How To Direct or Host a Local Outreach Event
On The Go Ministries - Keith Cook Evangelistic Association
invites you to an Outreach Training School on "How to Direct
or Host a Local Outreach Event". This Outreach Training School
will be held February 23-24, 2006 at the On The Go World
Outreach Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
This training event is open to any evangelist, pastor, Christian
leader, or youth leader who wants to learn how to have area-wide
events that reach 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, Steve Wingfield,
Keith Cook, and the Proclamation Evangelist Network resources.
Some Scholarships are available.

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. To review this article in it's entirety, please

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
