Things You Should Know
Ministry Opportunity
Do you want to impact some young men's lives for all of eternity? It only takes one hour a month! We are looking for someone, or a group of someones, to go to the Britt House, a residential facility for youth offenders, on the 4th Sunday of every month to share the gospel, do a Bible study, and give a testimony.
This is an incredible opportunity to make an impact for the Kingdom with a very small committment of time. If interested contact Gabe at 727-525-4516 or neosurf@hotmail.com

Memory Passage
This is what the LORD says:
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
he will not see prosperity when it comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."
Jeremiah 17:5-8

Things to Examine
Ray Comfort
There is no neutral ground in the battle for souls of men and women. We are either gathering or we are scattering for the Kingdom of God. We have been given clear battle orders. He who reads them cannot but hear the “sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.” (Jeremiah 4:19)
How many sermons do we have to take in before we give out? The average twelve year old Christian has listened to close to 1800 sermons. How many do you think you have listened to? Have they been sermons to exhort you to do the will of God and reach out to the lost? If not, take initiative … “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching … do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 2:4-5)
There goes another minute.
Gone forever.
Go share your faith while you still have time.

We always welcome newcomers!
The Street Evangelism Team meets in the Family Worship Area of Calvary Chapel St. Pete every Friday night from 6:30-7:30 p.m. This time is spent in prayer and intercession for the lost.
After the prayer meeting, participants are given an opportunity to share their faith through street evangelism.
Your continued prayer support is greatly needed, so we also welcome you if you would like to join us just for prayer.
Prayer Requests
- Pray for the recently saved & all those that heard the gospel this week.
- Continue to pray for your lost friends & family. Pray the Lord will convict their hearts & bring them to repentance & trust in Jesus Christ.
- Pray for our Pastors and leaders.
- Pray for workers in the harvest fields - that Christians would share their faith at all opportunities.
- Pray for two other evangelism outreaches: Mike at the courthouse most weekdays and Phyllis at the abortion clinics. (See www.saveourhumans.org for more information)
- Pray for our Team; for boldness, discernment and for witnessing opportunities throughout the week.
