ON THE STREETS OF MANTI

There are not enough words to describe the streets of Manti.

We have people of all ages, all denominations, all methods, all exposures to Mormonism from Ex-LDS to recently "noticed" them. They bring scriptures, they hold signs, they talk to people one on one or in large groups one on 10. They have studied Mormonism more than most Mormons. They know The Word better than most Christians. They love these people as people and just want to reach them. They love the Lord, and recognize that his ways of reaching people were not always soft and politically correct. They are moved with compassion as they look over this crowd. I've never been in such a large group of people gifted with intercession and evangelism.

There is a city street that is barricaded off right next to the temple. The Temple is on one side, a city park and an LDS church building are on the other side of the street. The street is where the Christian teams pray while people stare at them, sing praises while people laugh at them, share information while people fire off questions at them, stand while people scream at them. What is our faith if we don't share it? How much do you know about what you believe if you haven't been asked questions about it?

The hearts of the teams are so broken for these people. They spend the morning praying for them and learning more and more from the LDS books about what they believe and the contrast. I'll write more when I can.

Oh... and Believers are outnumbered by LDS 1000 to 1. BUT, if 1 can put 1000 to flight and 2 can put 10,000 to flight, we're right where The Lord would have us.

WORD for the day: WOW!
