The 500 is over...

The 500 Is over but the effects will be felt for a long time.

I will be preaching all week in Atlanta and will not have the best Internet access.

Please e-mail all stories/photos to info@thefivehundred.org..

I can't wait to see them...

Praise God for what He did this weekend at the deeper conference and in downtown Atlanta! I was blessed to be one of the 500 (and to see Marcus open air preach) at the BET awards (the spot the team I was with went to). I look forward to many more one-on-one encounters spreading the seeds of God's glorious gospel!

Marcus,
It was a pleasure to have met you and served with you! Im sure it was difficult to organize such an event but it was well worth the effort im sure! I look forward to the next 500 event! As for me I will continue to serve with "The 5" in my city that God has teamed me up with.

Hey man, it was a blast preaching the Word and to see you again. There were so many people in the subway that got to hear the Gospel and get tracts.

Marcus - It was awesome serving with you and I hope that can happen again sometime. Like Noiz (Robert), I only have a group of about 5-6 that gets together here in the Canton Georgia area to go to car shows, festivals and parks...so being part of the 500 was amazing.

Here is a quick tract story when we were at the BET awards area...


I handed a tract called "Are you good enough to go to Heaven" to a fast walking young man who was in a group of four.

These guys were dressed in hip-hop fashion and looked pretty tough as they walked on by.

The young man took my tract without looking at what it was. As they strolled on by I turned to watch them as they went and the young man with the tract turned to talk to his buddies and then looked down at what he was holding.

When he saw what it was, and what it said on the front, he looked at his buddies, turned around to see if anyone was near him and then quickly put the tract into his coat pocket the way someone shoplifting would at a store.

Here was a guy who knew what he had,could have thrown it on the ground as many others before him had done, but chose to keep it and read it later when no one was around.

This guy would have never talked to me in his group of four...he may have one on one...but now he had a tract that explained to him what sin is, why God hates it and what he must do to have that sin forgiven and spend eternity in Heaven.
