World Series

Myself, Carlin, and Roger recently took a mission trip down to game two of the World Series in San Fran. While in route via bart we handed out tracts, bibles, and spoke with several about Christ. We ended up arriving at the game in the sixth inning. It was a bit difficult finding the perfect location to set up our preaching pulpit, but eventually we ended up in the middle of a crosswalk intersect. When the people came pouring out of the stadium..by the thousands...many of them would be standing at my intersection waiting for the train to pass by so that they could get across the street. While they were waiting we took advantage of this large gathering of people by proclaiming to them salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We had preaching, conversations, and many tracts distributed on this particular night. We were the only born again christians preaching ...what an honor! One particular man named Santiago was drawn to the Lord Jesus Christ when Carlin was boldly preaching the gospel. It was so amazing to watch. The man's friends were trying to pull him away, but he just couldn't leave! Many in this crowd were so fanatical about this sport that it reminded me of idolatry. This people were so in love with the cares of this world...that they didn't even want to think about there own soul..It reminded me of the children of Israel in the wilderness worshipping the golden calf..eating, drinking, dancing..and playing. Many were smoking marijuana and blowing it in our faces..I'm amazed that God saves any of us! My heart goes out to these people because this is fleeting vanity and pure idolatry. Love not the world. May God continue to strengthen this weak vessel to press on. Please pray for me. Jim
