How?

“…how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14
It’s still good ol’ fashioned preaching that God uses to save souls, so since the beginning of October we have done some evangelistic programs in the streets and in a homeless shelter. A group of friends helped us out as we did dramas to draw crowds and then the preaching. Alicia and Bailey were a part of the outreach dramas and Christopher helped by translating the preaching.
On February 13th a couple of people responded to the altar call at the homeless shelter. Then that evening when we did a program in the street in Antigua about 8 people responded to the altar call. A week later we did a program in the street in San Miguel Escobar. A small group of youth responded to the call for salvation that night. Then a week after that we did a program near the market in Antigua. I talked to the crowd about how Jesus said that we need to eat His flesh and drink His blood. No one responded to that altar call that day, but when Jesus Himself preached that same message in John 6 there seemed to be a negative response as well, so I didn’t feel so bad.
During holy week a group of us went to the streets to preach. About 8 people prayed for salvation that night. My friend Dave got to street preach in Spanish for the first time. He and I got some big crowds with a light-show illusion, and then we would share the gospel.
God has provided opportunities “in season” and “out of season” to preach. On March 5th our family was in Mexico to renew our visas and I had shown an optical illusion to a group from a soccer team who was staying at the hotel we were at. Well, about 12 of them showed up at our door to ask to see another trick. So I showed them one and then preached to them, and some of them prayed there to receive Christ also!
