Daytona Beach Outreach

Our weekly Beach Outreach here in Daytona continues to be a powerful night of ministry as we see the hand of Jesus touching so many lives. This past wek we were blessed to have some reinforcements in from Texas-- Meredith Lindsey and Jim Snead had driven all the way here from Fairfield, Texas to spend a few days with us and were a tremendous blessing to have.

It is amazing to see how God still uses "loaves and fishes" to minister to the multitudes. This past week we once again took one of our favorites out (this must come from our time spent in New Orleans!) red beans & rice with sausage! That and the Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper are always a big hit on the boardwalk.

On this particular evening it was non-stop ministry as Melanie and Kayla manned the food table, allowing me and the guys to minister to the constant flow on people coming by. They come from every walk of life and from every situation imaginable---they come for the food--but they are also drawn by the presence of the Lord Jesus.

We have been so blessed to find people open to the Word of God and to ministry and prayer as we go out. We are seeing people come out just because they know we will be there! We are seeing people come and kneel right there on the sidewalk and ask Jesus to come into their lives.

Thank all of you who pray for us regularly as we "take Jesus to the streets." If you have been praying about the right time sow financially into this ministry--this would be a great time! It typically costs us about $100 per week to finance just the Saturday night outreach. Yet--that is such a small investment when you consider the lives that are being changed and the souls that are being saved! Would you consider sponsoring a night or even 1/2 a night?

Raven Midwest Making News in Indiana

Pastor Terry Shuff is seen here cooking for the hundreds of people who came out to the Raven Block Party and Outreach this past Saturday in Elkhart, Indiana. With hundreds of sausages, hot dogs and grilled cheese being served--no one went away hungry--and they got the REAL MEAL as well (The Word of God).

Pastor Terry is regularly leading streets teams into the surrounding areas of Northern Indiana, Southern Illinois, and Southern Michigan. He is connecting with local churches and hosting events on their properties to encourage them to "get outside of the four walls" and into the streets of their neigborhoods with the message and love of Jesus Christ.

We are blessed and excited as to how God is using this servant to provide outstanding leadership to our MidWest Team! May the Lord Jesus bless, propser and anoint you my friend for your heart of compassion and willingness to sacrifice for the commission that the Holy Spirit has entrusted you with!

COMING SOON: EXCERPTS FROM

REMEMBERING 9/11

Seeing all the images on the news stations and observing the advertisements for all of the associated with motion pictures, television movies, and docu-dramas made me stop and reflect on the actions that changed the face of a city, a nation and in reality the world just five years ago.

I have sat and drank coffee at Starbuck's just a short subway ride from Ground Zero with my friend, Steve Ignowski (above) I have witnessed in the area and prayed with people to receive Jesus as Savior with my daughter, Kayla (above).

Seeing the images of the towers burning on television, I remembered how they once dominated the NYC skyline when I first went to witness there with my friend, Bobby Chance, years ago and met David Odel (above) as we shared Jesus in the Cherry Street projects just a short walking distance from the Twin Towers. I remember when I took my daughter Kayla with me on outreach to NYC and she snapped a picture of me on the Staten Island ferry with Manhattan Island over my shoulder---and knowing that the Twin Towers and nearly 3,000 lives would never again grace the lens of another camera.

I remember taking the first "Boys are Back In Town" outreach team (above) to New York City this past year and seeing the expressions on these men's faces as we walked towards the ominous hole in the ground once occupied by the cities talelst structures. I remember praying with Eian (above) from Tel Aviv, Israel who had just made his frist visit to NYC and I remember taking my son, Jered with me to the city several years ago to minister.

I remember standing in from of the Ground Zero location with my nephews, Justin Bohn and Brandon Romero (above) and having the cross-shaped steel girder that served as a reminder in those desperate hours following the terrorist attack--that Jesus was our only hope against the true terrorist--satan.

Over the years we had many people come to Jesus Christ on the streets of New York City. Many other street ministries and evangelist can give testimony of the same truth. I wonder to myself--had any of the thousands that perished that dreadful day prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior because someone took the time to venture beyond their comfort zones and tell them about the only way to obtain eternal life?

We go. It's worth it.

If you will keep supporting the outreach and evangelism efforts of Raven Ministries International we will continue to "Go and tell" all the world that Jesus still saves!

Blessings,

Pastor Troy D. Bohn
