Ever since Jesse inspired me a year ago to preach the gospel, , I have been trying on my own with god in Hemel, Hemel is such a hard town. I have had barely any responses but I trust that God would help me!!! It was Jesse sermon to preach if you just have a bible. I have been trying to find a job. Can you give me any ideas and prayer. Dom

I guess one could give you some tips, but really there is no better way than to just do it. You will learn as you go. Watch as many videos and listen to audios of as many street preachers as possible.
Welcome to the boards!

When Miles first began, and then we eventually joined him, I recall spending hours watching Way of the Master (WOTM). We also role-played with one another AND after he would go out on the streets we would 'debrief'. In other words, we kind of immersed ourselves in witnessing. I don't know much about o/a as I've only done it myself a handful of times. I know I mainly share my testimony, but there have been times when God has just put a burden on my heart for either a certain group of people, or a particular sin, and a corresponding part of Scripture. Last week, I shared my testimony, then rebuked all those who told us that they were Christians, but lived like they were lost. I used I Corinthians 6: 9,10 and pleaded with them not to be deceived.... It was short, but I felt I had to obey when prompted.
Keep plowing, Dom!

Last time i handed out tracks , and three police cars turned up as someone had stolen some clothes or thought they had and I did not have the guts to witness. I met some people who wanted to do the same thing. I keep meeting people who want to be out with me. I so desperatly want a team of ten for every town and city in the uk. I so want prayer for the next time I go out on Saturday and than I can witness during the week as I am not that bold person and I have been depressed. I have 5000 tracks and I want to reach the 80,000 people in hemel. I am a mess and i need Jesus I need prayer for the christian bookshop and for a job so I can get some tshirts and hoodies. I just want to rely on jesus, I need him so much !!!

Pray for me tommorow as I am going out to hand out tracks and our church is handing out tracks. I have been going through a hard time and have lost alot of weight, dangerous amounts. Pray that I do not get depressed and get a job so that I can live an integrious preaching ministry. I so want Souls saved including the people on this board. I so want also to be able to resist temptation. As there is so much Pray that I get out there and evangelise not only in my every day life but in the way that I live in every aspect from the way that I eat to everything. I want to preach so that when I get up and preach it would be the fufilling of an entire week of doing things for the Lord. I allready read my bible and listen to it and pray alot. It is the smaller things such as eating my breakfast and getting up in the morning and getting ajob Dom

it went ok, I only got to hand out tracks I realised that I should have prayed more before. During the whole day I think our town got bombarded with evangelists as I saw some other people down there. My problem is temptation as I was trying to hand out tracks and this girl just put herself in my eyeshot and when I moved she moved. I got annoyed and moved further up the street. I so wish for more persecution. I sometimes get sick of the usual temptations of girls who go past just to see. I was so tired from handing out tracks I could not even street preach. There is a guy who is a freemason whos father help invent the ethernet card. He needs saving as he gave him my email address and I am going to answer my concerns about it. I sometimes help the shops before they close such as helping to move there tables and they have been open. I normally talk about Hell and Truth as I need them both. Last week it was raining and some kids ended up helping me hand out tracks as they wanted me to have some lunch. It is very interesting being in a town which last year saw Hemel Hempstead almost destroyed since the Buncefield Fire in which our House and the Industrial Estate damaged. I sometimes feel such a failiure DOm

You sometimes feel like a failure? Put your head up! You're a warrior for Christ! ONE GOSPEL TRACT is all it takes to win one soul! Praise God!
Your feelings are real, no doubt... but sees what you DID, and you gave TRACTS; that means you DID the Will of the Father, and it's in doing His WILL that pleases Him...Praise the Lord!
God was smiling on you as you passed out tracts and moved away from the temptation.
Let God continue to use you...Amen!
In Christ,
Dan Lirette

It was an Ok week last week I was still upset. I have been reading a book by Harold Berry on different faith groups such as how to approach Muslims, Mormons and such like. I had a long talk with a man in which I talked about Purgitory I heard one quote from a preacher he said I would not rather spend one second in a frying pan let alone five minutes and laughed. Temptation was high again. Some girls actually stopped by just to stare at me and I want them to recieve Jesus. The only thing they was interested in was me and not jesus. There was a man in the local cafe shop who said he was an atheist I gave him a tract and looked at him. He kind of changed his opinion. I think all the time I feel inadequate I help the people clear up the tables and chairs of the cafes near by and someone invited me to have a free coffee but I should have gone as that would have been another soul. I have not even had the confidence to speak recently. It was the guys that damaged my heart when they spoke of hell as a party, my heart broke for them. They were a group of goths which means they basically hang around in Black clothing. There is a guy Jerry who goes to a spirtualist church and wants to come to church but never comes. Then there is a group of girls who I want to come to jesus as I see them every week. I am having trouble praying. I want so much to give the glory to the Lord next time. Thankyou for your encouragement Dan One of my friends has a saying "New Level , New Devil" I want to be on the Devils most wanted list and Heavens List. Help me Break Through and cry " I want souls" like John Hyde. I am such a mess and need Jesus

There are three categories of 'believers' in the world: (1) Those who have confidence in themselves. Such believers can be identified by the fact that they pray very little or not at all. And they usually never ever fast and pray. Although they don't say so in as many words, by their prayerlessness they testify that they can handle every situation. Such believers can never do an eternal work for God. (2) Those who have no confidence in themselves and who have no confidence in God. They confess that they have no strength or wisdom. But they do not believe that God will work on their behalf. Such believers are usually prayerless too. Even if they do pray, their prayers are invariably without faith. Such can never do an eternal work for God either. (3) Those who have no confidence in themselves, BUT who have total confidence in God. They are aware of their lack of strength and wisdom, but they also believe that God will help them mightily, and do a work in them and through them. Such believers alone are truly spiritual, and only such can do an eternal work for God. It is good for us to recognise that those in Category 2 above are just as useless to God as those in Category 1. Those in Category 2 may look more broken, but they are not - for unbelief can never be found alongside genuine Christ-like humility. Without faith it is impossible to please God, no matter how broken we may appear to be. Merely acknowledging our inability will not solve our problems. We must trust God too. To confess that we are rotten, good for nothing, useless and foolish, is not humility, but unbelief!! If we keep on confessing that, we will remain useless forever. False humility like that is often mistaken for the genuine thing by undiscerning believers! But Jesus told us to learn humility from Him (Matt.11:29). And where do we find Jesus ever confessing that He was useless and good for nothing? Never. True humility is taking the place of entire nothingness before God, so that God might be all in all. This is the place that Jesus took as a man. This is what we must do too. In that lowly place, we can trust God to do a mighty work in us and through us, and to crush Satan under our feet. by Zac Poonen (more encouraging words can be found here: www.cfcindia.com/web/mainpages/word_for_the_week.php)

Evangelism Report Have evangelised twice this week!! God bless after my interview I handed out tracks in Watford. I got caught with people trying to pick up people for claims. Such as someone who has a broken leg can claim on that injury. Till the end of the day. Bumped into a couple that evangelise all round the country and sold there house so that they could preach the gospel. The man has been in prison. He has a beard and reminds me of william booth. the high court let his loose and they did not have anything to charge him with. I got rid of a few hundread tracks that day.
Today I have been trying to convert the Harii christnas as they were handing out tracks in the exact same spot as I normally hand out tracks. It has been a fun day. Recently I have been argueing with Catholics and other people that it is by the grace of god alone we are saved. They just cannot get there mind beyond that even Muslims. The tracks that I have been handing out have been heaven or hell you choose. I wish I could give the glory to the lord

I have been evangelizing in Hemel for almost a year now. The population of Hemel is 90,000 and I think I have handed out about 15,000 tracts. Last week we had a group of people called the Revivial Church who do not believe you are saved lest you speak in tounges, I had not even done anything and they were coming down on me
Then we had a former christian guy called waz insulting me!
I have been evangelising on the trains and buses with my friend richard but I have had a big problem with money and resources to evangelise with all I need is a job as I do not want to take from other people. I have been coming very despondant with myself, I want the lord to soften my heart and I want to know what is true and what is not.
I have been wanting to send things to india and do all kinds of things but I have to praise god for where I am now.
I feel such a failiure physically, mentally and spiritually down. It is like my whole life has fallen apart.

Dom,
I'm greatly encouraged by reading about your zeal to witness, and preach, and evangelize lost people. I do hope you'll keep us updated on a regular basis.
I'm also somewhat discouraged to hear you get down on yourself. Of course we need to depend on Him, but be encouraged that we are new creatures in Christ. If Christ be for us, than no one, nothing, can be against us. I'm not telling you to believe in yourself, I'm telling you that we serve a mighty God who indwells us and works through us.
Take to heart that He is able to provide exceedingly and abundantly above all we can hope for.
If your living a humble, obedient life, than don't get down brother.
Keep in mind, that JOY is a fruit of the spirit, do you have joy?
If there's any way I can help you, PM me.
I'm excited to see what God will do with your ministry.

Sorry I have not updated in a while Recently I spoke to a christian who did not believe that Jesus was the son of God and did not believe in the trinity. Some Buddists walked by and were fasinated, I am getting a hoodie made up with the message Jesus is the way the truth and the life and on the back do not be decieved neither fornicators nor liars .... shall not inherit the kingdom of God. I really need alot of prayer at the moment as the two guys I had helping me ended up in a fight outside street evangelism and it seems the devil is having a real go. I need prayer that I do more evangelism on trains. Also I am working in the royal mail and need prayer for that.
