Thank God for the liberty to preach and speak with people today on the street!
We were able to speak one-on-one with a good number of folks today. The preaching went on unhindered, and there were many people that stopped within the sound of the preaching and heard the whole counsel of God. Of the people we talked to, there are a few whose names I will bring up.

Two of the men we dealt with today would not receive the message. The first, whose name was Fred, and the second, who would not give me his name, were unwilling to submit to the truth of the gospel, especially the latter with whom we dealt for quite some time. He did not want us praying for him, and he attempted to use his intellect to cast doubt on the word of God. Pray that the verses we spoke to him would convict his heart and draw him to the Saviour.
One young man, named Edwin, had a dificult time submitting to what he had to do to be saved. He acknowledged that he believed everything I showed him from the Bible, but would not make a decision. Another man with whom Rob spoke was also very close, but did not receive Christ at this time. His name was Carlos.

One man the others spoke with, whose name was Bob, had a testimony of salvation. He expressed interest in coming to church. Pray that he would take the opportunity to come out.
We also had an interesting experience at the end of our day. We all knelt on the sidewalk to pray for God's blessing on the work done. While we were praying, we were joined by an unidentified man who wanted to pray with us. When we were done, three kids on skateboards came over and asked if they could pray with us. I asked what they wanted prayer for. The one responded, "Uh... luck?" I said, "How about eternal life?" To which he responded, "Yeah, that's cool, too!" In any case, we were able to give the plan of salvation to them not only through the prayer for them, but also with the tracts they received.

In closing, pray that the word of God brings forth fruit, and that God receives all the glory for what was done today.
