10:37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

This man is in "eternal trouble" if he doesn't repent and get right with the Lord. The other guy in the picture was Episcopalian when he first walked up then he turned into Agnostic. This was the "highlight of the night"!! This young man crossed the street and walked straight up to me and the cross. I asked him "when he was going to start living his life for the Lord"? He immediately was very emotional and stirred. He said "I don't want to talk about this now" as he started to weep. He stepped back off the sidewalk and started sharing with PT how his life was a mess and that he was going to get a divorce. He spent at least 2 hours with us and PT ended up taking him home and now he will be getting with this guy and his wife for counseling. The young man is also messed up because his dad was a pastor and has since fell into the world. We thank the Lord that he has made us the "divine appointment" for people like this young man. We thank the Lord that he has put us in the right place to be able to make a difference in people's lives.Deb has been faithful in showing up on the streets.
Troy ministers to a young lady.
This is what happens at the end of the night. The squad cars get behind the people and then they herd the people like cattle away from the clubs and toward the parking lot. This is a very good time to minister to the masses.

WE WILL BE BACK OUT TOMORROW NIGHT!!

R.A.V.E.N. Daytona Beach "Produce Ministry"

Troy Morris and I got a call from Watson's Produce today and went and picked up a load to distribute. We had somewhere around 700-800 pounds of potatoes. It was awesome to go into a low income neighborhood and see the joy from people as they received a 50 lb. bag.
Bags and bags of taters!!
This fruit was cold from the cooler and with the near 100 degree heat index people were grabbing the fruit and eating it on the spot.
More potatoes!! All of this opens the door to build relationships and to be able to share the gospel with people. We have several homes in different areas where we can go into the house now. We have people that tell us that they do not have groceries. We also were able to give them green peppers, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, strawberries, mushrooms and cabbage. This was Troy's first time on the Produce Ministry and he loved it!! We thank Watson's for making this ministry possible.
