Pretty sweet night

So today some of the evangelism team and I went to one of the casinos in town where a Worth the Wait event was being hosted. We went not for the event but to preach the gospel after because WTW can't preach due to the fact they receive federal grants for abstinence teaching (we figured we would complete what they were doing). At first when we got there we were unable to preach because they ushered all the kids inside the event. A gentleman politely said something like ' we like what you are doing but right now the event is going on and there are always people from Planned Parenthood coming to these events to try and tie us to a faith based group then we would lose our funding but once they leave the room at 9 when our event is over they are all yours.' He was a very nice guy but anyways so Joey and i went walking around trying to evangelize in other parts of the casino while two of the girls were in the event. They ended up landing an interview with one of the organizers and all of the rappers they had there. They left the event early to find us and to get ready with questions for the interview and met us by the arcade. While they were writing questions and figuring out how they were going to record it a group of kids (roughly 12 to 16ish) walked by and Joey gave them a million dollar bill. They made some remark about it not being real and just kept walking. I saw this but decided that they were worth another crack because Joey never got to tell them that there was a gospel message on the back. As I went after them i found the bill ripped in half on the floor. picked it up and pulled out a fresh one. I caught up to the group of about 5 or 6 and after a little persistence got 2 to actually hold a conversation with me. their names were Lexi and Ivan. at first Lexi was very self righteous and said that she was catholic and all she had to do was ask for forgiveness while Ivan was just trying to be funny. eventually I got them calm enough to hear the law and they both fell silent very quickly IT WAS AWESOME! They both realized that they were headed for hell and didn't want to go there. I old them the gospel and Lexi seemed to be taking in every word almost like she was taking notes on what she had to do to be saved. Ivan seemed to be thinking about it as well but he didn't seem as convicted by it. (I think its because he said he was a bad person right of while Lexi was proclaiming her own goodness) I gave them one of our evangelism fliers with the church name on it and such and I hope to see them soon. EVERYONE PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO CONVICT THEM AND THAT THEY WILL BE SAVED.

Back to the WTW event. So Joey and I went upstairs waiting for the event to end and a lady came up to us and asked us what our Christian beliefs were and come to find out she is the coordinator for Nevada worth the wait and she said that once she herd that we were out here trying to preach the gospel that she had to ask us if we were interested in becoming speakers for worth the wait by going to schools and preaching abstinence while getting paid for it. This lady was very nice and was a christian she said that at first she didn't know how she was going to bring glory to God if she was unable to say his name or the name of Jesus but she soon said that she felt that God was telling her that her job was to do this and He would put people in the kids way that would preach the gospel.

As for the interview you will have to listen to the show we will have it on then sometime in the near future it was some very thought provoking conversation

all in all it was a decent night I preached the gospel to 2 kids who may get saved, I got an offer to become a pubic speaker and make $$ and I got an interview with 2 rappers and a coordinator for another abstinence organization.

goodnight all and don't forget to pray for Lexi and Ivan,
Anthony
