LTW Update: NYC

Here is an update from the Good News team in NYC from last Sunday. They are still setting up in the subways due to weather. What passion! God bless this team as they tell others about Jesus every Sunday. I am honored to be working with them. I sent them a sign for their table reading, "Have You Heard the Good News? (John 14:6)" this week. Also, more Bibles in Spanish are on the way. They tell me the Lord is continuing to bring up people who want a Bible...

Hi Dwayna, blessings to you in the Name of the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life!!

We set up in our usual spot underneath Times Square in the subway tunnel with our usual ministry materials, including some additional donated Answers in Genesis topical booklets donated by Pastor Matthew Recker of Heritage Baptist Church here in New York City, in addition to some extra Hebrew/English and Hebrew/other languages New Testaments.

Thank goodness the weather wasn't as frigid as the previous Sunday. We were out at our location from about 2:30 P.M. or so until about 5:30 P.M. We were blessed to have our friend and new team member, Christian, volunteer again to minister and help us with handing out tracts and engaging with people, in addition to another friend, Francisco, who came to visit us. Many people took resources and, without sounding like I am being repetitive, ALL THE BIBLES WERE TAKEN!!! Praise God!!

When we were out last Sunday, we were told by the police that we would not be able to play our music, which saddened us, so this time around, Suzi graced us with some singing and also gave us a preview of a song that she is composing. I believe that we may have had some Jewish people come over to look at the Brit Chadasshah (New Testament). One man came and took various Arabic materials in addition to some of the Hebrew materials to use in his ministry to people he knows.

It was a good day!!! We were able to give out our e-mail address to some people and we also received some donations from others who wanted to bless our ministry.

We look forward to being able to continue in this ministry with ever more materials and we greatly appreciate all the donations we have been receiving from both yourself and on our end.

May God continue to pour out His mercy and favor upon His servants!!

Shalom,
Heidi

I want to add that it is also such a blessing when fellow Christians come up to the table to talk and offer encouragement, also providing us with an opportunity to share with them or inform them about the various false teachings/ practices that are so prevalent in some churches today. Some indicate having no idea while some have an awareness of it but show no real concern about it at this point. It does help to have those books from Ray Yungen, Warren Smith and Roger Oakland readily available!

To God be the glory!
