Give me an excuse to evangelize!
Part of the DNA of our ministry is to look for more opportunities to do evangelism. If you came to Madrid personally and saw the sheer numbers of people who walk through this town square everyday (120,000) you would understand why. We preach two hours a day, but what about the other 22 hours? We look for every chance to do more. Upcoming dates and events on the calendar provide us with some of what we are looking for. A few notables are:
- My 25th wedding anniversary with Julie. I told the evangelizers what I wanted for our anniversary gift this year: 25 people to give their testimony ontheredbox. You know what? Twenty-eight people proclaimed the good news that day!
- We organized 7 teams that went to the streets with 7 boxes and preached for 7 hours on the 7th anniversary of ontheredbox ministry.
- Last year on 10/10/10 we challenged ontheredbox teams around the world to proclaim the gospel on the streets in 10 different countries for 10 hours. Sixteen countries participated.
Tomorrow is 11/11/11. In the same fashion, we will go to the plaza at 11 a.m. and preach for 11 hours. At the same time there will be: 11 hours of intercession in the prayer house, 11 hours of coffee house, 11 hours of school of evangelism.
Evangelism is part of our spiritual DNA. Look at your calendars and see if there are more opportunities to evangelize. Get some friends, spend some time with God, grab a box and together let’s hit the streets with the most amazing message ever!

Bravissimo…that’s NT evangelism…starting here in Kingston on Saturday. You have to understand that apart from my wife and a few who said “yes” to coming downtown with me, NOBODY else is interested. It’s a desert here. In the States it was even worse. For a while I walked ten miles a day to find souls in Portland, Oregon…IN THE RAIN…No crying to myself just praising God for your zeal and example. My plan here is to preach two hours a day down town over a four hour window. Get down to the area at ten in the morning and stay there till two or so. Monday through Friday. There are a lot of people there. There are no squares like in Europe, so we’ll have to improvise on the streets…we covet your prayers for favor with the local constabulary…they could make things difficult. He is in control…Bless…
