SWAT TEAM Witnessing - Springfield & Branson - 6/16/06

Street Witnessing And Training
Taking Evangelism Across Missouri
Friday Night - 6/16/06 -- Park Central Square –
Downtown Springfield, Missouri

The following is from SWAT TEAM member and GNN Seed Sower, Michael Borich:

(The tracts we use can be found at Gospel Tracts: Living Waters Store.)Always an interesting time in downtown Springfield. Three police squad cars greeted us in the square when we arrived at 8 p.m. JJ, Danika and I prayed and set off to the bus station and then through the downtown area. We passed out DaVinci Code tracts, million dollar bills, some Good Person cartoon tracts and quite a few silver 10 Commandment coins. A lot of people took tracts, but no one seemed to have the time to go through more in-depth sharing.

We did spend about 30 minutes with Ed Brooks, a security guard at a parking lot adjacent to the Woodruff Building. He remembered the "friendly guy from Branson." He told us all about his stroke, heart attacks, his faith in God, his plans to serve God by ministering to immigrants, his venue for gospel music concerts that he's working on -- an interesting guy, and we ended up spending more time listening to him than we had planned. But, Praise God! another good soul to pray for.

When we reached the bus station on our second tour the buses were just leaving but we managed to get a few tracks in through the windows to people.

Back at the square the usual suspects were hanging out. JJ and Danika decided to do one more downtown circuit, so I went the opposite direction, toward the parking lot.

A somewhat weird evening, in our opinion. Maybe the presence of so many police kept things low-key and a little quite. Most of the people were on their way to clubs and restaurants, so conversation was difficult.

But we were faithful, and the Lord will bless the gospel materials that went out -- His word never returns void.

Pray for Ed Brooks.

In His Service,
Michael

Saturday Afternoon - 6/17/06
Historic Downtown Branson, Missouri

Today was overcast and raining on and off. We determined to go out and witness in Branson, rain or shine. We didn’t stay too long, but we were able to pass out the million dollar bill gospel tracts and the Giant $100 bill gospel tracts.

Since it was raining or sprinkling much of the time, folks didn’t want to stand around and have a conversation. However, we thank God for the people taking gospel tracts and they were reading them, as you can see from the pics below.











In Christ,
