San Gennaro Feast

Calendar

Prayer Concerns

                                                            San Gennaro Feast

It is time for the San Gennaro Festival on September 15-20th. This will be the sixth time that the Las Vegas Outreach Team has hosted a booth. The Coordinators for LVOT continue coming back to this event twice a year because of the number of people we are able to share the Gospel with at each event.

For the third time, we will be utilizing a double booth (20'x10') because we have so many people willing to come work. This will also be the second time that we will have a Car Tracting Team. Brother Frank Francesco has already received 5000 tracts from the Fellowship Tract League which will be used for the car tracting.

There are several prayer concerns but the biggest one is for us to fill the two spots on the schedule that are still vacant; Tuesday 4-7 & Sunday 11-1. Please pray and seek the Lord if you could help with either one of those times. The second prayer is for the set-up of the booth on Sunday September 13 from 2-4 pm. We are hoping that with 3 or more people we could get it set up quickly. Finally, pray that the Lord will move on the hearts and minds of each person who is signed up to share the Gospel at the booth. Add to that pray that God's holiness will be so pure and real that brethren will speak with conviction and with fire.

                                                      Saying Thanks to Living Waters          & Ray Comfort

For about a year the Las Vegas Outreach Team Coordinators have been looking for a way to say thank you to the Living Waters Ministry and Ray Comfort. We have finally agreed on what we will give Living Waters and Ray, but we could use your help in making this possible.

The gift that we are putting together is not designed to be just from the Las Vegas Outreach Team, but instead it is designed to be from all the brethren in Las Vegas who have been well trained and encouraged by Living Waters and Ray. You involvement will be quite simple and will only require meeting us on October 10th at 9 am and giving us your best smile.

On that day we plan to take a group picture of everyone in front of the infamous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. We hope this will only take about thirty minutes and then the LVOT Coordinators will put together the gift. Also note that if you have shared this teaching with your children then please bring them along as well for the photo.

We plan on taking the gift to Living Waters & Ray on a Saturday in November to Southern California. We'll convoy from Las Vegas to Huntington Pier to meet Ray and some of the staff for some one-to-one sharing and open air preaching of the Gospel. Later in the day we will present the gift to Ray and then head back home. If you are interested in meeting for the picture on October 10th at 9 am please register below.


If you are also interested in a road trip to Huntington Beach to meet with Ray and the Living Waters staff, then please register below so we can make the final arrangements for this trip.

The Las Vegas Outreach Team Coordinators are putting together a present for the Living Waters Ministry and Ray Comfort. This present is a token of our thanks to the ministry and Ray for helping us be fishers of men.
