Here is the latest note from Casey & Connie. Please keep them in prayer, as they take the cross to 34th and Broadway in New York City. They are on the Front Lines of the battle, and they need our prayers and protection.

July 20th, at 34th and Broadway, in New York City.

A lady from China, asked me if she would go to hell, if she got divorced?  I shared with her,”Jesus loves you so deep and strongly, He would never turn His back on you, because of a failed marriage.”  As we prayed together, her tears began to flow. Her precious little daughter was saying, “ma ma why are you crying?”  She left with a new desire to seek the Lord, on His direction for her life.

Shortly thereafter, a gay guy, starts a conversation with me.  He said he was an atheist, and had no hope of any afterlife, once he died.  I shared, “What if there is a God, and He desires to love you, and have an eternal relationship with you?”  Then he went on a side track about his organic garden, and his pet praying mantis.  So we talked about gardening for a bit, and bugs.  The Spirit wanted the conversation to continue, to keep the door open.  So, we talked gardening for awhile; just like Jesus talked about water, with the woman at the well. He began to realize, Christians are real and can be nice.  We ended up talking about the Lord, and why He went to the cross for him.  He left, smiling and thanking me for talking to him.  I know a seed was planted, Praise the Lord!

A bit later, a man with broken English (he was Russian) asked me, what I was doing? Then he starts asking me some biblical questions, like, “when will Jesus return?”  I shared the gospel, and he graciously received it.  He took a tract, promised to read it.

A woman walks by, struggling to walk, using a cane.  I felt led to extend my Bible, and pray for her.  Immediately she picks up her cane, and starts to walk normal.  She disappears into the crowd, before I could talk to her.  Well praise the Lord, thanks Jesus for touching her.

After this, there were encounters with a CEO, a bag lady, a taxi driver, and many tourists.  The harvest is so white.  All we have to do, is shake the tree a little, and the ripe ones fall into the lap of the Lord.  Jesus wishes no one would perish.

With love, may we toss the life preservers of His life giving message.  They are so ready for His hope and healing.  Praise the Lord, Jesus is Good News for them!

Blessings abundant, from Casey in New York City.
