Dear Saints,
A quick disclaimer: When I say “Saints,” I mean it in the New Testament sense, and I’m not referring to the Football Team, the New Orleans Saints.
Anyone who knows me at all knows that I love Jesus, I love sharing Jesus with the Lost, and I love the New England Patriots! So I’m so so so excited that they won the Superbowl because it means that my team and I got a SUPERB Evangelism Opportunity! The City of Boston had a Parade for the Patriots and ONE MILLION PEOPLE showed up!!!
A Million People all showing up within a few hours of each other meant lots of traffic, TONS of people on public transportation, and TONS AND TONS of people to talk to and give gospel tracts to!
In just a few hours, we gave out over 6,000 gospel tracts!!!
Just imagine if only a small percentage of those got read. 6,000 in a few hours! I have to believe that God will bring many people to faith and repentance because the gospel “is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).
It was a cold cold day. It snowed, and then rained, and then hailed, and then snowed again. We were very cold, but it was so worth it!
I’ll let the photos tell much of the story…
When we got to the Train Station, this was the only parking spot we could find. Chris and Wes used my dolly (for the tracts) as a make-shift shovel to make a parking spot for my car! WOW!
Once we squeezed my car into the teensy parking spot, I had to climb out the window over a snow bank to get out!!!
We were packed pretty tightly on the train in to the city!
As you can tell, there were loads and loads of people!!!
An Evangelist's dream: Lots and lots of people were traveling through our intersection for hours!
John handing out gospel tracts. You can see the snow coming down.
The Police looking out for everyone's safety.
This is Daniel, a polite young man who thought that you have to earn your way to Heaven by being good and hoping for the best. Wayne is patiently bringing him through the gospel of grace.
John had a conversation with a man who was selling balloon animals at the parade. He claimed to be a Christian but told John not to share his faith with people. How can you possibly know the cure for mankind's biggest problem (sin) and not share it with people???
We love you and thank Jesus for you!
Thank you so much for your prayers, financial support, and notes of encouragement, without which we would not be able to reach the Lost for Jesus Christ!
Please contact us anytime and let us know how we can pray for you!
And please feel free to forward this to anyone you think would be blessed by it!
For Christ and His gospel,
Mark, Shelby, Vivienne, Juliana, Caleb, and Gabriella
P.S. Let’s pray that the Patriots win the Superbowl again next year so we can do this again!!! 🙂
