EVANGELISTIC OUTREACH AT A PLANT!

I have just returned from Gastonia, NC., where once again, God opened the door to preach at Industrial Electroplating Plant. My dear brother in Christ, Walter Prescott invited me to preach the gospel for 4 days, to approximately 70 employees. Walter offers every employee an opportunity to come to the conference “break room” for a 45 minute service; paying them their normal wages while attending the service. Friends, you must know that the vast majority of these men and women do not know the Lord Jesus Christ. This is a tremendous opportunity to plant the ‘gospel seed’ into the lives of many needy sinners. Each day, I had the absolute joy of walking among the men and women inviting them to come to the meeting. I rejoice that each session was wonderfully attended, not only by the men and women of the plant; but also, most importantly, by the Holy Spirit. The Lord blessed me, as I preached a series of 3 messages that I have entitled, “A Journey to the Cross”. Then on Saturday evening, Walter and his family invited all the employees to come to a free meal, in which I had the opportunity to share my testimony of conversion and proclaim the gospel. Bro. Walter writes, ‘Wow! What a blessing that the Lord has brought to each of us, during these days of ministry at IEP. Men and women are talking about the tremendous effect that this meeting has had on their lives. Many are already asking about when you are coming back. Ed, I can tell when I walk throughout plant, that there is a difference in many of our employees. Some told me today, that the messages were deep and convicting; and that they could understand everything that you said. I believe that there will be many lives changed from this meeting. I will keep you posted on the ongoing results!” We give God all the glory and praise, for His mighty activity among us during that week.
