Team Yeshua Outreach in Downtown Missoula

Today, Team Yeshua enjoyed a great time of outreach in downtown Missoula. I sent them out to put into practice some of the things we have been teaching them concerning our Lord’s Great Commission. They walked several city blocks with the cross and had not a few conversations about the things of the Lord. Many Gospel tracts went out, as well as a few pairs of fresh socks for some homeless souls. Of course, such distribution is always accompanied by a Gospel message.

One man berated the team as they distributed some socks. He shouted, “At least you are giving them something ‘useful’ as opposed to this ‘useless’ card [i.e. Gospel tract] you gave to me!”. My son responded, “Sir, the Gospel is far more USEFUL than a pair of socks!”

One lady, Violet, actually asked for a copy of the Scriptures and was thankful to receive it.

Another man in a wheelchair was gracious after Josiah talked to him about the Lord, gave him a Gospel tract, and then asked if he would like a pair of socks, failing to notice his prosthetics. The man responded, “Well son, they wouldn’t be of much use to me. You see, I don’t have any legs.”

It was a blessing to see these young people go out eagerly with the Gospel the day after a very traumatic face-to-face encounter with fatal tragedy in Glacier National Park.

Life is so temporary. One moment we are breathing and another, we’re gone. Christ Jesus is our only hope!
