A Healing Crusade Stirs Faith in San Antonio — Winter 2009

Highlighting several outreach minis- ‘Spiritual advisors’ saw 43 come to Christ in first outreach tries...

• Foretell The Future Outreach - Souvenir hairband inspires Richard and Linda Lantz as they are on an invasion team to Belize. Richard saw his wife wearing the hairband, thinking she looked like a gypsy, and said, “Hey, why don’t we do a futuretell at the flea market?

Back home, he ran the idea by Pastor Rubi. Given the okay the couple and others went out to a local flea market and set up shop, hanging a banner over the entrance that read, “Fortell the future - spiritual advisors.” The women dressed up as gypsies, they were ready to go. God touched and saved 43 souls that day. Pastor Todd also suggested they set up in a parking lot near the church using the banner, a canopy, and some old fabric from a puppet show booth. They were able to minister, and saw 15 people come to Christ the first time and 14 the second. The whole process is very simple. People want to know the future, so when we look them in the eye and tell them, “You are going to die! reality sets in. They drop their guard, open their hearts and we are able to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ.

• Bringing revival home from Belize.

• Fall Harvest Festival- We had a tremendous time at our festival organized by our children’s church leaders, Paul and Barb Hart, and other brethren. We had 11 game booths set up and operated by our Bible study groups, two food booths, two moon bouncers, one stage for our bands and periodic altar calls, and The Foretell booth where we had 43 souls make a decision for Christ. We provided an alternative for our community to the typical Halloween night. We had many families and individuals come through and the privilege to minister to all and pray with some.

• “The Crypt”-” The Real Haunted House”- Brother Josh Steele and many faithful saints put numerous hours of work, makeup, and effort. In the three nights that we ran the haunted house we had more than 500 people go through. Many visitors made the comment that this haunted house is different, that it caused them to think about life and death.

We had scenes with real life situations and circumstances - violence, abuse, guilt, shame, hatred. At the end they came to an area prepared with chairs, preachers, and altar workers.

Several men took turns preaching and bringing souls to a decision. Out of this evangelistic tool we had 103 souls saved. We give God all the honor and glory for all that He is doing. Please continue to pray for us as we press on for Jesus Christ.
