Street Preaching Right Across From A Mosque Part 02

Brothers Landon Thurman and Hood Theologian visited La Mirada, California, to share the life-changing message of the Gospel on a busy street corner, situated directly across from a mosque. Our mission was to reach out to the community and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to the many drivers waiting at the red light, those filling their gas tanks, and individuals entering the mosque for their daily prayers. Empowered by our love and concern for our neighbors in La Mirada, we communicated the urgent message to flee from the impending wrath that comes as a result of sin. As stated in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), and it is essential to recognize the consequences of our actions against a God who is good, holy, righteous, and just. His nature demands that sin be punished. Yet, amidst this reality, we shared the Good News: Jesus Christ has come to rescue sinners. As John 3:16 beautifully puts it, “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This is the hope we extended to everyone who passed by, urging them to turn away from their sins and look to Jesus Christ, the God-Man, for their salvation before it is too late. Throughout our time there, we witnessed a few individuals stop by our table to take literature that detailed the message of the Gospel, while many others walked by, visibly encouraged by the public proclamation of the truth. We quoted Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus’ Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” This drove home the importance of our mission that day. As we cried out to the lost, our hearts were filled with compassion for those who have not yet experienced the grace freely offered through Christ that we have been given. We implored them to consider the message of salvation, knowing that it is a matter of eternal significance. Please join us in prayer for all who heard our message, that their hearts may be softened and their minds opened to the truth of the Gospel. We trust that God’s Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11) and that, through the power of His Spirit, lives may be transformed. God bless.
