The team consisted of Anthony Woodard, Crystal and Travis Jackson and Kenny Tyson from East Point Church, sharing the Gospel of Jesus and offering free materials to anyone approaching the table in the pagan environment of Little Five Points...

LTW Update: NEW TABLE OUTREACH BEGINS AT ANGOLA SPRING RODEO

Wayne Guidry led our first table outreach at the Angola Spring Rodeo in Angola, Louisiana, April 16-17. Wayne got saved after becoming an inmate, and it was his idea to lead the outreach of evangelism at the spring rodeo to let others know what Jesus has done in his life. Like Jesus died and was raised to everlasting life, He gives people newness of life--every bit as much of a miracle as the resurrection!

"This mountain was destined to be a place of sacrifice. Did you know that the death of the Savior occured on the same mountain where Abraham was led by God to sacrifice his only son? (see Genesis 22)? Do you think all of this happened by chance? No! It's all a part of the plan of grace from the hands of a holy and loving God.

There are three crosses. Originally the crosses were for three thieves, the two thieves whom now we know were crucified, and Barabbas. Jesus' cross was Barabbas' cross. Jesus died in his place. Jesus died in your place and in my place. The just for the unjust."

[Adrian Rogers, Why the Cross?, 8]

Therefore, when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, "Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas or Jesus, which is called the Christ?" For he knew that for envy they had delivered Him. When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just Man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of Him." But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said unto them, "Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you?" They said, "Barabbas." Pilate saith unto them, "What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called the Christ?" They all said unto him, "Let Him be crucified." And the governor said, "Why? What evil hath He done?" But they cried out the more saying, "Let Him be crucified." When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it." Then answered all the people, and [they] said, "His blood be on us and our children." (Matthew 27:17-25)

At three o'clock in the afternoon the priests lifted the chins of those Passover lambs and drew their knives to kill their substitution. And over on the Mount of Calvary, Roman soldiers nailed the perfect Lamb of God to the cross as THE substitute.
