This Friday night was fruitful. The bus station security told us we couldn't pass out gospel tracts any longer on their property and we had to leave, because they had "complaints" about us last Friday night. We also spoke to Christians, a pagan, we pulled April Fool's Day jokes on people, passed out an April Fool's Day trivia gospel tract, and did open-air preaching two times at Park Central Square.

We had six committed people come out tonight. My son, Dillon came with me.  GNN Seed Sower, David Lohn, and his two sons, Luke and Nathanel, as well as GNN Seed Sower Michael Borich. It was a much warmer night than usual, and that made for more people in the downtown area.

We paired off into two teams. David, Luke and Nathanel started off one direction and Michael, Dillon and I headed for the bus station. As soon as we arrived at the bus station and started passing out the April Fool's Day trivia gospel tract, the security officer came up and told us that she was instructed by higher ups that if we arrived, that we would have to stop passing out our tracts and leave the property. She said they had complaints last Friday night. If you read last Friday night's post, that is when a bus driver was loud with me and telling us to stop handing tracts out because it was blocking people from getting of the buses. We backed up and continued.

Last Friday night we also had a young man named David who prayed and repented and trusted in Christ....right at the bus station. We have been having very fruitful conversations with folks there. Satan would like nothing better than to put a stop to us going to this place. I asked her if it was a publicly owned bus station, and if so, I believe we have the right to be there. She told us we will need to call back and talk to the people who made the decision. I will be doing that and possibly contacting an attorney to see what they say. I will let you know what happens.

Michael and I walked around, passing out the April Fool's Day trivia gospel tract. One side had trivia questions about April Fool's Day and the other had a gospel message. Most people we offered a tract to accepted it.

After getting back to the square, we ran into Chris, David and Sally from West Division Baptist Church. They come out and hand out free water and witness to people. I met Chris at the Square one time before. He said he still has the "Hell's Best Kept Secret" CD I gave him, he just hasn't listened to it yet.

David, Luke and Nathanel arrived back from passing out tracts. They did something that was funny, something that David did once before. The three of them just stopped and began looking up at the sky. Finally, a few ladies that were walking by stopped and began looking at the sky to see what they were looking at. David said, "April Fool's Day!" ha - and handed them gospel tracts and they accepted them.

We had our Minivox PB-25 portable PA system.  We placed it on the fountain wall and I stepped up to open air preach. Michael buys these cute little stuffed animals and we give them away as free prizes if someone answers a trivia question correctly. This normally gathers a crowd. After a crowd is gathered, we offer someone a couple stuffed animals if they can prove to me they are a good person. We had a volunteer tonight named Brian (nickname is Scooby). We took Brian through the Good Person Test, asking if he has ever lied, stolen, blasphemed or lusted. We are all guilty of breaking some or all of these 10 Commandments. Brian knew all the right answers and said that he is a Christian. I gave him the stuffed animals. There were probably 25 people in the entire area that heard the message.

After the open-air, I spoke to Brian. He was out with some friends, Rebecca and Ashley. They go to Solid Rock International Church. We passed out some Hell's Best Kept Secret cd's and other tracts to the people after the open-air.

More people were arriving at the square, so we decided to do another open-air. David used his money and went to get change ($1.00 bills) and we used those as prizes to give out if they answered the trivia questions correctly. I stood up on the fountain wall and began announcing that we were giving away free money, all you have to do is answer the trivia questions correctly. We gave the money away and I asked for a volunteer who could prove to be a good person, then they would receive two stuffed animals. There were probably 50-60 people in the square that heard the law and the gospel presented.

A few people were volunteering, but I picked Barbara. I had noticed Barbara walking around the square earlier. She was cursing quite a bit and being loud. She had a couple of her daughters out with her (teenagers). I asked her, "Have you ever told a lie?" "Yes". "What does that make you?" "A liar". I mentioned to everyone that the Bible says that "all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire". "Have you ever stolen anything?" "Yes". "What does that make you?" "A stealer" "Only in Pittsburg" :-) "No, a thief". The Bible says that "no thief will enter into the kingdom of God".

"Have you ever used God's name in vain?" "Yes". The Bible says that that is called blasphemy, and that "the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain". What we do is take the name of the God who has given us everything we hold dear and drag His name through the mud. So, instead of using a four-letter filth word to express disgust, we use God's name. We don't even use Adolph Hitler or Saddam Hussein's name as a curse word, but we use God's name. "Have you ever looked with lust?" "Yes".
