Quotes (104)

A brother had better accompany you in your earlier ministries, that one may watch while the other prays. If a number of friends will go with you and make a ring around you it will be a great acquisition, and if these can sing it will be still further helpful. The friendly company will attract others, will help to secure order, and will do good service by sounding forth sermons in song.
— Charles Spurgeon

Ambassador’s Academy #9 (Part 4)

Yeah...

Ever have one of those nights where as soon as your head hits the pillow you’re out and the next thing you know the alarm is blaring?  Yet when you wake up you almost feel ready to go. That’s how it was. After a day that went by in minutes, and sleep that went by in seconds, it was time for another day of evangelism. This day would be Huntington Beach. This day, would be an interesting one.

Ambassador’s Academy #9 (Part 3)

Yeah...

The sun shines bright and warm in Southern California. The sidewalk on Hollywood Blvd did nothing but reflect the sun back up to us. So after five hours of that we all had a fair amount of vitamin D coursing through our veins. We also had something else, a boldness, a courage, and a love for the lost. We’d seen countenances changes, we’d seen and heard the derision of the enemy’s foot-soldiers. Many were hungry having forgotten to eat. But they echoed by their actions the words of Christ, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

“You’d do more good if you gave us some bread or a drop of beer instead of them tracts,” is constantly remarked, but a manly manner, and the outspoken declaration that you seek no wages but their good, will silence that stale objection.

Ambassador’s Academy #9 (Part 2)

Yeah...

After that full day of classes we were pumped, but nervous. It was a blessing to hear that such fear never really goes away, it just gets used better. So how did we do day one?

Ambassador’s Academy #9 (Part 1)

Well… It has indeed been an exciting time. The entire experience was a blessing and I met a whole new family. I’m sad to say I didn’t take that many pictures but I was busy doing some other important things. You know… witnessing, handing out tracts, even spending some time on a box. I’ll post my experiences in two parts… Here’s Part 1

Quotes (102)

I am somewhat pleased when I occasionally hear of a brother’s being locked up by the police, for it does him good, and it does the people good also. It is a fine sight to see the minister of the gospel marched off by the servant of the law! … The vilest of mankind respect a man who gets into trouble in order to do them good, and if they see unfair opposition excited they grow quite zealous in the man’s defence.
— Charles Spurgeon

Quotes (101)

In raising a new interest, and in mission operations, out of door services are a main agency. Get the people to listen outside that they may by-and-by worship inside. You want no pulpit, a chair will do, or the kerb of the road. The less formality the better, and if you begin by merely talking to the two or three around you and make in pretence of sermonizing you will do well. More good may be done by personal talk to one that by a rhetorical address to fifty. Do not purposely interfere with the thoroughfare, but if the crowd should accumulate, do not hasten away in sheer fright: the policeman will let you know soon enough.
— Charles Spurgeon

Quotes (100)

Where would the Reformation have been if its great preachers had confined themselves to churches and cathedrals? How would the common people have become indoctrinated with the gospel had it not been for those far wandering evangelists, the colporteurs, and those daring innovators who found a pulpit on every heap of stones, and an audience chamber in every open space near the abodes of men?
— Charles Spurgeon

No sort of defense is needed for preaching out of doors; but it would need very potent arguments to prove that a man had done his duty who has never preached beyond the walls of his meeting-house.
— Charles Spurgeon
