The following is a report from our outreach in Miami. I am actually Rev. JK (not to be confused with RevK), so bullhornbob is my name here on the boards so as to not confuse anyone.
This ministry is birthed out of a group of biblically obedient men and women who hunger to see God's will established here on the earth as it is in heaven. Our open air preaching has been consistent on South Beach and around Miami for almost 3 full years, and Micah, Doug, Manny and I are now beginning to see the full scope of what God wants in Miami, and in fact every major city from coast to coast:
Dedicated and fearless men and women of God, full of the Holy Spirit and power, preaching the gospel publicly to all, calling sinners to repentance from sin and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ, and exhorting the same to live a sin free and biblically obedient life.[/b]
Revival Open Air Mission USA – Miami Report for 10/7/06
Joining the outreach were JK, Emmanuel and myself (Evangelista). We decided to go to Coconut Grove seeing that we had a late start. JK and I are in transition right now as we sold our home and bought an RV. We will eventually go full time, traveling and preaching the Word of God throughout the United States and abroad.
As we drove to Coconut Grove, we eventually found a parking spot at around 7:30 pm and then decided to head down to Coco Walk. There were not a lot of people out there that night. JK opened and did a great job preaching the gospel of repentance, forgiveness and living a holy, biblical life to those passing by. A black couple stayed throughout the entire preach and also an older lady with a younger child stayed as JK preached. As JK continued to preach on what Jesus Christ did on the cross and how forgiveness could only be found only through Him, the black couple and the older lady attentively listened to the graceful message that was shared. JK exhorted the people to think about eternity and not only on temporary things. He also admonished them that life can only be found through Jesus Christ. Hellfire was explained to those who are not born again and were exhorted to repent of sins and put faith in Jesus Christ.
I followed JK and preached repentance and forgiveness of sins and warned the listeners to live a life that is pleasing to God and warned them of hellfire which is everlasting and admonished them to be obedient to Him. I exhorted the people that they will be judged by the Living God and give an account for their lives, everything they have done in this life. Throughout the entire night, we really did not get any hecklers.
A security guard came by, and said that he was a homosexual, and that he was offended by our t-shirts that said that abortion is murder and homosex is sin, and he told us that we were not allowed to film anybody. As I continued to preach, I told the listeners that sin will get them cast into hellfire and that they must repent of sin if they were to inherit eternal life and told them to go and sin no more. I told them to put faith in Jesus Christ and explained that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life and continued on to verses 17-20. I exhorted them to come to the Lord as they are, but when they leave, they must leave differently, they must be changed when they come to Him because they have repented of sin.
As I continued to preach, another security guard came and told JK to get the camera out of his faced, even though he was the one who came to us. He said that he has dealt with us in Miami Beach and said we were on private property and said he would call the cops because we were disturbing the peace. That was not true, as we did not have any hecklers, nobody stopped or asked us any questions. He said that he has his own beliefs and we were not allowed to tell others what to believe. He said we were not allowed to film. I continued to preach and exhorted the people that Jesus Christ can change their hearts and make them different and exclaimed that they are not guaranteed another day, but to repent today while they have an opportunity.
The security guard called the cops and as we waited for the cops to come, Emmanuel then preached. Emmanuel stated how people were judgmental and condemning towards Christians. Emmanuel said that sin was breaking God’s law and that sin is lawlessness and that God commands all men everywhere to repent because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. He will judge the world according to the Ten Commandments. He exhorted people to repent and do works meet for repentance. To humble themselves before God that He may exalt them. Emmanuel did a good job preaching to the people and some boys passed by who were Jewish and as Emmanuel began talking to them, the black man who was watching all the three of us preach shook Emmanuel’s hand and as the cops arrived, they told us to stop filming them and to turn off the camera. JK turned off the camera and one of the officers told JK that we were on private property and that we needed to move across the street or pass a certain restaurant that was nearby. We decided to move across the street and I began to lift up my voice and exhorted the people to repent and put their complete trust in Jesus Christ and made other exhortations to the people.
We finally left Coconut Grove at approximately 9:15 pm. and headed to Denny’s and had a great time of food and fellowship.
