Saturday_2007 Pismo Car Show Part 3
Download this episode (10 min)
My brother Ted Malley showed up on Saturday during the Pismo Car Show. We had a great time ministering together at the mouth of the pier, tracting and sharing the Gospel 1-2-1. There were so many people, we didn’t have to do any legwork. All we had to do is stand in one place and hold a tract out and say, “did you get one of theses?” Or, “Did you get your billion dollar bill yet?” The fish were jumping all around us!
Before this encounter starts, listen to the “rejections,” to the offer of the tracts Ted and I are passing out. Christian, you can do this! This is the extent of the “rejection” that you will endure. When you feel the rejection remember what Jesus said:
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12 (NKJV)
I don’t even like to call someone turning down a tract, “persecution.” There are Christians in other parts of the world that are persecuted and it doesn’t involve someone saying “no” to a tract – if you get my drift. Christian, what freedom you have. Carry tracts with you and share them with friends, family, and strangers that you meet.
This encounter is so cool! It was a blessing to see God use a seasoned Christian like Ted to share the Gospel with these four guys. This was sort of a tag-team approach to sharing the Gospel. I shared the Law with them and Ted jumped in with a transitioning illustration into Grace. It was easy, fun, and most importantly, it hit the target. Robert (the Catholic youth leader) and his three students seemed to understand the Gospel when the encounter was over.
I thank God for the divine appointments God provided on Friday and Saturday. Many herd the Good News again – others hear IT for the first time, like a 12-year-old boy named Dominick. Please pray for him. I shared with him for 15 minutes or so and he left. Maybe a half-hour later, he came back to talk more. God brought many other children too. I can’t remember ever sharing with so many kids before. It was so refreshing to share with such tender hearts.
God softened a young girl that stood and listened to an open-air. She, and I think it was her brother, stood and listened intently until it was finished. She appeared to be concerned. As she was leaving, Ted and I approached her and directed her to Psalm 51. After reading the first two verses to her out loud, she said thank you, turned around to leave, took a couple of steps and turned back around and asked, “that was Psalm 51?” I said, “Yes,” and she left. What a blessing! Please pray for all those that heard the Gospel over the two days.
I thank God for these encounters and I thank God for you Josh, Ted, and Sawyer.

Haha! That's great, the only pic of me is in front of the women's restroom! It was a great place to just hand out tracts. You just say, "Heres some reading material while you wait in line!". That was a fun weekend event, and even though nobody confessed to us that they would wish to be saved, God is good, and we trust that our work was not in vain.
Also, it was such a blessing to see so many calvary chapel people come out on tuesday! God is so good! We're finaly not alone Allen, and Sawyer!
