Many thanks to anyone who would be willing to do this for me. Thankyou. Re the thread..my pastor preaches in the open air,and i am blessed with being able to do so as well. What a privelage this is...but its actually heart breaking to see the lost on their way to a Christless eternity. Norman You can order the tracts online through the following SA store: [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/source_prodcat.asp?sourceid=pcc&category=booktracts]]]Pilgrim Covenant Church[/URL] Pay for it online and order the quantities required.

Thankfully our pastor has been given the capacity to preach on local Christian radio 6 days a week, enabling God to use him to reach many more people than those in our own local assembly. 6/5/09 4:59 AM Michael Hranek  | Endicott, New York    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Hmmm? I have been wondering for some time another question: "Does your pastor even PREACH AGAINST the evil things going on in this country and PREACH FOR the things God Himself tells us that we should be doing as His children from the "saftey" of the pulpit in the church?" Perhaps we shouldn't expect 'seminary graduates' to be on the street preaching Jesus Christ and the obedience of faith if they aren't first so convicted themselves to first preach, really preach to their own congregations. 5/30/09 6:20 AM Michael Hranek  | Endicott, New York    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Overcomer wrote: Most pastors don't do any public witnessing, because they simply don't have a passion for the lost,or that's not their "ministry".

Overcomer Do you preach open air? If you don't please prayerfully consider the matter as to God's will for you and what and who He may have you labor in prayer for. I really like the last part of your post: "Oh! if only more men of God would count the cost and with great joy proclaim Christ to a lost and dying world!" Amen and Amen! 5/27/09 4:38 PM Overcomer  | USA    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Most pastors don't do any public witnessing, because they simply don't have a passion for the lost,or that's not their "ministry".

May God raise up more who go out to minister and tell of Jesus Christ. Sadly in many churches there is no outreach in any real sense of the word. No, a pastor is not expected to do everything. But then there is the "big name" pastor who decries church visitation let alone open air preaching. Blessings 5/26/09 12:26 AM coora  | Australia    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Our pastor does not, but other members of the church community do. Why is the pastor expected to do everything? Our church visits backpacker hostels and teenage hangouts with tracts and sometimes free sausage sizzles. We also have regular devotional services in old peoples homes and visit individual rooms when we're there. But no the pastor does not stand on a street corner to preach except at Christmas and Easter when open air song services are held in a park. 5/25/09 8:44 PM Michael Hranek  | Endicott, New York    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Perhaps this survey should have also included something like ... No, But our church goes weekly door to door telling people of Christ with anyone willing to listen. Several Churches in the Southern U.S. still do this.
