Go Out to the Highways

What a blessed time we had in Lake Havasu the last two weeks. We enjoyed a warm welcome by Pastors Rudy and Dean of  the Christian Youth Workers Round Table and Pastor Ray of Calvary Chapel Lake Havasu. Pastor Ray let us camp in the church parking lot during our time here, which was a huge help.

Here is a picture of Pastor Ray and I.

I had the privilege to share our ministry and how we share the Gospel on the road and in the streets. I also got to give the Gospel on stage at the end of the first night of the 2011 Teen Break. And over course of our 12 days in Lake Havasu, we handed out a little over 2,000 Gospel tracts to college students and to some of the remaining snowbirds.

Nearly everyone drives a car but not everyone goes to a Christian Church. In fact, current studies report that less than half of Americans attend a Christian church. “And the master said to the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.” While in Lake Havasu City, we were blessed with a new tool to reach people with the Gospel while we are driving down the road. Now all of the people driving behind the RV and the van will see Titus 3:5-6:

“He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior”

And Romans 10:9:

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

The vinyl lettering and labor to install the above verses on the RV were donated by Scott of Precision Cut Designs. The back window on the van now displays Romans 10:9 and our new web address, courtesy of Pastor Rudy of Living Word Family Church. This blog can now be found by also going to ontheroadfamilyoutreach.com. Thank you so much Scott and Rudy. God’s word does not return to Him void, so we know that it will have an effect on everyone who reads the back of our little caravan.
