Thanks for hanging in there with and for us. This is the big day. Many believe they can do all the bad they want today and then tomorrow on Ash Wednesday they will all get right. Pray for our men as they witness for the Lord today in the French Quarter.
I am so proud of our leaders in each camp. These are men who have been with us for years and have learned their positions well. I am amazed at how well everything is coming together. This is the best year I have ever seen for the men working together. It is like the "icing" on the cake. It is like all the years of working down are maturing and doing the best ever.
The men have preached, clowned, passed tracts, witnessed one on one and marched through the streets in street marches. We have had street bands sharing the gospel and used two floats over in Mississippi. Tonight the men will meet together for a final rally in Jackson Square and each camp with give a battle cry to be followed by a "silent" march through the French Quarter. We will be basically saying---- "We have said all we know to say and now it is up to the people in the crowds to decide either for or against the Lord. This "silent" march has a great effect on the crowd, but more so has an effect on our guys.
Roger Lipe has done the greatest job I have ever seen in leading and coordinating all the camps for this last day. He has always been special to me, but to see him operate this year has been my highlight of the year. I have not been able to do anything except make token appearances at the camps and yet this is the best year ever for how smoothly the ministry has run. It has shown me that John 3:30 is so true of the Lord:
John 3:30 (New International Version)He must become greater; I must become less.
I feel so honored for the privilege of serving with these mighty men of God. It is my desire and goal in life to train these men to go forth to the ends of the earth to carry out THE GREAT (ADVENTURE) COMMISSION for our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST. I only pray that when all of us get to Heaven that we will hear those most precious words from our Lord and Master--------------"Well, done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the reward prepared for you."
I pray that every man with us here will be able to sing the song and mean it that "It will be WORTH IT ALL WHEN WE SEE JESUS!" Thank you for the prayers and friendship.
God is good!
