Politicians Grab the Money…and March!

Because the Little Saigon Tet Parade is in Orange County, a major conservative stronghold, many politicians tried to score points with the minority community. Our evangelism team was more interested in scoring points with the politicians—by handing them Gospel tracts. Our hope was that they’d read them, believe and repent, and make some decent policy changes that would affect our nearly bankrupt (spiritually, morally, fiscally) nation and state. You might say that this was a stimulus package that could actually work! (Read part 1 here.)

Loretta Sanchez, Congresswoman for California’s 47th district was overjoyed to receive her tract.

Let’s hope this Blue Dog Democrat spends this hundred dollar bill a little more wisely….

Ed Royce, one of the rare Republicans on the Left Coast, from the 40th Congressional district, took the money… and ran! Any campaign contribution is welcome in these tough economic times, especially if you’re part of the GOP in SoCal.

GO ED!

Take a look at the images and see if you’d be foolhardy enough to witness in this monsoon.

I received an interesting email with a video attachment from a friend the other day. This is what he wrote: “Steve, “Look at this video [of the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade by ABC News]. From 1:06 to 1:16 there is a man who runs up to the car that is following the band; he

The Hollywood Celebrity B-list Christmas Parade

Dec 10, 2009Steve Sanchez3 CommentsE-vangie Tales

Last week’s evangelistic excursion to the Hollywood Christmas Parade was a wonderful opportunity to reach possibly millions of people world-wide with the Gospel. How so? By getting Gospel tracts into the hands of celebrities.

B-list celebrities.

Think about it. What if a star realizes, after reading a Gospel tract, that they will be condemned on the Day of Judgment because of their sin? They understand that they’ve lied, stolen or blasphemed God; they now know that God sees lust as adultery, hatred as murder. They then repent and put their trust in the Savior who suffered and died on a cross for them, was buried for three days and rose again. Then they use their God-given celebrity to preach to the world—until they get fired and are relegated to the B-list. (Read more about this crazy scheme from last year’s parade here.)

Am I nuts? Yep. That’s why I tried my best to get my Giant Hundred Dollar Bill Gospel tracts into the hands of as many celebrities and notables as I could. For instance: Montel Williams got one!
