STREET PREACHING IN HAYWOOD COUNTY,NC

I WAS HONORED TO HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BY GOD TO TAKE TO THE STREETS OF HAYWOOD COUNTY, NC TODAY. GOD PAVED THE WAY FOR THE GOSPEL AND MANY HEARTS WERE TOUCHED. IN THE PICTURES TO THE RIGHT ARE MYSELF AND BRO. JOSHUA MCELRATH IN TWO DIFFERENT CITIES(WAYNESVILLE AND CANTON). WE RAN INTO OPPOSITION EARLY IN THE TRIP WHEN THE MANAGER OF BEST BUY TRIED TO VIOLATE OUR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO PREACH AND HOLD SCRIPTURE SIGNS ON A PUBLIC SIDE WALK. HE WAS ANGRY, COWARDLY AND OBVIOUSLY CONVICTED BY WHAT WE WERE DOING SO HE THEN CALLED THE POLICE. GOD BE THANKED,THE WAYNESVILLE PD UPHELD OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICANS AND CHRISTIANS! THE MANAGER THEN TRIED TO HAVE OUR TRUCK TOWED AND WE WERE FORCED TO MOVE IT , BUT WE STAYED TO PRESENT THE GOSPEL UNTIL GOD SAID TO LEAVE. MY THANKS TO WPD FOR THEIR COOPERATION AND SUPPORT AS WE TRY TO REACH THE LOST IN OUR TOWNS AND IN OTHERS. MY SINCEREST THANKS ALSO TO BRO. MCELRATH FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO GET OUT ON THE STREETS AND FULFIL THE GREAT COMMISSION.

  3. Praise the Lord that the Police upheld your rights as Americans. We are granted a great priviledge in that the Lord allows us to live in a country where we are protected to preach the Gospel publickly (KJV Spelling). It is amazing when Christians have the right to propogate the Gospel and will not. Anyway, God Bless.

  5. God only knows the souls who may have been awakened to their lost condition, whether they get saved or not is between them and God. J.R.
