We are having an awesome time in Christ Jesus during our Marathon Ministry Week Fundraiser! We have ministered to somewhere around 100 people in a one on one or small group setting. It has been amazing to see the Lord answer our prayer in seeing people broken and with a repentant heart. For many it was like the Lord stopped them and their feet never moved. It was like they were frozen to listen to His Word and what life with Him could do for them. We are having many that are returning over and over!

We had a guy that pulled in just off the street and he jumped out of his van then came up and started to talk to Frank and I. We had just finished prayer and had talked about several things. This guy named Thomas started speaking everything that we had just prayed or talked about. It was like he had been hiding in the room listening to us. No doubt this was the Lord! Thomas had never stopped before. No doubt that the Lord had a call on his life. He also shared what he was struggling with and asked us for prayer.

We just had a 19 year old MS13 gang member come in. He had just got out of jail. Frank and David ministered to him then brought him for me to talk to him. I could instantly tell that he was not serious about giving his life to the Lord. We told him that we hope that he gets serious and turns to Jesus before ending up on our wall.
Angie and I ministered to a woman named Sarah who was a new prostitute on Holloway. She had been beat up by her pimp. She too acted like she wanted help but was not at the end of herself. I talked to her again and told her that the Lord was knocking at her door but she failed to answer. I told her that I pray she opens the door to him before it is too late.

Jeremy & Keasia walked down the sidewalk Sunday night and what a time of ministry we had with them! Jeremy said that he knew me from the Durham County Jail. Jeremy ended up going to Federal Prison for gun trafficking. He has a huge scar on his forehead from wear he was shot off of a motorcycle. I asked if they were living their lives for Jesus. They shared that she was pregnant at 21. They sat down and we ministered to them for around 45 minutes. We talked to them about the importance of having Christ in the center of their marriage and to bring their children up in the Lord. I shared with Jeremy that all he has been to this point is a male. I told him that it takes a man to be a husband and a dad. They were so happy when they walked off saying that they wanted my help and would be back. Praise the Lord!
Oscar is from Honduras and lives right around the corner. I have watched him change for the better. He was such a extreme alcoholic. He still drinks but nothing like he was doing. He stops in often and spends time with me. I communicate the best I can with his broken English and my little bit of Spanish. He is holding a Bible that is for his new friend, Maria! Oscar recently started joining into prayer and he will shout out hallelujah! He will get the biggest smile on his face then he always has to shake my hand. He wears a Jesus hat now because his old one was a beer hat. I hooked him up then threw his in the trash. We are believing for him to be completely set free of alcohol.
It is awesome to have Darlene Seger walking the neighborhood every morning to prepare the grounds. Darlene walks the neighborhood without fear because she knows who walks with her. She is a real blessing to the ministry!
Anthony and Maria minister to Antonio on Day 1!
Frank has been hard at it. He ministers to person after person. He is having a great time in the Lord!
The woman with the hat was in on Monday night. She has 5 kids with three "baby-daddies". Two of the three of them are on our wall (murdered). She brought her friend who also has a boyfriend on the wall. Jericho and I ministered the Word to them. One of them has a false security that she was saved because of repeating a prayer when she didn't want to. She repeated the prayer to get the person to go away but she still thought that because she prayed the prayer that she was still saved. I showed her according to scripture that she is not saved. Both of them left knowing if they were to die that they would go to hell. We prayed with them and told them that they pray that they will make a decision to follow Jesus before it is too late. We talked about the lifestyle of the three that were murdered and they said that the guys were most likely in hell. I told them that they still have breath but the others don't meaning that it is not too late. I told them if the guys could come back that they would not live the same lifestyle they lived before. If they could come back they would not be "baby-daddies", they would strive to be men of God. Both of them said with a smile that they would be back tonight!
