Prayer Request!

Thank you for your prayers and intercession and support for the work of evangelism!
Last week I shared the gospel at the Hope Central Watts Christmas Outreach!
I was able to share the gospel with over 300 people as they were in line to be served a Christmas dinner,
many believed and received the LORD! Praise the LORD!
Then on Sat. I worked with ‘Christmas in the Park’ in Santa Ana, I was able to share the gospel with about 40 people and most believed and received the LORD!
The LORD provided many opportunities through out the week to share the gospel in person and on the phone!
Jesus said “the harvest is ripe and the laborers are few, pray the LORD of the harvest, to send more laborers into the harvest”,
please pray with me for God to raise up an army of believers that are evangelizing everyday, wherever they are at!
I received an email from a missionary named Steve, he and his wife are serving in the Northern Japan province of Sapporo.
He said he listened to my evangelism seminar on cd, and said ‘Yes, I hear the Masters Voice…’ he wants me to come this January to teach and train them to do one on one evangelism!
In order to do a good seminar and training, I need to have a good translator.
Please pray with me that God will provide a translator for me!
I am leading a mission team to Haiti, Feb. 9 to 16, 2013, Cross to Light Haiti Bible Training Center.
Pray for God to put His team together for this trip, we will be sharing the gospel everywhere, in the tent cities, helping with the new church plants,
visiting a couple of orphanages, helping feed the children, working at the training centers and hopefully visiting ‘Destiny Ranch’, working with the street children.
Please pray for more opportunities for me to teach Shepherds Voice Evangelism, to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry!

May God bless you as you fulfill the great commission!

Overview of Haiti trip!

Journal for trip to Cross to Light, Haiti Bible Training Center Dec. 3 to 11, 2012

Dec. 3. Nate Foss took me to the LAX Airport. Shared the gospel with ticket agent who prayed with me to believe and follow the LORD! The LORD allowed me to get 3 bags weighting 72 to 74.5 lbs with drilling supplies and bibles in at no charge! Praise the LORD!
I shared with 7 other people in the airports and on the planes.

Dec. 4. Charles Watson & I went to evangelize in the area of the Training Center, we shared the gospel with ~35 people which believed and received the LORD and will follow the LORD! I was allowed to be on 4 tapings of the “Destiny” TV Show where the primary goal is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ! Destiny air on the largest secular TV station in Haiti, 3 times a day, 7 days a week! Praise the LORD the gospel goes out to the un-churched and the non-believer daily! Praise the LORD!

Dec. 5. I taught at the Bible training Center for 3 hours in the morning on evangelism. they have 7 new students and 3 about to graduate. Charley Watson & I went out to the byways. We shared the gospel with~30 people, there was a great harvest of souls! Please pray as we are now pumping water from the new well, but only at 1/2 gallon a minute, praise the LORD for the water, Pray for the LORD to provide a more powerful 1&1/2 hp pump, as they use 600 to 800 gallons of water a day.
Please pray as they have started drilling a water well on the new church property today, for grace and water!

Dec. 6. A team from Paris, Texas, lead by Pastor Damian Velarde and Pastor Greg Kee, held a medical clinic in the tent city Sinnius. Over 200 came to be seen by the 2 doctors and Charles Watson & I shared the gospel with each one of them, almost all believed and received the LORD! Praise the LORD!
Charles & I shared with ~35 people on the way back to the Bible Training Center, many received the gospel with great joy! We went to eat with the team from Texas and Kerby & I shared with 3 young men at the restaurant, 1 was a believer, and the other 2 received the LORD!
We drove to the new church property to pay some workers and shared with 4 workers, 3 already believed and the other one received the LORD!
We stopped at a store and shared the gospel with the 7 store employees and all received the LORD!
Back at the Training center a septic tank inspector showed up to give a quote for pumping the tank, he said he couldn’t give a quote, only look to be sure the truck could access the tank!? So we shared the gospel with him and he believed and was now going to follow Jesus!

Dec. 7. Charles Watson & I shared the gospel with over 100 people in groups of 2 to 25 at a time, many wanted to believe and follow Jesus! Praise the LORD!

Dec. 8. Today we went into the countryside of Haiti, to do 2 children’s ministry outreaches! Kirby(my translator) & I took 5 ‘taptap’s’(a Toyota truck made into a taxi, that can hold up to 20 people) to the area. We left at 7:45 am and arrived at 10:30am. We shared the gospel on 4 of these public taxi’s, one of these was a bus, there were about 70 people on this bus! Praise the LORD the word of God was received with joy!! The last one had 20 people on it and most of them were hotly arguing with each other, we prayed for the Holy Spirit to fall on this taptap, and then we shared the gospel and the Holy Spirit fell on everyone! After they received the LORD, the guy next to me then gave his testimony and we gave them much exhortation and encouragement! All together we shared with about 120 people on the way to minister at the outreaches. We arrived late, but we had time to share the gospel with about 100 kids at the 1st location and then we were allowed to helped feed them lunch. We then went and shared the gospel with about 70 kids at the 2nd location! Praise the LORD! Many received the LORD and many were encouraged! What a day! That evening we recorded 3 Destiny TV Shows with Pastor Gary & Pastor Brian. Thank you for praying!

Dec. 9. We went with Pastor Gary to the Destiny ranch that is ~ 4 to 5 acres, that he started several months ago, where he takes in street kids and leads them to the LORD and disciples them and feeds them and houses them. He has about 7-8 kids now! He also has a church on the property in a tent, we held a service and he had ~90 come to hear the word of God and to worship. It was a great service!

Dec. 10. I taught 2 hours on evangelism at the Bible Training Center. We recorded 4 more “Destiny” TV Shows with pastors Gary & Brian. We shared the gospel on each show!

Dec. 11. Time to go home! I shared the gospel with 5 people at the airport in Haiti. I shared with 2 stewardess and 3 lounge employees. At Miami airport it took 75 minutes for our bags to come down! What a delay! So I shared the gospel with a man named Jose who prayed right there to receive the LORD and to follow HIM! Praise the LORD!

Haiti

Thank you for all your prayer and intercession and support for the work of evangelism & training!
I arrived in Port-AU-Prince on Tuesday, then Charles Watson & I went out to the byways and evangelized,
many heard the word and many believed the gospel!
Praise the LORD!
Pastor Gary came to the Cross to Light Bible Training Center Tuesday evening, and we taped 4 TV programs of “Destiny”!
We shared the gospel on each show and also did some teaching of the word of God.
Destiny airs 3 times every day on Haiti’s largest secular TV station.
It is a powerful medium to preach the gospel to those who otherwise would not hear the gospel.
We will record 3 more shows on Thursday.
I taught a 3 hour evangelism training to the students Wednesday morning then Charles Watson & I shared the gospel in the afternoon in the area.
Please pray as we are now pumping water from the new well, but only at 1/2 gallon a minute,
praise the LORD for the water, Pray for the LORD to provide a more powerful 1&1/2 hp pump,
as they use 600 to 800 gallons of water a day.
Pray as we continue to share the gospel in the tent cities and in the area.
Please pray as they have started drilling a water well on the new church property today, for grace and water!
Thank you again, Steve Coon
