| First Time Open-Air- and after | | Hello!
Please pray for me. I am open-air preaching for the first time this Saturday night. I have been going down to a place in Fayetteville, Arkansas called Dickson Street. Dickson Street is filled with bars and clubs. A few of us from my church have been going down there faithfully for about 2 months. God has been moving on me to open-air preach. This Saturday there is a college football game in Fayetteville and Dickson Street will be packed with people. I'm very excited about it!!

Online! | Re: | | Brother,
Fear not but confort this generation of wickedness with the light and truth of the Gospel. Preach from a burdened heart, pray for that burden. Please do share some testimonies from the open air preaching afterwards dear brother. _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

| Re: | | Hi PreachParsley...!
This is soooooo exciting! I pray that God will use you to "break up the fallowed ground" in the hearts of those who hear your voice. Please share with us your feelings and experiences afterward. I am certain that many in this SermonIndex fellowship will be praying for you and those to whom you are sent. Be strong and of good courage!
:-)

| Re: | | This weekend we went out to Dickson Street. Friday night we handed out several Gospel tracts and had the opportunity to speak to some one-to-one.
Saturday I went out to open-air preach. We got out there and spoke to one guy(one-to-one) for about 20 mins or so. He had a very foggy imagination of what God desires. He told me I was a sinner because the car I drive isn't efficient. God is much more concerned with your soul than he is this world, which will burn. We started asking simple trivia questions to draw a crowd and when someone would get a question right we would give them money. We had about 3-5 people gather and listen. Then I started saying to people "who wants some money? Come and get it here it is!" No one would come and take it. I wasn't even going to ask questions. It would have just been theirs if they would have came and got it. Then I begin to preach about pride. People are so proud that they don't want others to think that they need money. We never got much of a crowd but there were some seeds planted I'm sure. There were people driving by with their windows down and you could tell they thought I was a mad-man. After this we just went to do some one-to-one and hand out tracts.
Even though some may think it looked like a failure, true success comes in obedience not number. We are going out next week and doing the same thing. We will probably move to a different part of the street and I am going to try to get an easel and get a sign.. I think that will give people another reason to stop.
