Our team setting up the table
Here is Eileen, a member of our team who takes photos most of the time while praying for Mike and Dan as they speak to people who approach the table. Because of her photography, she is not in many of the photos. This ministry would not be the same without Eileen and her administrative and organizational skills. We never had photos to share before Eileen joined us. She has such a sweet spirit and shows love to everyone who approaches the table.

We have something for everyone, and all materials are free. We focus on materials for people involved in occult spirituality at this location.
People approach, and as materials are offered for free, people are invited to stay and hear answers based on the Bible about their spirituality. We have materials for children, atheists, New Agers, witches, Hindus and Buddhists.
When the ministry began, I had memorized some Bible verses I loved to share with people about the depravity of people apart from God's grace. I would offer them a seat, just like the psychics have an extra chair, inviting people to sit with me;
however, instead of reading someone's palms or offering tarot card readings, I would read the person what the Bible says about salvation.
God has continued our work of evangelism at Venice Beach since this outreach of apologetics began in 2002. 
Now the ministry is led by Mike, Eileen and Dan.
Dan walked over to the neighboring vendor to have a discussion about magic and read him what the Bible teaches about salvation...
We have a sign reading, "Come find out what God has to say about your future for free," as we are neighboring psychics along Ocean Front Walk.
People are surprised at the anomalous Christian table on the boardwalk, offering free Bibles and the free gift of forgiveness of sin through Jesus. 
"Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Come buy wine and milk without money and without cost...
Incline your ear and come to Me. 
Listen that you may live...
Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. 
Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, 
and He will have compassion on him...'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,' declares the Lord.
'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. 
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth. It shall not return to Me empty without accomplishing what I desire.'" (Isaiah 55)
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) 
"God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead." (Acts 17:30-31) 
"For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not as a result of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
"Therefore, from now on, we recognize no man according to the flesh...therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away; behold new things have come." (2 Corinthians 5:16-17)

------------------------------------------------------
Here is a list of prayer requests and summaries from the witnessing team at Venice Beach (Eileen, Mike and Dan):
Eddie and Maria -- Eddie is a teacher. He took from the table two DVDs: Unlocking the Mystery of Life and They Sold Their Souls To the Rock 'n Roll. He said he plans to show these two DVDs to his students.
Lizbeth -- she is a Christian from Denmark who came to California for vacation. We had a brief talk about how people in Denmark have a Christian tradition, but they have a lot of their own personal views into their Christianity, and they don't have a relationship with the Lord. We gave her the DVD, Unlocking the Mystery of Life, to bring back to Denmark.
Polo -- he's a young Jewish guy from New York. He set up the table beside our table to sell magic. When I only happened to walk beside his table, I overheard him asking a lady if she wanted to see some magic. We prayed for him silently. Eventually, Dan read to him from Romans 7.
Manuel – he rode by to look at our materials. I told him to take anything that interested him. I told him that we had a Hebrew/English New Testament somewhere. He asked whether he could have it, and I was hesitant. When I handed him the Hebrew Bible he was so happy and said he had always wanted one, and the Lord had given him the desire of his heart. I told him that the Lord would probably use him to witness to someone who reads Hebrew.
We talked to a man (didn't get his name) who asked Dan and me about religion in general. He asked if we were "born again Christians," and Dan told him we were. He saw the "Joseph Smith" DVD and asked about it. Dan explained that the DVD points out the errors of Mormonism. The man asked about Islam and then mentioned that the Quran described Allah as the greatest of all believers. He then asked about Catholicism, and I said that I believe there are some in the Catholic Church who are saved because they accept God's gift of salvation by faith apart from works but that is the only way for salvation. He asked how I could tell whether someone was saved. I told him I personally cannot tell because I cannot see the person's heart, but God can. He asked about Ecklant Tolle's book, and I said he advocated self-reliance, and I explained that if there were any other way to be saved but through Jesus, He would have never had to die.
A young guy stopped by asking about the rapture and the thousand year reign, and we had an interesting discussion on what the Bible teaches about end times.
Darren -- he was wearing a pirate hat. We gave him a "Joseph Smith" DVD (exposing Mormonism).
Malik and Minnie -- Malik is a seven year old boy accompanied by his mother. Malik saw the sign and wanted a free gift; Eileen and I were desperately looking for children's materials, and we found "The Family Cat" and another children's tract about friendship and one about children's Bible questions. As I was giving these to him, he asked whether he could have a baseball cap. He pointed to a blue cap next to one of the boxes. I picked it up and saw that it said "No Weapon Formed Against Me Shall Prosper." (We had no idea we even had it.) I gave it to him, and he and Minnie were very pleased that they had stopped by.
Moe -- he is Persian who used to own a bookstore. He was carrying with him a Bible (I suspect he was Muslim; his name may have stood for Mohammed). He said it was easy for everyone to believe there is one God, but it's hard to believe God is inside of us. I told him first something has to happen -- God cannot have fellowship with sin, so Jesus had to mediate. One God and one mediator between God and man -- the man, Jesus Christ. He said, "Yes," but only repeated his first statement... he spoke for a few minutes with us before moving on.
A man stopped by with his dog -- I gave him the book exposing Hinduism and Si Baba, Avatar Of the Night. I told him a little about the book, Running Against the Wind, which caught his eye. He was surprised we were giving away free stuff.
Many Christians stop by to talk to us.
John -- He said he is Christian. I am not sure if he is homeless. He stopped by to talk to us. He was reading Michael Drosnin's Bible Code book. He stayed for over an hour. He talked to Dan a long time.
A couple stopped to talk to us about Kabbalah. I'm not too familiar with it, so I just asked questions. The guy said, "It's all in the Bible, if you read it right." He spent 10 minutes talking about Egyptian history and how all the religions are teaching the same thing in different ways. I pointed out that they contradict Christianity, and they are all false or one is true. I asked him about Jesus being the way the truth and the life and the only One to the Father. He said something about "life" that is in everyone, etc. I asked him about the wrath of God and quoted John 3:36. He said that it meant that those who are in error will have difficulty because they are ignorant of the enlightenment. I kept pressing him on the idea that there is eternal punishment for sin, and we cannot save ourselves.
