May Evangelism Adventures

From Cinco de Mayo celebrations, to the American Idol Finals, to Armed Forces and Gay Pride Parades, to the infamous Fiesta Hermosa, the month of May promises to be one big opportunity to reach all kinds of lost people. Please consider joining us! Here’s what we are doing:

Saturday, May 7th: Evangelism Adventure @ Olvera Street/Cinco de Mayo: Meet at Hope Chapel at Noon to carpool. Or, meet us at the Metro Rail parking lot, 370 W. Ave. 26, L.A. at about 1:15.  We take that to Olvera St. Cost: $1.75 each way.

Here’s what we’re doing the rest of the month:

Weekend Adventures: Doo Dah Parade, Lawndale Youth Parade, Festival of Books

Want to go to a parade where you can pelt participants and side-liners alike with corn tortillas and marshmallows, carry a cross next to the Cannabis Peace Corps, preach to transvestites, people in little motorized cupcakes and Elvis on a Vespa? If this is your cup of tea, then you’ll enjoy the counter-cultural, anti-Rose Parade, Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena. (Read what happened last year by clicking here.) Watch the action with this two minute video:

Meet at Hope Chapel at 8am to carpool.

Want a safer alternative? Then the Lawndale Youth Parade is for you….

Evangelism Adventures: “Day of Silence” & Long Beach Grand Prix

This Friday take advantage of students not saying a word and preach the Gospel to them at the annual Day of Silence.

If you’re not familiar with this event here is how Randy Thompson, of Save California.com describes it:

Craftily packaged as “tolerance” and “sensitivity,” the so-called “Day of Silence” is sponsored by the “Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). It targets impressionable children each year in California government-run schools. This Friday, April 15, many public high schools and a growing number of junior highs will permit confused and rebellious boys and girls to disrupt the entire school day by “remaining silent.” Students participating in the “Day of Silence” will wear pro-homosexuality T-shirts, buttons, and stickers, refuse to answer teachers’ questions in classrooms, make it difficult for other students to concentrate, and generally take over school campuses for the entire day.

Saturday Evangelism Adventure: Huntington Beach

A year and a half ago I interviewed Ray Comfort in Huntington about his success in refuting a mythical, mostly atheist fairy tale for grown-ups. Here it is again in case you missed it. (Nearly 3,000 people have viewed it and here are the ratings: 27 likes, 78 dislikes. Guess who didn’t like the video? In fact, a famous atheist re-cut it and made his own video called “Why do People Laugh at Creationists, Pt 31” which got over 400,000 hits! See it here.)

This Saturday we will be joining Ray and his team down in Huntington Beach. Meet at Hope Chapel at noon to carpool. We leave promptly at 12:15—so don’t be late! Or meet us at the base of the Pier at about 1:15pm.

Did you know that we are doing more this week, too?
