Hollywood
I preached in Hollywood on two different occasions this trip, both were on Saturday's. The first Saturday I preached for about four hours as Jeff passed out tracts and talked to people.

The second time I preached for about two and one half hours. Both times there were tons of people as usual here on Hollywood and Highland. The picture to the left is me preaching. You can get an idea of how many people cross the street on this intersection.

Hollywood proved to be uneventful for the most part although there are masses of people, mostly tourists that come here. As I have stated in times past, this is a seed sowing endeavor and if you keep that in mind this is a great place to preach. Just down the street from us here are the many spectacles and sights that you would expect to find.

Burbank
Like Hollywood I went to Burbank on two occasions. The first night, despite Jeff's injury we went to a Burbank shopping mall and I preached while Jeff passed out tracts and talked to people. We met a man named Ian who was preaching the Gospel as well. We worked with him the entire evening and the friends of Jeff never showed until we were ready to go. Jeff finally got some new band aids.

The next night just for kicks we went back to Burbank and met a group of people that were set up preaching and handing out tracts. Jeff knew one of the guys and he eventually let me preach. I felt the message went smooth and there was one guy in particular that was listening for a long time before he went back in to where he worked. He had a blue shirt on and wore glasses - that's how I remember him since I never got his name. (pic to the right) It was a well spent evening.

This shopping mall and theatre is a well-covered area for evangelism and we had the privilege of joining the many regular Christians that come out here. Burbank like many other areas here in Southern California has lots of people.

After grabbing a bite to eat, it was on to a mall in Burbank where we met up with Tony “the Lawman” Miano. Tony a retired Sheriff’s deputy also is a chaplain and director of Ambassador’s Alliance, a Living Waters Ministry (Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron). We preached and talked to people there for the rest of the evening before getting back to Jeff’s house late. As I was preaching about the genealogy of Jesus Christ and His virgin birth a Jewish man took me to task. Tony pulled him aside a talked to him for awhile to no avail. Tony gathered several youth around as he asked a young man how he thought he was going to heaven. It was awesome to see this witnessing tactic Tony uses. There were several other youth hanging out and there were conversations about the Lord as usual. Jeff talked to a middle eastern man for quite awhile.

Sunday morning Jeff took me to meet Chris and go to his Church which is Grace Community Church. John MacArthur did the teaching at the service we went to. They had a full choir and small orchestra It is a huge Church. Before service began we were looking at a tract and tape table when we met Jonathon. He invited us to an evangelism meeting after service. We went and they feed us lunch (cool). After their meeting, we all went out and witnessed for the Lord. Some of the group went to hospitals and others to the mall. Our group went on the streets of course. We went to North Hollywood outside the subway. I preached for an hour or so there before we had to go. Jeff and Chris dropped me off at the airport.
