New York Trip 2008

January 16, 2008

Sharon and I recently returned from the Ranch’s annual evangelistic outreach to New York City. We were part of an 18 member team. We set up “Prayer Stations,” invited people to let us pray with them about various needs in their lives, handed out literature with a Gospel message on in, and shared the Good News of Salvation to people in the Subway. Sharon had the opportunity to lead two women though the plan of salvation and saw them saved! I also, along with another team member, we were able to show a man, from the Bible, that he could know for sure he was headed to heaven. This man had much head knowledge. In fact, he recited several scripture verses to me as I led him though a Gospel tract. He knew how to be saved, but he had never trusted in Christ for himself. It was a blessing to see the joy this man had once he realized that “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.”
Sharon and I also enjoyed seeing the sites of New York City. The first night there we saw Times Square, Grand Central Station, and the Empire State Building along with many other things along the way. Much of the site seeing was at night because we were in the Subway during the day, but the last day we had a few hours in the afternoon to explore on our own. We visited Ground Zero, walked down part of Wall Street, road the ferry to Statton Island and back, traversed the Subway system without the guidance of our seasoned team members, got lost in the Rockefeller Center, and shared a slice of genuine New York cheese cake!

We would love to go again some day.
