It is hard for me to "sit still" when I know that there is an opportunity to share the Gospel with the multitudes - this New Year was no exception. I can't remember the last time that I wasnt able to bring in a new year while sharing Jesus with someone - somewhere!.
This year we were in Daytona Beach preparing for the wedding that would take place the next day and heard that there was going to be a major event on Main Street in Daytona. I quickly called up Jesse "Famous" Amos and recruited him to go with me to the streets [Jesse never says no to that!]
.
When we arrived we instantly knew that the crowd was five times larger than last year's Main Street crowd - it looked like Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras with people stading shoulder to shoulder from Penninsula Blvd all the way down to Atlantic Ave.
.
We parked in our normal spot at Main & Noble and jumped into "Ground Zero" where they had the New Year's Ball Drop set up - it took less than 30 seconds for us to engaged in a witness and soon I had Jess open air preaching just beneath the ball drop. A young man, Ramseys, was drawn to us and we were able to minister at length to this 20 year old young man that came from a God-fearing family.
.
We actually plucked him off the street that night and he went to the church with us for a time of praise and worship and some personal ministry from son of the guys that were there. He is really a torutred sould - devestated both by compromise AND by the effects of the wide-gate, false religion that he has been exposed to in his life. Please keep him in your prayers - and all of those that we were able to share with that night.
