Here I am doing open-air preaching. This is at a crosswalk and next to the University of Texas. The casket was being used by us to draw a crowd, showing that 10 out of 10 of us will die. Do you know if you will go to heaven?
Sometimes, we had people drive by and hear us, then they would yell obscenities out their window towards us.
Here we are in class getting ready to get started on the first night. Roughly 90 people were here.

There was a large Veteran's Day Parade in Austin. We went, passed out many gospel tracts and witnessed. Some of our group open-air preached.

Here is one of our gospel tracts after the parade. This was rare. We didn't find many of our tracts thrown on the ground or in the trash.
I just had to get my pic next to the Ten Commandments!

John Legg, who is from Austraila, was open-air preaching. He had a little fun with the "we're #1 finger". He was waiving the pointed finger about and said, "we're not here to point fingers, but how will you do on the Day of Judgment", that sort of thing.

This pic was taken after the pedestrian traffic slowed way down! Some of us were passing out tracts and some were open-air preaching to them as they were walking across and waiting for the light to change.

The odd dressed man is named "Leslie". He spends a lot of time out on 6th Street in Austin. He was one of our biggest hecklers.

What is a GNN Evangelism Bootcamp (EBC)?
What is GNN Evangelism Boot Camp? Let me start by telling you what it’s not. This isn’t some boring book taught seminar. GNN EBC is a hands-on, role up your sleeves; get in the trenches, big time battle against the most evil enemy ever. EBC is the place where you learn to face your fears and boldly proclaim the Great News that Jesus is Lord. GNN EBC is put on in association with The Way of the Master ministries (Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron) and is the place where GNN gets to serve God where people learn to put into practice the biblical principals they’ve learned on The Way of the Master TV show, or the School of Biblical Evangelism. It’s where people from all around the world can come together to sharpen their swords and learn how to be a more effective witness for Jesus. It’s where GNN trains up highly motivated men and women to join God’s great army of evangelist!
Why should you attend the GNN
Evangelism Boot Camp? Everyone who has ever attended GNN’s EBC without
exception has gone home forever changed. EBC has proven to be an
amazing, life-changing experience for all who attend and a place where
God truly does work miracles. It’s as though God takes people to a whole
new level in their relationship with Him.
If you feel alone and isolated when trying to find others
who are tired of sitting on the barracks while they watch other people
sink into Hell, then EBC is the place to be. If you want to be committed
to serving Christ by learning how to witness effectively, inoffensively
and biblically then submit your application today.

After attending this GNN Evangelism Bootcamp, I have passed the last qualification I needed to become a GNN Local Leader. I am looking forward to this next step in my ministry.
