New Years Eve

I give you thanks, O Lord,

with my whole heart;

before the gods I sing your praise;
I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name
for your steadfast love
and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.

Psalm 138: 1-2

***************************************************

Last night we joined about 25 precious siblings in Christ on the streets of Richmond, VA.

The glorious news of the gospel was proclaimed over and over again through open air,

one-to-one conversations, and gospel tracts. Thousands of people were reminded of how

fragile this life is and that they will one day give an account to the Creator of the universe.

Many mocked. Some got angry. Others listened.

God was glorified!

Because we had such a large group of laborers, we were able to set up four different

preaching stations. It was great! I don't know how many times I heard someone walk

by and say to their friends, "Man, they're everywhere. Come on. It's New Year's Eve." As the time neared midnight, the crowd got much thicker and louder and hyped up. It was hard

to hear the one preaching ... so what did we do? We joined together and sang hymns to our

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace!

What a wonderful way to start the NEW YEAR.
