LTW Update: Friday Night in West Hollywood

These captions come from our team member, Eileen. Our witnessing team this weekend in West Hollywood consisted of Mike, Eileen, Dan, and Joe...These photos and summaries are from Friday night, August 28th.
The people in the picture might seem small, but this is just to show an overview of the whole ministry scene tonight--that is, Dan, Mike & Joe sharing the gospel on the left, while the 'Free-Huggers' stand in the corner to attract people passing on the right. There were definitely a lot of people on our side of the block.
Here is a photo of our team sharing the gospel and God's love to these guys....
As our team continues to minister the word, the "Free Huggers" group suddenly dropped by to take post at the corner beside us to offer "free hugs" to people passing. Joe, a member of our team, momentarily said hello to the "Free-Huggers", then he went back to continue his Bible-sharing with the Muslim guy.
Dan and this guy were getting deep into the topic of relationships. Dan continues to help the guy see relationships in God's light, which is based on love, purity, etc.
As I was taking this pic, I overheard Dan getting indepth into a discussion about relationships with this guy. The man was giving his secular views about relationships, while Dan was showing him God's view.
More pics of Dan & Joe furthering the gospel...
Dan showing the books and testimonies on CD to another man God led up to our table
Here's our team - Dan, Mike & Joe - completely engaged in sharing the word of God. Dan is focused on the guy at the table, while Mike & Joe are both sharing with the Muslim guy on the left wall side.
Joe reading the Bible to man, sharing with him how to be saved...
Joe sharing to the same guy who stopped by earlier for directions. They are having a deep spiritual discussion.... The young man is a professing Muslim.
Joe shares Jesus with this man who approached our table asking for directions. But our group pointed him out to a better direction, which is toward Jesus as Savior and Lord. (Dan wrote later that the man prayed to receive Christ as Savior!)
Here's a picture of a cross dresser who was visiting from out of town. He was interestingly excited to see us sharing the gospel, as he looked over everything on our table...
Here's a pic of Dan & Joe sharing with a guy who happened to stop by the table, asking what we were selling. Dan & Joe told him that our materials are for free, and it's about a Christian perspective....and offered him the "free gift" of salvation at our "Heart for Him" table.

Here is a text I received from Dan Hubbard, the ministry leader, at the end of their witnessing time:

Hi Dwayna, it's 2:42am Sat. morning, and I just got in from West Hollywood. Thank everyone who's been praying for us, because we had a fantastic night of ministry with great conversations and people asking for prayer.

One man, visiting from Austrailia, said he struggles with same sex attraction and was on his way to one of the gay night clubs across and down the street; he said it was very popular with the Hollywood stars; he and I talked for well over an hour. When he left he thanked us for our ministry and was glad he did not go to the club . He also took one of our new books on Sexual Integrity. He asked we not take his photo.

Also, a young man professing Islam, prayed to receive Christ tonight.
We talked to many more! It was great.

For God's glory,

Dan
