New Orleans Summer Mission Trip 2009

New Orleans Summer Mission Trip 2009
Saturday July 25 – Sunday August 2

Preliminary estimated cost will be $350.00 per person (children 12 and under are free), which will include all transportation, room and board through Youth with a Mission, and most meals (about 6 out of 24 meals will not be covered).

We will leave the Dallas area approximately 7:00 AM July 25 and return Sunday evening August 2 around 8:00 PM. This trip will include practical evangelism training as well as working in the neighborhoods with a local church.

Youth groups as well as families are welcome. If you need/want to bring children we have found ways to include them within our activities.

If you cannot come for the entire trip of eight days, you are welcome to join us for however long you can stay with us. We will gladly pick you up at the airport if you decide to fly in. The cost will be prorated on a daily basis of $45 per person for those that will not be able to make the full trip.

Partial scholarships will be made available. If you need help financially, let us know. No one should be left behind due to finances.

Future Events About to Unfold

For the past three years the Lord has instructed me to warn Christians about the coming
destruction of America. My prayer is that the recent economic chaos has helped wake up additional Christians. The Lord has impressed me that there are further events that are
coming our way that will accelerate our nation’s decline.

The following are events that I believe are about to occur. Every member of the body of Christ should seek God on their own in order to prepare for what’s coming. You should never just take the advice of others without it being a confirmation of what the Lord has
already been showing you in His Word.

1. Many Church leaders who ignore the Holy Spirit and fail to prepare their congregations will have their congregations removed (Ezek.11:12).

2. With just a few weeks left before the election, look for demonic forces to work at manipulating events, inside and outside our nation, in order to have an effect on America’s presidential election. Remember that no matter the outcome, our God is in charge.

3. As George Bush leaves office, major disasters are going to occur throughout America. Look for earthquakes and plagues to break out, to name just a few examples. The Lord is very displeased with the way our nation has disrespected President Bush. Although he may have made mistakes, his open proclamation concerning his faith in Christ has held back many disasters and given our nation additional time to repent (see I Pet.2:13-17).

4. Great darkness is coming to our land once the Lord chooses to take Billy Graham home (see 2 Kings 22:20). The Lord will not subject this great man of God to what is headed our way. Once he passes on, expect a darkness to engulf our country. His death will illustrate the Lord’s disconnect from our government. This darkness will be like some kind of foreign invasion where we become economic slaves to a foreign enemy.

5. Prayer meetings should include developing strategies for preaching the Gospel to a non-believing nation. Demon forces will flee from Christians who are preaching the Gospel. Avoid group prayer meetings where the emphasis will be on binding the devil or rebuking demons and principalities. The evil forces that are being unleashed and entering America have been given authority to do so ( read Jer.11:11). Prayer meetings must be a time for Christians to repent for their sins and lack of commitment to share the gospel with non-believers.

6. The Lord is not going to change His mind (see Jer. 4:26-28). Those Christians engaged in “Christian hype” and religious nonsense will be overcome with the chaos that will engulf those in the world. Stay away from such groups or churches. God will give you clear discernment about such groups, if you ask for it. Make sure that you act on what He shows you and move out. Do not try to stay and “convert” any of them. Simply warn them and move on. Look for spiritual leaders, like King David, that the Lord is raising up (I Sam.22:2).

7. Begin to use discernment for where your tithe goes. You are responsible for how you spend your money and that includes the Lord’s tithe. Many church leaders have abused the tithe and have used it to build their own kingdoms (read Mal.3).

8. Revival will take place once the waves of destruction slow down, but it will not be a
material or economic revival in any way. It will be unlike anything our nation has ever seen. Pure holiness will saturate believers-old and new- as we experience His presence.

Summary:

Those who have established a relationship with Jesus Christ should not fear these coming events (read Psalm 91). We need to “set our faces like a flint” and focus on fulfilling our call as believers. As we set our priorities on saving souls and lives, God will provide protection and meet all our needs.

This is the time to seek the Lord. May God grant to you the courage and the wisdom to succeed in proclaiming the gospel in the coming days.

May you continue to trust in Him (Ps.56:11),

Ozzfest 2002 Outreach Video

This video was filmed at one of our outreaches and illustrates the validity of the scriptures as the Apostle Paul quotes the prophet Isaiah in Romans 10:20;

“I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME,
I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME.”

This was the first of many times in the metroplex that we saw such a unity among the approximately 70 participants who came together from various denominations with one purpose: to share the love of God. We passed out over 3,000 tracts, prayed with literally 100’s of people, gave out over 800 hot dogs and bottled waters, and most important of all, witnessed several people give their lives to Christ. One young man who we met early in the evening, prayed with us to rededicate his life to Christ and then began handing out tracts about Jesus!

It’s so exciting to see God’s power where many Christians would least expect it. Many of these concert goers are not thinking about God at all and then all of a sudden “BANG”; they have an encounter with God.

Every Summer we organize several outreaches for secular concerts, like this one, that are held in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Christians from churches around the metroplex join together and share the Gospel with many who would never enter a church building. We hand out tracts, hot dogs and bottled waters while sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with thousands.

We have seen the Lord change lives right before our eyes. If you would like to join or support us, let us know and we’ll keep you informed on upcoming concert outreaches.

Twin Wells Outreach Video

Executing His Word has helped local churches organize apartment complex outreaches where we take the church to the unchurched. We primarily focus on low income neighborhoods where many do not have the ability to “go” to church.

During these outreaches we encounter many children who are being abused or neglected. We have seen the Lord rescue many children from horrifying situations. Join us as we set to prove that His word is true.

“Can a woman forget her nursing child
And have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.”

Isaiah 49:15

Rescuing a Nation: Will You Help?

We now have a group of believers, from churches all over the country, who are ready and willing to enter the most troubled neighborhoods of our nation. As I speak at various churches, the number who wish to join us continues to grow. As the crisis in America grows, so must the laborers.

We have already been working in neighborhoods in Dallas and New Orleans, and are ready to expand our efforts throughout the country. We believe that the Lord desires to send us to New York, California, Detroit and other areas that need to hear and see the Gospel at work.

Our plans include going back to New Orleans this Christmas with further gifts from the body of Christ. As we worked the streets in New Orleans this past summer, we were overwhelmed with the amount of people who were starving, not just spiritually, but physically. We fed hundreds on a daily basis while we were there. We believe that we must go back before Christmas.

We are looking for additional churches and individuals who will make a commitment to sponsor us as missionaries to America. We need your help as we launch out and reach the growing number of Americans who are losing hope.

As you know, trouble continues to increase throughout our land. I believe that there are those who will read this letter who have set aside funds for such a time as this.

We have a team that will go, if you will send us. If you would like to help, you may respond through the contact form or by sending an email to nligon@executinghisword.com. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated.

God bless,
