Mariners Outreach April 27-29

Mariners Outreach Update

We will be going out this weekend April 27-29. Please see below Mariners calendar for details. We will be meeting 1.5-2 hours earlier as people come to the park very early. Contact us as we need to know how many tracts to bring & to confirm the meeting place. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog.

Please keep praying that God would send laborers to the harvest field. It's souls, it's all about Jesus & what He came and He died for. God Bless all of you.

Matthew 9:36-38 (NKJV)
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

Day And Night

1 Thessalonians 5:5
You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I love these pictures of downtown Seattle. It's the same shot. Day & Night. It can be so beautiful here in Seattle but also very dark. Dark describes the spiritual state of Seattle because we live in the most unchurched city in the most unchurched state. I heard that there are more dogs in Seattle than evangelical Christians. Hmmmmm ...... perhaps we should start evangelizing dogs in hopes that they will convert their owners? Too bad it doesn't work that way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle is a big city. Include the surrounding area's and it's downright huge. Its kind of scary to share the Gospel in Seattle. But it's also very exciting because it's virtually untapped. We have the best news of all & it's such a privilege to be able to deliver it. Not everyone is receptive to the Gospel but it's amazing how many people have never heard it before & it cuts to their heart because they know that it strikes truth. That is the power of God.

Hebrews 4:12 (New King James Version)
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer is coming & with it are a lot of events & festivals. We can't cover them all & the games but included at the bottom of every blog until the end of the summer will be a schedule of "fishing" spots from April to September 2007 that we may be hitting. Or grab your tracts and get out there! Please go in at least 2's as we were appointed, or join us.

Luke 10:1
After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

There will be some special events/festivals coming up & we will be making up some special tracts. We'll keep you posted on that. If you'd like to join us, we'd be privileged to partner with you. You can email us for details of where we will be going at: jesus@cablespeed.com

Most of all, we ask for your prayers that God would send laborers to the harvest field. It's souls, it's all about Jesus & what He came and He died for. God Bless all of you.

Matthew 9:36-38 (NKJV)
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

Take me out to the Ball Game!

Mariners Game Report - April 13-15/2007

"GO". I'm talking about The Great Commission. That's why this blog is called "God Adventures". It takes Guts (yours) & Glory (His). Because it's ALL about Him.

Here is the weekend report. The schedule tracts for the Mariners game are finally in! Everyone tracted an average of 300-500 tracts per seed sower! Do I hear a "Praise God" out there somewhere?!! Very few of them were tossed away when we left the stadium and I'm pretty sure that most of these tracts will still be with people for several months because the Mariners Schedule is in the tract. We all had a wonderful time with a lot of good reports.

There are several incidents worth mentioning & recognizing. They show what a BIG God we serve and how He will make a way if you are obedient to do what He asked us to do.

Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations ... teaching them to observe all that I commanded you ....". It's the last thing He asked us to do before He ascended to Heaven.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Over the weekend approximately 4300-4500 tracts were passed out and I think only a few angry responses. Pretty good for 1.5 hours at each game.

2. Tract everyone. I mean EVERYONE. One seed sower tracted one of the vendors (but didn't know she was a vendor until later) who asked if she could take some back INTO the stadium in case anyone wanted any tracts. Can she take some to take inside the stadium?!! Oh yeah!!

3. One of the seed sowers noticed a camera crew there for FSN (local subsidiary of Fox Sports News). Nervously, she walked away from the director & camera man. Then directed by the Holy Spirit, she turned back and obediently tracted them both. The director looked at the schedule & asked if it was from the Mariners organization. She replied, "no, but to read the back of the schedule". To her horror, they did read it - right away! You know that feeling, don't you?! ;-P Then the most unbelievable thing happened - they asked her for an interview to explain it on camera! The seed sower was overjoyed yet naseous at the same time. But another fellow seed sower spoke on camera to share the gospel (brilliantly) in a short amount of time. This shows the importance of being prepared, having a gospel presentation ready. What would you have done?

Afterwards she was speaking to the crew & found out that they were Christians & talked to them about the Gospel and salvation. A special shout-out to John (director) & Nick (cameraman) for filming footage & allowing us to speak about God's redemptive plan to potentially thousands of people watching at home. Now that's a BIG God!
