In Mid-October while conducting our Raven Street Church –Bourbon Street Chapel services we were suddenly attacked by a man who knocked our cross into the street. I was able to subdue the man in an effort to keep him from committing any additional acts of violence.
.
An off-duty police officer arrived and told me to let the man go [I had him restrained from behind]. As soon as I let him go he began to attack people in the crowd—one of whom, struck him and knocked him out! His head violently hit the pavement and an ambulance was called.
.
The attackers girlfriend would also attack Melanie—punching her in the face and chest! Melanie was fine, but the attacker was carried away in serious condition and the man that struck him was apprehended.
.
The bottom line is that Satan just does not want his territory invaded with the Gospel! We are seeing souls saved and he is doing whatever he can to discourage us from “Taking the Good News Into Bad Place” - We have no plans to stop!
JAMES [pictured above] is just one of the reasons that we go. He approached the Cross just recently and said, I am depressed and I think of committing suicide every singe day. I need help.”

As we prayed for him, the woman [seen handcuffed on the ground in the picture to the right] came out of nowhere yelling, “Satan is Here!” and began to push the Cross and punch and kick James!

She was arrested and we went with James to his home where an hour later he cried out to the Lord Jesus in repentance and received Christ as his savior!

We are willing to take the GOOD NEWS into the BAD PLACES because their are SOULS at stake and the only way that they will have a chance to know Jesus is if someone sees the need and actually goes to where the lost and hurting are.
.
Will you consider helping us to CONTINUE GOING? There are a lost more young men like "James" needing someone to answer the call.
