This training event is open to any evangelist, pastor, Christian leader,

the masses for Christ. Practical instruction and relevant application
will be given by instructors who actually help real evangelists and evangelistic
pastors host and hold modern day festivals and crusades. Materials utilized
in this training event include resources from Billy Graham, Luis Palau,

Proclaiming Christ
The Steve Wingfield Evangelistic Association has scheduled three crusades
for 2006 and is working toward adding one or two more in the near future.
This year's first event will take place from May 10-14
in Jennersville, Pennsylvania. The Steve Wingfield Festival at
Jennersville will feature a blend of different musical styles over the
five evenings and a wealth of activities for the youth of Chester County
and surrounding area. Steve Wingfield will deliver a fresh and powerful
message each night.
From June 21-25, the people of the
Martinsburg, Pennsylvania area will experience Encounter Festival with
Steve Wingfield on the grounds of North Bedford High School in Loysburg.
Both Pennsylvania crusades are return invitations to communities that
held Encounters in the late 1990's.
The third major outreach will be SWEA's first held in a state capital.
First State Fallfest in Dover, Delaware will be held at the Delaware State
University Football Arena from October 6-8.

Simple Conversations Produce Eternal Results
Too often we measure conversions for success in evangelism, that is God's
territory to change a heart. A more Biblical way to measure success is
by simply have conversations with people about Christ and His truths.

Metro Manila Franklin Graham Festival
The Metro Manila Franklin Graham Festival is scheduled for February
2-5, 2006. It is time to see what God will do as His Word is proclaimed
through song and the spoken word and then the preservation stage begins.
Scores are coming to Christ as several churches and individuals are being
motivated by Operation Andrew with some being baptized. Clearly we are
seeing a revival in evangelism here. This is the grace of God in operation
and proclamation evangelism at its best (Eph. 4:11-12). An evangelist
produces evangelism amongst Saints.
The vision of the MMFGF is that:
"The greatest number of people be MOBILIZED
to HEAR the GOSPEL and be invited to RESPOND,
to be DISCIPLED and INTEGRATED to the local church
to WORSHIP and SERVE the Lord"
Please intercede for Franklin Graham, the festival team members, local
church leaders, and the thousands of individuals who will find new life
through faith in Christ and repentance.

Evangelists and Church Leaders Network Together
God is moving in great and mighty ways in the Philippines. On June
4-18, 2006 we will host the Asian Advanced Institute for Evangelists
(AAIE). So far, we have received over 40 applicants from at least 9 countries.
Most of the applicants are from inside the 10/40 window, and have less
then 2% Christian population. For more information on AAIE or to register
for the institute, please visit www.heralds.org/aaie/apply.php.
We covet your prayers as we have a dire need for evangelistic organizations
and senior evangelists to take a more proactive role in training and developing
the evangelists of the twenty-first century. Many of these have wonderful
access to the Church and the resources to bless it. It is good to have
weeklong massive conferences like the Amsterdam conferences for evangelists.
But it would be best to invest in smaller groups, like our Lord did, so
that there will be a multiplied ongoing outreach instead of only one evangelist
preaching. This is slow hard work, but will pay off on the long run.
It is impossible for a few evangelists to saturate all the major cities
of the world with the gospel. Furthermore, just as much God gave "some
pastors," He also gave "some evangelists" (Eph. 4:11),
not "one" or a "few evangelists". But the gospel should
be proclaimed and the harvest reaped through an army of evangelists. The
evangelist is a never a substitute for the vibrant personal witness of
every believer who knows the Lord.

Kenya Festival and Street Crusades
The Keith Cook Evangelistic Association and On The Go Ministries held
a massive outreach effort in Metropolitan Nairobi, Kenya in conjunction
with Shad Williams of Global Field Evangelism and Phil Eyster of Eagle
Projects International. Together, the proclamation evangelists teams ministered
in Festivals, Crusades, Street Meetings utilizing the Jesus Film, Open
Air Meetings, and local Churches. The teams saw over 70,000 inquiries
for Christ. Pray for massive follow-up and discipleship efforts that are
currently underway.
Keith Cook and On The Go Ministries next international Festival and Campaign
will be in Uganda, June 24-July 3, 2006.
For more information on past and future events of On The Go Ministries,
please email info@onthego.org.
We still have a few openings on our Uganda Festival and Campaign Team,
but we need to hear from you soon.

School of Discipleship
In 2003, the Bob Boyd Evangelistic Association Team traveled to Kenya
to conduct an evangelism campaign. While there, they helped to start a
School of Discipleship with Kenyan John Matei. The school began with about
200 children attending, and two and a half years later, John reports that
the school has grown to over 10,000.
The BBEA has sent several teams back to Kenya to work with the School
of Discipleship, and in a recent letter received from John Matei, it was
reported that the School of Discipleship now has over 10,000 children
and youths in ministry meeting weekly in various zones for discipleship
class and more than 6,000 adults converts in different churches.
Please pray for John Matei and each young person and adult who is attending
the School of Discipleship that God will continue to open doors for the
Gospel to be shared and that more workers will be called out into the
harvest.

Need Ideas for Reaching Seekers and Skeptics?
Here's an article from Rusty Wright's website to help equip believers
in evangelism:
A Campus Atheist Finds What He Wants. A campus atheist enjoyed arguing
with believers and mocking their faith. His friend's loving response plus
some divine intervention prompted him to reconsider his skepticism. His
exciting story holds important lessons for gently nudging your friends
toward faith. http://enrichmentjournal.ag.org/200502/200502_116_campus.cfm
