Joe and I have been doing some street evangelism over the last few weeks with our new prayer stand.  We've had tremendous opportunities and look forward to what God will do through it.

We welcome you to join us if you are able.  We meet from 11-1 every Thursday (in Mansfield) and Friday (in Ashland).

Biggest Question DVD Distribution Video

3/31/2014

We've told you about our big evangelism excursion at Ashland University.  We've been blessed to have heard some positive responses to the gospel DVD that we passed out to the students.

Some of those involved in the outing put together this video.  It is a fantastic clip that really shows why we are doing these kinds of things!

We are revving up for our next evangelism outing.  We will be passing out some of the Biggest Question DVD's at Ashland University on March 26th.  And...by some, I mean 1,800!

The shipment came in yesterday (see the pic above) and the evangelistic juices are starting to flow.  Make sure you let us know if you want to be a part of the distribution.  Our team will be on campus from 11am-3pm.

Jesus Will Pump You Up

Our brother Joe recently went down to Columbus, OH to do some evangelism at the Arnold Classic, a body building event that Arnold Schwarzenegger holds each year.  I asked Joe to give us a review of his experience.  

This is what he had to say...

There was a larger crowd there this year than last year, so parking was a bit more of a challenge.  We began around 11:30am.  Just as we were setting up a young man by the name of James began open air preaching just 30 feet from our location.  He continued for about an hour and then stopped, which allowed us to have a conversation with him. 
 
Michael Coughlin, our team leader, had custom gospel tracts made for the event which had contact information on the back. (Michael was my team leader at the Super Bowl outreach in New Orleans.) 

We began passing out gospel tracts, and engaging in one on one conversations.  I spoke with two guys that began asking me bible questions.  After a couple questions I turned the questioning back on them.  One of guys, named Darren, said his girlfriend just caught him in an affair with another woman.  I stressed to him Gods moral standard (lying, stealing, adultery), and what God should do with him when he dies.  He was concerned, but his friend told him they had to go.  So we didn’t have time to finish the conversation. 

He looked visible shaken, but I told him that there was contact information on the back of the tract if he had any questions. Please pray for Darren.

The temperature was in the 40’s and most people were wearing t-shirts so not many people would stop and talk.  I had several people come and shake my hand and thank me for sharing the Good News.

During Michael's open air sermons on two different occasions, two different men began shouting profanities and making lewd homosexual comments.  Michael just told them to watch their mouths because families with young children were in the crowd.  That seemed to work well.

I did see Olympic Gold medalist and worlds strongest man Mark Henry.  I said hello to him and tried to give him a gospel tract, but he wouldn’t take it.

Ashland County Fair Outreach 2013

Thanks to our new evangelism team and all who helped to make it a successful week!
In September we had a booth at the Ashland County Fair.  It was a great time of gospel ministry.  We were able to hand out loads of literature and 300 sermon CD's.  

The Lord also opened up a number of opportunities to engage people with the gospel.  We had numerous conversations where we were able to have meaningful back and forth over aspects of the Christian faith. 

We also handed out 180 movies and took signatures for the Ohio Personhood Amendment.

We collected a ton of signatures from those who were passing by too.

Opportunities to Gather Personhood Amendment Signatures 

7/11/2013

Comments

 
Picture
Protecting pre-born children is perhaps Providence Church's number one concern.  To that end we are thankful for those in our congregation who are attempting to gather signatures for the Ohio Personhood Amendment.  
In sum, the amendment would give pre-born children equal status with other people, and thus protect them from death through abortion.  You can learn more about it at the Ohio Personhood Amendment website.

There are a number of events over the next few months that will be venues for gathering these signatures.  If you would like to participate by taking a time slot at a booth or accompany others as they collect signatures, we would greatly appreciate your help.  The opportunities that are currently slated are as follows:

July 13             Yaves Ellis concert (Columbus, OH)
August 15-18   Blueberry Festival (Lexington, OH)

We are also hoping to pinpoint some other events in September, and visit other churches in the area for the purpose of gathering signatures.

If you are interested in helping out and/or getting your name on the petition, please be sure to contact us.

Our Friends in Romania

3/26/2013

Comments

 
In 2012 Providence church collected money to give to a congregation in Romania so they could buy a heating system for their church.  Since then we've had some regular connections with the congregation.  We thought we would pass on the latest communication, which had some interesting news and some great pictures!
It is a while without to hear by you. 

We are well like a family, the church family the same. God blessed us with His presence, and one from good things which we had learned soon was from Ephesians 3:17. ,,...so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.,, Either as Christ to dwell in our hearts like in His home. To control all my thoughts, all my plans, all my decisions, all my actions. I wish, and I pray for this, that God to fill completely our beings with His  Holy Spirit.

I know that your church helped us more than we have thought. You know about our accident. We have repaired it is good now, not hundred percent. I still have some problems with it but ... still working. 

I have sent you some pictures from the church and all those people except four came at the church with my car. I started from home at 8,30 and until 10  I collect the people to bring at the church in my house, and this because I live too far by many of them. 

If you want to have a new reason to pray I want to give one. Pray to could buy a minivan for church.  If want to share with others our request please do it.
