Ordained as ministers last year, Stephen Ocean (23) and Tite Sufra (24) spent most of their time preaching to troubled youths in the streets before being gunned down Saturday night by an 18-year-old man named Jeriah Woody.

A few months back I posted a picture of the prize (see it up close here) that the top kid evangelist would win if they scored the most points in my Kid Evangelism class.

#2: She’s your average Christian and she doesn’t want anybody to bother her. We call her Mrs. No. She’s having her own time with God.
Almost three years ago, when I first started interviewing people on camera, I ran into a colorful cowboy named Lightning while strolling along the Redondo Beach Pier. I think you’ll enjoy this. (I’d appreciate your prayers as I prepare to give four sermons this weekend on the wrath of God from Romans 1:18-32)
