Are you ready?

I want to see people by the &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;millions&lt;/i&gt; coming to Jesus before He returns! I want to see “numbers” of people from every race and religion and from every nation on this planet saved! It’s God’s will that &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;all &lt;/i&gt;be saved! Not everyone will accept his or her salvation, but the harvest of souls that God desires to reap represents large, large &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;numbers&lt;/i&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Giovanni-Book&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Giovanni-Book;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Let’s be honest. We’re all “in it” for the numbers. It just depends on what our “it” is. Your “it” might be your job. At the end of the week when you get your paycheck, the “numbers” reflect the hours you worked and the compensation you receive. If you’re an accountant, a pollster, or a math teacher, you’re in it for the numbers. And if you work for the IRS, you’re definitely in it for the numbers! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Giovanni-Book&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Giovanni-Book;"&gt;Think about someone who’s on a strict diet. Their “it” is calories or pounds. They count how many calories they can have, and they definitely &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;count how many pounds they lose! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;A runner counts how&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Giovanni-Book&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Giovanni-Book;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;many miles he has run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Giovanni-Book&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Giovanni-Book;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;A businessman will let you know how many years he has been&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Giovanni-Book&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Giovanni-Book;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;in business.

This usually gives them more credibility. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;What about churches? They do the same thing. They record the “numbers” in attendance. They plan annual budgets for programs based on the “numbers.” Also, a church will evaluate the success of a meeting based on numbers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Did you know that God is in it for the numbers too? He wrote a Book in the Bible called Numbers! Let’s face it: Numbers are important to God! In John 21:11, the Bible says Peter caught 153 fish! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;God thought “numbers” were so important that He recorded the number of fish Peter caught that day. So let’s not get “all spiritual” when someone sets a goal for souls! God’s desire is that people come to Jesus by the thousands! As believers, we desire to see all of our family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances pulled from the flames of hell (&lt;i&gt;see&lt;/i&gt; Jude 23)! These people represent “numbers.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;One of my favorite quotes says, “We count people because &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;people count&lt;/i&gt;.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Christians have said to me, “Now, brother, you shouldn’t count the number of people you led to the Lord. You shouldn’t make it look like you’re putting another notch on your Gospel belt.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;“Thank you for saying that!” I always reply. “I want my ‘Gospel belt’ so notched up with souls who give their life to Jesus that you can’t even tell anymore that it’s a belt!” &lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My goal is to see as many “numbers” of people go to Heaven as I possibly can! This goal has been the driving force of my ministry. Some have assumed that I’m only it in for the numbers. And do you know what? They’re right!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I once heard a respected minister say, “The only thing you do in life that will matter when you die is what you’ve done for the Lord.” That statement had a profound effect on my life — it still does to this day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What about you? Do you share the dream for souls? Do you share a desire to love what God loves — the “precious fruit of the earth” — the harvest of men’s and women’s souls (&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;see &lt;/i&gt;James 5:7)? If you do, I bet you’re a number-lover too. It really is all about the numbers!&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://rileystephenson.com/its-all-about-the-numbers/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #4bacc6; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent5;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;(Click here to read more.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: KochAntiqua; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4672906567616734052-8697976283550168879?l=rileystephenson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/feeds/8697976283550168879/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4672906567616734052&amp;postID=8697976283550168879' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/8697976283550168879'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/8697976283550168879'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/2011/02/it-really-is-all-about-numbers.html' title='It Really Is All About the Numbers'/><author><name>Riley Stephenson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498117966245518998</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv32RrDo-I/AAAAAAAAARA/Z-rt7FDQHDM/S220/Riley+Stephenson.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672906567616734052.post-1599394359993855768</id><published>2010-07-23T21:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-23T21:29:57.874-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='soul winning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eagle Mountain International Church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winning the lost'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kenneth Copeland Ministries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evangelism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='street ministry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Riley Stephenson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='witnessing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sharing your faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outreach'/><title type='text'>Texarkana Soul Winning Outreach</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TEplt0NaXFI/AAAAAAAAATI/zLLgLLA1OBw/s1600/RSM+In+Texarkana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TEplt0NaXFI/AAAAAAAAATI/zLLgLLA1OBw/s320/RSM+In+Texarkana.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Katherine Barnes of Faith Boot-Camp Ministries invited our team to Texarkana to win the lost. She has been praying over the city even though her hometown is in Mena, Arkansas. We took a group of 15 people from Fort Worth, Texas. On Friday night we went to the local mall and store along the “state line.” We were specifically told not to go to a certain gas station. And guess what? That is where I wanted to go! We also got a tip from a local about a hotel that has drug and sex trafficking going on there! Yes, we made our way over there also!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TEpmjw0PT-I/AAAAAAAAATQ/USBOiZqskwk/s1600/34167_1147839434203_1774107041_291568_7102974_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="118" hw="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TEpmjw0PT-I/AAAAAAAAATQ/USBOiZqskwk/s200/34167_1147839434203_1774107041_291568_7102974_n.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We needed gas, so while we were sitting in the van a car load of girls drive up. They looked at me and motioned for me to come over. I got out of the van and said, “Hey girls can I help you?” (There were six girls in the car.) One girl in the back said, “Yeah, we need money.” I pulled out my wallet and had six one-dollar bills. This was not a coincidence! I gave each one of them a dollar bill. I said, “Hey, what do y’all need this money for?” They said, “Gas.” Right then the Lord told me to fill their tank up with gas. So I said, “Pull over to the pump because the Lord wants to bless you with a tank of gas.” They were shocked! After I filled up their tank, I ministered to them and all six of the girls prayed to receive Jesus for the first time! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;object height="270" style="clear: right; float: right;" width="420"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RXy-r6Ar2Sk&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RXy-r6Ar2Sk&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="270"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were checking out inside, and the Lord led me to ask a lady if she needed healing in her body. She said, “I sure do! I have pain in my feet and legs.” I shared what Mark 16 in the Bible says: “If you believe you will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” So I prayed for her and Jesus took the pain out of her body!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TEpoUvBdolI/AAAAAAAAATY/lpRCNK4y1LM/s1600/Riley+Stephenson+in+Texarkana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="190" hw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TEpoUvBdolI/AAAAAAAAATY/lpRCNK4y1LM/s320/Riley+Stephenson+in+Texarkana.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;On Friday night one of our team members walked into a store in the mall and asked the lady behind the counter if there was anything we could pray with her about. She said she had not had a good night’s sleep in a long time. Our team member shared that the Bible says God will give us “sweet sleep.” This team member prayed and left the store. On Saturday, we stopped by the same store and the girl said, “Last night was the best night’s sleep I’ve had in years!” God confirms His Word!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the weekend we prayed and ministered to people from all walks of life and denominations.

We trained, equipped, and sent out the body of believers on their own personal evangelism journey. We were also joined by Evangelist and Author &lt;a href="http://www.pocketfullofchange.org/"&gt;Cheryle Touchton&lt;/a&gt; of Pocket Full of Change Ministries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwHvpoKCDI/AAAAAAAAASI/3rU4eIGjtwI/s1600/Riley+Stephenson.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" ru="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwHvpoKCDI/AAAAAAAAASI/3rU4eIGjtwI/s400/Riley+Stephenson.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We went to Wal-Mart as we prayed and asked the Lord to open the hearts of the people, and to show us to whom we should talk. Many of the team felt the Lord tell them to call their family members and they saw them commit their lives to the Lord, as well as seeing the Lord answer their prayers. Wednesday, our first night, we prayed with fifteen people; this was a huge celebration and victory for this body of believers because many of them had never shared their faith before. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwdhhNFcyI/AAAAAAAAASY/TfvVVbWojV0/s1600/Torry+Martin+and+Riley+Stephenson.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" ru="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwdhhNFcyI/AAAAAAAAASY/TfvVVbWojV0/s200/Torry+Martin+and+Riley+Stephenson.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwf4BnLJQI/AAAAAAAAASg/lXqYf6zQtZE/s1600/Torry+Martin+and+Riley+Stephenson+sharing+Jesus!.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" ru="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwf4BnLJQI/AAAAAAAAASg/lXqYf6zQtZE/s200/Torry+Martin+and+Riley+Stephenson+sharing+Jesus!.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met, and was able to minister with&amp;nbsp;award-winning actor, screenwriter, &lt;br /&gt;comedian, and&amp;nbsp;author &lt;a href="http://torrymartin.com/"&gt;Torry Martin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwIgu-wZWI/AAAAAAAAASQ/jP1xNy_tgA8/s1600/IMG_0100.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" ru="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwIgu-wZWI/AAAAAAAAASQ/jP1xNy_tgA8/s200/IMG_0100.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwg1xgH-gI/AAAAAAAAASo/OULsRWcpZw0/s1600/IMG_0094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwg1xgH-gI/AAAAAAAAASo/OULsRWcpZw0/s1600/IMG_0094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" ru="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCwg1xgH-gI/AAAAAAAAASo/OULsRWcpZw0/s200/IMG_0094.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the rest of the weekend we moved our attention to the more populous area of Bonnaroo.

As well as witnessing, the Lord made priceless connection between the different denomination believers as we followed our great commission together.

People of all ages, races, cultures are being born again on the streets of Fort Worth! The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is being preached and the love of God is being poured out from the hearts of men and women who have been trained in the word of righteousness. As a result, within the last two weeks, 2752 people have made Jesus the Lord of their life! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few testimonies: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jh3FofZn434&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jh3FofZn434&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday morning we walked into a business with a stack of SWBC flyers in our hand and the manager immediately told us, “You can’t be soliciting in here.” I said, “Ma’am, while we are here, is there anything we can pray with you about?” She said, “Salvation!” We prayed with her right there in the front of the store to receive Jesus! While she was filling out our decision card, we asked her if she needed healing in here body. She said, “Yes, I have diabetes.” We prayed for her and told her to call our prayer line with the testimony! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to the Bus Station and met a lady who was sitting on a bench. We sat down with her and invited her to the meeting. Then we asked her “If you died right now, where would you go?” She said, “Well, I hope Heaven.” We led her in a prayer to receive Jesus! Then we led her in a prayer to receive the Holy Spirit! Then we asked her if she had any pain in her body. She said she had some kind of disease that affects the joints in her arms and legs. We prayed and then asked her to move her arms to see if they felt better. She said, “Yes! My hands do! Let me stand to see what my hip says!” Yes my hip feels better too! She was saved, filled, and healed while waiting for her bus! Glory to God! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nAxXP7C6hGg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nAxXP7C6hGg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As our team walked the streets of Fort Worth this week, one soul winner talked to a man working on a construction site. He was already saved but prayed a prayer of rededication to live a life on fire for God. Then he said, “You need to talk to those construction workers over on the next street.” Our soul winner said, “Okay.” The next day as our team swept the streets with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, this same man named Kevin shouted, “Hey! Did you talk to those workers about Jesus? You need to talk to them! They have a lunch break at noon.” So at noon our soul winning team went over and prayed with the whole group of 10 construction workers to receive Jesus! Hallelujah! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SocDvncBENI/AAAAAAAAAKs/Bf3_oLXHX8A/s1600-h/5728_1182502516391_1043040702_561791_5660300_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370265197237833938" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SocDvncBENI/AAAAAAAAAKs/Bf3_oLXHX8A/s320/5728_1182502516391_1043040702_561791_5660300_n.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 239px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our team jumped on a bus and asked the bus driver, “May we pray a quick prayer of blessing over your bus?” She said, “Sure! But wait a few minutes so that the bus is full of people.” Our team stood by and watched as the bus filled up with people. Right before she left, one of our team members stood on the bus and prayed a prayer of blessing over the bus. Then she shared the scriptures in Romans and led the whole bus in a prayer to receive Jesus! Everyone shouted, “Jesus, come into my heart! Be my Lord and my Savior! Amen!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SocFB5nc2UI/AAAAAAAAAK0/oIKNLHM-1fc/s1600-h/5728_1182503436414_1043040702_561812_2669291_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370266610866903362" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SocFB5nc2UI/AAAAAAAAAK0/oIKNLHM-1fc/s320/5728_1182503436414_1043040702_561812_2669291_n.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 239px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus said to pray to the Lord of the harvest that He would send forth laborers into the harvest field. This year we have equipped so many new laborers to be skillful and effective in ministering salvation. We will continue to go into the streets and preach the Gospel; we will not stop until everyone has heard that Jesus is Lord!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4672906567616734052-6189634797682673077?l=rileystephenson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/feeds/6189634797682673077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4672906567616734052&amp;postID=6189634797682673077' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/6189634797682673077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/6189634797682673077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/2009/08/2009-southwest-soul-winning-evangelism.html' title='2009 Southwest Soul Winning Evangelism'/><author><name>Riley Stephenson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498117966245518998</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv32RrDo-I/AAAAAAAAARA/Z-rt7FDQHDM/S220/Riley+Stephenson.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv4osWvCcI/AAAAAAAAARg/sIrZgpyk2jI/s72-c/Riley+Stephenson+at+Eagle+Mountain+International+Church.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672906567616734052.post-5859604344812101001</id><published>2009-07-11T21:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-30T19:22:46.389-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='soul winning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eagle Mountain International Church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winning the lost'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kenneth Copeland Ministries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evangelism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='street ministry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Riley Stephenson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='witnessing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sharing your faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outreach'/><title type='text'>West Coast Evangelism Conference</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv7wfKCBwI/AAAAAAAAARo/Br0ZduepN1M/s1600/Riley+Stephenson+in+Long+Beach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ru="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv7wfKCBwI/AAAAAAAAARo/Br0ZduepN1M/s320/Riley+Stephenson+in+Long+Beach.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Glory of the Lord shined once again on the streets of Long Beach. Our KCM Evangelism Team partnered with The Sanctuary, our local host church and we hit the streets promoting the WCBC and shared Jesus with everyone in our reach. The Lord also led us to a few local nursing homes to share the love of God. 2188 people prayed the prayer of salvation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few testimonies:&lt;br /&gt;A team member was walking down the street of Long Beach when a lady sitting at a restaurant patio said, “Thank you for smiling at me.” She said, “Your smile blessed me!” The team member stopped and began sharing the love of God with this lady. She shared the scriptures from Romans and this lady prayed to ask Jesus into her heart. The light of Jesus was shining bright on our team member’s face!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Sllmflig8SI/AAAAAAAAAI0/Sje9qmBbD_o/s1600-h/Long+Beach+069.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357425924572770594" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Sllmflig8SI/AAAAAAAAAI0/Sje9qmBbD_o/s400/Long+Beach+069.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 300px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of our team members prayed with a group of 10 young people who said they were all atheists; they all gave their lives to the Lord!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team was also asked to pray for several employees at a nursing home. They said, “We watch Kenneth Copeland on TV every week and are so blessed that his team had come to the nursing home.” They said, “Please pray for our people here and for every one of our employees, that they will be blessed.” As our team laid hands on the staff, the power of God ministered peace, healing and hope to every person! Hallelujah! Glory to God!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SllnO6JIcxI/AAAAAAAAAI8/bnCHoVnmHsk/s1600-h/Long+Beach+090.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357426737557304082" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SllnO6JIcxI/AAAAAAAAAI8/bnCHoVnmHsk/s400/Long+Beach+090.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 300px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While on the beach, one of our team members asked a street performer if she could say a prayer after he was done. He said, “Yes.” When he finished his dance routine, he shouted to the crowd surrounding him, “Hey, don’t leave! This young lady wants to say a prayer.” Our team member shared the wonderful Word of God on salvation and then had the entire crowd repeat the prayer to ask Jesus into their hearts! More than 30 people were saved at that one moment of time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A team member walked up to a guy and said, “Where are you going when you die some day?” He said, “I will not go to Heaven because I have tattoos and piercings.” The team member said, “The only thing that will keep you out of Heaven is not believing on Jesus; just repeat this prayer after me to receive Jesus in your heart.” The man prayed and gave his life to the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team walked around the convention center and prayed with 5 of the employees to receive Jesus. A team member said to an employee, “If you died right now, where you would go?” The employee said, “No one has ever asked me that question. I don’t know where I would go.” Then the team member shared the scriptures from Romans and she began crying and said, “Thank you for sharing this with me.” This employee prayed with the team member and asked Jesus into her heart! Hallelujah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Slln-lgc0ZI/AAAAAAAAAJE/gRJ4Tq3NO_U/s1600-h/Long+Beach+109.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357427556651684242" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Slln-lgc0ZI/AAAAAAAAAJE/gRJ4Tq3NO_U/s400/Long+Beach+109.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 300px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another team member walked up to the table with Long Beach information and asked the gentleman there, “Sir, we are walking around asking everyone a few questions. Where would you go when you die some day?” He said, “I hope to go to Heaven.” The team member read from the Pocket Reference for Soul Winning Card and said, “Repeat this prayer after me.” He prayed to ask Jesus into his heart! The harvest is ripe; people are ready to receive Jesus! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the bus stop, a team member walked up to an older man with a cane. She asked him where he is going when he dies. He said, “I am going down.” The team member led him in the prayer of salvation and then said, “The Bible says in Mark 16 that he who believes shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. May I pray for you?” The man said, “Yes, every day my health gets worse.” The team member said, “Well, I believe that after we pray every day you will get stronger and stronger because of the life of Jesus that is now inside you!” The man walked away with a smile on his face and a spring in his step! Glory to God!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A team member walked up to two men and asked them, “If you died right now, where would you go?” They said, “We are going to Heaven.” Then the team member said, “Well, if God were to say, Why should I let you into Heaven, what would you tell Him?” They said, “Well, we are not sure because we are together.” The team member shared the scriptures from Romans and they both prayed to ask Jesus into their heart. They smiled and said, “Thank you so much!” They believed on the Lord Jesus and were saved!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In front of the Jack in the Box, a team member walked up to two young ladies. She began to ask them where they would go when they die some day. One of the ladies said, “Hey, I prayed with you downtown a few days ago!” The team member turned to the other lady and shared what the Word says and said, “Pray this prayer with me.” She hesitated a little. Her friend (who had already prayed to ask Jesus into her heart a few days earlier) grabbed her hand and said, “I will pray this prayer with you.” Both prayed, “Jesus, come into my heart! Be my Lord and my Savior!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SlloxQR7czI/AAAAAAAAAJM/zArN6Ox-IHo/s1600-h/Long+Beach+111.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357428427126960946" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SlloxQR7czI/AAAAAAAAAJM/zArN6Ox-IHo/s400/Long+Beach+111.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 300px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 2nd street, a team member walked up to a mother and daughter and handed them a flyer, inviting them to the WCBC. As the mother opened the flyer and saw the information about healing school, she said, “That is so funny. I was just talking to my daughter today and wondered where there was a healing meeting.” The team member asked them where they were going when they die some day. They were not sure. They prayed and asked Jesus into their heart, both mother and daughter. Then they said, “We are coming to that healing meeting on Saturday. Thanks so much!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team prayed with people for healing and saw the life of God enter into the bodies of several people! Ankles healed! Backs healed! Depression gone! Many lives set free by the power of God!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4672906567616734052-5859604344812101001?l=rileystephenson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/feeds/5859604344812101001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4672906567616734052&amp;postID=5859604344812101001' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/5859604344812101001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/5859604344812101001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/2009/07/west-coast-evangelism-conference.html' title='West Coast Evangelism Conference'/><author><name>Riley Stephenson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498117966245518998</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv32RrDo-I/AAAAAAAAARA/Z-rt7FDQHDM/S220/Riley+Stephenson.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv7wfKCBwI/AAAAAAAAARo/Br0ZduepN1M/s72-c/Riley+Stephenson+in+Long+Beach.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672906567616734052.post-6144395703749732173</id><published>2009-06-04T11:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-04T11:25:46.611-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='soul winning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eagle Mountain International Church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winning the lost'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kenneth Copeland Ministries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evangelism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='street ministry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Riley Stephenson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='witnessing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sharing your faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outreach'/><title type='text'>It's All About The Numbers</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SigQZEEZWuI/AAAAAAAAAIk/MJTkTKB1CgQ/s1600-h/its-all-about-the-numbers-riley-stephenson.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SigQZEEZWuI/AAAAAAAAAIk/MJTkTKB1CgQ/s400/its-all-about-the-numbers-riley-stephenson.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343538980650048226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's All About The Numbers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Teaching Christians How To Reach the Lost With Results&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Riley Stephenson&lt;br /&gt;When you hear the word “evangelism,” what comes to mind?

This is one of the largest arts and crafts shows held in the Southeast that, this year, attracted over 55,000 people to the city of Kennesaw for the two day event. Harvestfire Church International is a member of the Kennesaw Business Association and has had a booth in the festival for the past four previous years. They had ministered to folks who came by the booth and handed out materials, but never had made any serious attempt to evangelize in the past four years. This was not due to a lack of desire on their part; they just didn’t have the knowledge or training on how to do it effectively. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Sf_nAKb9uuI/AAAAAAAAAIE/P-kCUA1royg/s1600-h/Big+Shanty+Revival+032.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Sf_nAKb9uuI/AAAAAAAAAIE/P-kCUA1royg/s400/Big+Shanty+Revival+032.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332234473817619170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This year was totally different! I spent Thursday and Friday training the congregation and going out to various places around the area to give them some hands on opportunity to put what they learned to work. By the end of Friday night we had led 203 people to the Lord! Harvestfire had set a goal to win 1000 people to Jesus over the weekend and we already had a running start just in the training phase! The church got so excited they couldn’t wait for the festival to start Saturday morning.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Sf_oAgZse7I/AAAAAAAAAIM/1T28BwXgqks/s1600-h/Big+Shanty+Revival+056.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 370px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/Sf_oAgZse7I/AAAAAAAAAIM/1T28BwXgqks/s400/Big+Shanty+Revival+056.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332235579225308082" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We had a team of 22 people working both days of the festival. On Saturday we led 527 people to the Lord for a total for the three days up to that point of 705 people. On Sunday, from noon to 5:00pm we saw another 289 folks pray the prayer of salvation for a grand total for the four days of 1019 people praying the prayer of salvation! God is so awesome!

On Monday March 2nd our evangelism team partnered with a group at Faith Life Church. We hit the streets and invited people to the Campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord led us to the mall where entertainer, Mike Walker was singing," How great thou art". When he finished, he gave us the microphone and we gave an altar call and prayed for salvation and healing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People were saved and healed! One man received Jesus and said his back was hurting. We laid hands on him and prayed. Signs follow the Word and he said, "the pain is gone, the pain is gone." And then he said, "thank you"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lady in the pictures below received healing in her back and knees!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;140 people prayed the prayer of salvation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVg860mVpI/AAAAAAAAAGE/kx_EpOUF2ZI/s1600-h/February+213.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315761534879028882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVg860mVpI/AAAAAAAAAGE/kx_EpOUF2ZI/s400/February+213.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVhcR5bIPI/AAAAAAAAAGM/mLUhYdI9Q2M/s1600-h/February+225.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315762073649225970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVhcR5bIPI/AAAAAAAAAGM/mLUhYdI9Q2M/s400/February+225.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVbhrrCOII/AAAAAAAAAE0/-b6Hahaaas8/s1600-h/2649_1102362232934_1043040702_334025_4545354_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVisHmRPVI/AAAAAAAAAGU/cehJvuGl5fw/s1600-h/February+227.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315763445274066258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVisHmRPVI/AAAAAAAAAGU/cehJvuGl5fw/s400/February+227.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4672906567616734052-755037246271927190?l=rileystephenson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/feeds/755037246271927190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4672906567616734052&amp;postID=755037246271927190' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/755037246271927190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/755037246271927190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/2009/03/glory-is-shining-in-branson.html' title='The Glory Is Shining in Branson!'/><author><name>Riley Stephenson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498117966245518998</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv32RrDo-I/AAAAAAAAARA/Z-rt7FDQHDM/S220/Riley+Stephenson.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/ScVlvsEArrI/AAAAAAAAAGc/a-Mymy0cs00/s72-c/February+211.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672906567616734052.post-6902185446102646670</id><published>2009-02-22T07:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T07:47:46.536-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='soul winning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eagle Mountain International Church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winning the lost'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kenneth Copeland Ministries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evangelism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='street ministry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Riley Stephenson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='witnessing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sharing your faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='outreach'/><title type='text'>IGNITING THE FIRE OF EVANGELISM!</title><content type='html'>Tonight Kelly shared from Reinhard Bonnke's book, "Evangelism by Fire." The first chapter, titled, "When Arson is Not a Crime," talks about the role of an evangelist, which is to light a fire in the human spirit. This is what we do when we go out to the into the highways and byways; we light a fire in the human spirit. There should be fire in those who witness and work! Fire in those who preach! Fire in the truth we preach! &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;One lady named Christine spoke up . . . this was her first time to Friday Night Evangelism. She said, "Several months ago, I was at a meeting and someone prophesied over me that I would be an 'arsonist.' I didn't know what that meant, but I knew he was talking about evangelism. I came tonight not knowing what to expect. This is confirmation that the Lord is training me to light a fire in the lives of people!!!!!" Hallelujah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SaFxDzo4NiI/AAAAAAAAADU/JPWftsSaQuc/s1600-h/christine.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 253px; height: 190px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SaFxDzo4NiI/AAAAAAAAADU/JPWftsSaQuc/s320/christine.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305646146234365474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christine, igniting the fire of evangelism, in the hearts of these two ladies.

It is so easy all fear is gone!” – Eric B.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I used the system of soul wining that you have taught and today I lead a person to the lord I should have been doing it this way for ever, I am Glad God told you how to do it and that you taught others what God has shown you.” - Chuck N. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PASTOR BOB FROM SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNrW9Hyh_I/AAAAAAAAACQ/h2Dx9BZyvV8/s1600-h/pastor+bob.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNrW9Hyh_I/AAAAAAAAACQ/h2Dx9BZyvV8/s320/pastor+bob.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279181230316881906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He drove 18 hours to come to the soul winning training in Long Beach. He had been looking for a way to reach his community in Utah. He had discovered that debating theology and doctrine does not work! His heart to reach the people compelled him to come to Long Beach His goal for the week: to read from the “Pocket Reference for Soul Winning Card” to prove that it either works or doesn’t. Pastor Bob comes from an engineering background and he believes that something must be tested to see if it works After experiencing such frustration in witnessing in Utah, he was looking for a better way. After one day of soul winning in Long Beach, Pastor Bob led 38 people to the Lord. He commented, “This card works! The Word of God speaks to a person’s spirit man and he gets saved! I am taking this back to Utah and we are going to reach our community for Jesus Christ!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pastor Marie said, “Going out today has caused me to see people different, each person has a soul. Everyone needs Jesus.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BO AND SINGI FROM OKLAHOMA CITY &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNu-z8WV_I/AAAAAAAAACo/wp7CHFOF6jY/s1600-h/bo+and+singi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 207px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNu-z8WV_I/AAAAAAAAACo/wp7CHFOF6jY/s320/bo+and+singi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279185213582628850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bo and Singi came from Oklahoma City to learn how to win souls! Singi came from a Buddhist background. In fact, when she became a Christian years ago, her family disowned her. The one desire of Singi’s heart was to see her mother saved. After witnessing to many, many people on the streets of Long Beach one day, Singi made a very important phone call to a Christian friend who lives in the same town as her mother. With the “Pocket Reference for Soul Winning Card” in hand, Singi read from the card with tears streaming down her face. She told her friend to translate the card into her mother’s language and go to her mother’s house immediately. You see, Singi’s mother is dying. Singi wants to see her mother in Heaven some day. About 30 minutes later, Singi’s phone rings. It’s her Christian friend. She says, “Singi, your mother prayed the prayer to ask Jesus into her heart.” We all rejoiced with Singi, as the angels in Heaven were rejoicing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHAWN FROM SACRAMENTO, CA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNq6NNjewI/AAAAAAAAACI/s6EtqmPFJTs/s1600-h/Shawn.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNq6NNjewI/AAAAAAAAACI/s6EtqmPFJTs/s320/Shawn.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279180736419822338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shawn came from Sacramento, California, to become a more on-fire soul winner! As he walked the streets of Long Beach, the Lord used him to minister not only salvation, but also healing! He is taking the compassion of the Lord and the fire for souls back to his church in Sacramento. Glory to God!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shawn shared, “In Mark 16, the Bible says that he who believes shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Do you have any pain in your body?” The gentleman said that his leg was in pain. Shawn reached down and laid his hand on the man’s leg. Afterwards, the man began moving his leg and said the pain was gone! Hallelujah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I've been crying out to God for over the past few years for supernatural outlets to preach the gospel and win the lost for Jesus Christ…Through Riley's ministry, God has allowed me to pray for other's to receive their healing as a result. By simple BELIEVING and quoting what the word says, God's word cannot return to us void.” - Shawn H. - Antelope, Ca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNtF8CXsqI/AAAAAAAAACY/A6kBHxXezX8/s1600-h/adonei.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 207px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/SUNtF8CXsqI/AAAAAAAAACY/A6kBHxXezX8/s320/adonei.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279183136991195810" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 9 YEAR-OLD ADONEI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This 9-year-old girl ran throughout the streets of Long Beach talking to every person she saw. She would say, “Excuse me. I have a few questions to ask you.” Every person stopped to hear what this young girl had to say. As she shared the scriptures from Romans, each person’s heart opened to hear the Gospel preached from this little girl. Old and young people gave their hearts to the Lord! She kept saying, “I want to share this card with everyone!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a woman prayed to ask Jesus into her heart, Adonei asked, “Do you have any pain in your body?” The woman said, “Yes, my stomach has been bothering me.” Adonei reached out her hand and laid it on this woman’s stomach. Then she began to pray, “Thank you Lord Jesus for healing this woman’s stomach. Amen.” Afterwards, this woman said, “The pain is gone!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can reach out in your world!

I want to share with you the approach I use. This approach produces successful results every time! Now you have to realize that it is not you that causes the salvation. It is not you that has to make something happen. Jesus told us to go and tell the Good News!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Initially, when you see someone, smile. Can you smile? Get up, look in the mirror, and smile. I’ve heard it said that a smile improves you face value. So when you see someone, smile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The next thing I do is ask them if they live in the area. If they say yes, then I ask them if they go to church in the area. Then I ask them the following: “If you died today, where would you go?” If they say Heaven, I ask them, “Why God would let you in?” If they say they don’t know or have another answer other than Jesus is their Lord and Savior, I share with them the following scriptures from my “pocket new testament.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Romans 3:23 (New International Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;For all have sinned. . . . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Romans 6:23 (New International Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Romans 10:13 (New International Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;After I have shared these scriptures with them, I extend my hand and tell them to pray this prayer aloud with me: (I do not ask them if they are ready to pray) Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus died on the Cross for me and rose again. I give You my life. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. Amen. If they were already saved, I tell them that Paul told Timothy to “do the work of an evangelist.” They can do the same.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Ask Questions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Do you live in the area?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Do you go to church in the area?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;If you died right now, where would you go?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;If God were to say, “Why should I let you in?” what would you tell Him? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The Bible Reads: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Romans 3:23 – “All have sinned.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Romans 6:23 – “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Romans 10:13 – “Whosoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The Prayer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus died on the Cross for me and rose again. I give You my life. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. Amen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;You can use a tract to share the Good News with people. I wrote a tract called, “You Are Loved!” It has also produced successful results in witnessing to people. I would like to share this tract with you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;God loves you! Love never gives up! God’s love for you endures through every circumstance—no matter what you have done in the past. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:19 that God is no longer counting people’s sins against them. When God sent Jesus to die on the Cross, He paid the price for our sin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;You are forgiven! The only sin that will keep you out of Heaven is not believing in Jesus. All you have to do to know you will go to Heaven when you die is: Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Pray this prayer: Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus is Your Son. You sent Him to pay the price for my sin. I believe you raised Him from the dead and He is Lord. Today, I make Him my Lord. Jesus, come into my life!As you can see, I use different ways to share my faith. The best way is the one you will use! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;To download a “Pocket Reference for Soul Winning” card go to my website &lt;a href="http://www.rileystephenson.com/"&gt;http://www.rileystephenson.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4672906567616734052-7731691284551573266?l=rileystephenson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/feeds/7731691284551573266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4672906567616734052&amp;postID=7731691284551573266' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/7731691284551573266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4672906567616734052/posts/default/7731691284551573266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rileystephenson.blogspot.com/2008/11/win-someone-to-jesus-today.html' title='Win Someone to Jesus Today!'/><author><name>Riley Stephenson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498117966245518998</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv32RrDo-I/AAAAAAAAARA/Z-rt7FDQHDM/S220/Riley+Stephenson.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DA7qM8XxHNg/TCv-tTQeiuI/AAAAAAAAARw/GOv_nFKo2ps/s72-c/Riley+Stephenson+in+Rogers,+AR.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
