Once again the Lord is taking an army to the streets of New Orleans to share The Good News with a very troubled neighborhood.

The mission is clear: the Lord wants to replace the violence with His Peace, the despair with His Hope, and neglect with His Presence.  He is going to crush the works of the devil because our God is a mighty God.

The Lord utters His voice before His army. Surely His camp is very great.  For strong is the one who carries out His word.  The day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, and who can endure it? Joel 2:11

Are you one of those who will join with us as we pursue transforming a neighborhood from darkness to His marvelous Light?

He is calling His servants from around the country and appointing us as a covenant to the people of New Orleans, to bring light to the Eighth and Ninth Ward, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeons, and release those who dwell in darkness from the prison. (See Isaiah 42:6, 7).

The Lord has been crying over the sins of this community.  He has been weeping over the death and destruction of His children. I hear Him declaring through His Word, “enough is enough, repent and turn to me for I love you and will forgive you and bring restoration to you and your family.”

Then the Lord will be zealous for His Land, and will have pity on His people. And the Lord will answer and say to His people, Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine, and oil.  And you will be satisfied in full with them. And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations. Joel 2:18, 19

Here is a list of the strategies for Operation Nola Fire:

1. Door to door street evangelism in one of the most troubled neighborhoods in our nation.
2. Daily barbeques in front of Abiding Temple: feeding hundreds with food and the Lord’s message of hope and plan of salvation.
3. Sending out teams of business men and women into the neighborhood, visiting dozens of businesses and community leaders in order to share the Gospel, and pray for their businesses and neighborhood.
4. Following the church barbeque, evening revival and worship services where we will bring many into the church who would never go to church.
5. Ministry to children in the local park: horseback riding, puppet shows, games, and sharing Jesus with hundreds of kids who never get a chance to go to church or hear about Jesus.
6. Evening career classes where guest speakers will teach the proper way to conduct business and obtain successful jobs God’s Way.
7. An outdoor neighborhood concert, praising God and allowing the Holy Spirit to draw the drug addicts, prostitutes, and gangs into the presence of God.
8. Practical physical work projects: repairing walls, building fences and fixing anything that Pastors Marc and Angie Smith need to have done.
9. The final day concludes with a Mighty Neighborhood March where we march through the neighborhood gathering the neighbors and bringing them back to the church for a Message from God, a Pancake Dinner, and distribution of Gifts from The Father – food and clothes for those in need.

Is God calling you to be part of this mission project?  What is He speaking for you to do?

Is time for you to enter the streets as His Ambassador, or work with the children at the neighborhood park?

Is God calling you to part of the worship team or teams?

You could be part of the team of business men and women who will visit the neighborhood businesses or perhaps you could help build a fence or repair a wall.

Would you become part of our team of intercessors who will help prepare the way?

Finally, maybe God is speaking to you about helping us finance this outreach.  You may go to our website and donate online at www.executinghisword.com or you may send your offering directly to:

Once again we are headed to New Orleans for Mardi Gras Thursday February 11 and will return February 17. For many of us this is an outreach we have participated in for over twenty years and, for some, it will be their very first time.

WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS.  I am asking for those of you who plan on praying for us, please let me know so I can place you on a list that I will provide regular updated prayer requests.  The spiritual battle for this outreach is intense and we really appreciate those who pray for us.

Would you take a moment right now and pray for our team?

1. For  our physical health and strength.

1. For our families  protection while we are gone.

1. For our financial needs to be met.  Many are going that are struggling financially.

1. For the leadership to have the Mind of God  as decisions are made.

1. For a mighty move of God where many are saved, delivered and restored.

God Bless and please let me know if you will commit to praying for us as we take the gospel to New Orleans.

Frisco Reach Out: Joy of Christmas

Saturday December 12, 2009
The Word Center
7090 Oak Street
Frisco, TX 75034
6:30 AM – 11:30 AM

On December 12, 2009, Frisco Reach Out will host it’s first annual Christmas event. They will be giving new toys, canned goods, non-perishable food items, clothing and medical care to the downtown community and needy families

For more info visit http://friscoreachout.com

Operation Care Dallas: Christmas Gift 2009

Saturday December 19, 2009
10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

On December 19, 2009, Operation Care Dallas will host the nation’s largest Christmas Party for the homeless. In this time of financial crisis, the need to reach out to help the homeless is greater than ever before.

To help out you will need to complete the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Training at http://fgbt.org (site requires that you register with them before beginning training).

For more info visit http://www.operationcaredallas.org

We will be leaving for New Orleans this coming Saturday, July 25 and will return August 2. I am calling all our friends and coworkers in Christ to remember us in your prayers. We will be working with Pastors Marc and Angie Smith from Abiding Temple.

It looks like we will have a total of about 35 coming with us this year. We have 8 people who have not been able to raise all the funds needed. The break even cost, per person, is $400.00. I have made the decision that everyone who wants to come with us to share their faith is coming, regardless of funds. Some of the young people who want to go, come from families who do not know the Lord. Some do not have any support or encouragement from their own family. I look at this as an opportunity for the Lord to strongly impact the lives of these young people, who want to serve God, for years to come.

If you would like to help out financially, I can think of no better place to plant a seed. We will not only be working the streets and feeding hundreds daily, we will be training young people on how to share their faith.

To those of you who have already helped, thank you so much. If you would like to contribute and have not done so, you may pay with a credit card, through paypal, at our web site; www.executinghisword.com or you may send us your gift to:

Executing His Word
P.O. Box 294245
Lewisville, Texas 75029

Thanks for your support and please remember to pray for us,

Nelson Ligon

Even our mercies, like roses, have their thorns. Men may be drowned in prosperous seas as easily as in rivers of affliction. Our mountains are not too high, and our valleys are not too low for temptations: Trials lurk at every turn. Everywhere, above and below, we are confronted and surrounded with danger. Still no shower falls unpermitted from the threatening cloud; every drop has its order before it arrives on the earth.

The trials that come from God are sent to prove and strengthen our graces and immediately illustrate the power of divine grace, to test the genuineness of our virtues and to add to their energy.

Our Lord in His infinite wisdom and superabundant love sets such a high value upon His people’s faith that He will not protect them from those trials by which faith is strengthened. You would never have possessed the precious faith that now supports you if the trial of your faith had not put you through the fire. You are a tree that never would have rooted as well if the wind had not rocked you to and fro and made you take a firm hold upon the precious truths of God’s gracious covenant.

Worldly ease is a great enemy to faith; it loosens the joints of holy zeal and snaps the sinews of sacred courage. The balloon never rises until the cords are cut; affliction provides this service for believing souls. While the wheat sleeps comfortably in the husk, it is useless to us; it must be threshed out of its resting place before its value can be known.

Thus it is good that the Lord tests the righteous, for it causes them to grow rich toward God.

- Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Rescue And Recovery Training Conference

NOTE: NEW TIME & LOCATION
Saturday June 27, 2009
5:00 PM – 8:00 PM at The Word Center

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.” Psalm 12:5

We will again meet at The Word Center in Frisco for worship, teaching, and a round table discussion. Following the teachings and discussion we will have a time of fellowship along with details regarding the upcoming outreach in New Orleans and within the metroplex.

Childcare will be provided as well as a time of prayer and worship. The conference is FREE but an offering will be taken to help replenish our evangelistic storehouse.

The Word Center is located at 7090 Oak Street Frisco, TX 75034
Mark your calendar – Saturday May 27, 2009.

We are heading to New Orleans for our third straight summer July 25 – August 2, 2009. After going to New Orleans during Mardi Gras for over 2o years, the Lord has called many of us to help Pastors Marc and Angie Smith spread the gospel throughout the neighborhood surrounding their church.

While the church was restored after Hurricane Katrina, the surrounding neighborhood continues in physical, emotional and spiritual devastation.

We have seen God do amazing things the past two summers and realize that there is much more to be done.

You can be a part of this unique opportunity and see God restore gang members, drug addicts, prostitutes and the homeless to a relationship with their Creator.

On this trip you will:
•    Participate in daily prayer meetings, testimonies and Biblical evangelistic training
•    Work the neighborhood streets as we share the gospel with hundreds of individuals who have lost hope and are seeking help
•    Work with children, at the church, as the rest of the group works he streets
•    Participate in Barbeques as we daily feed hundreds with free food and drinks
•    Experience special revival services with incredible worship and powerful preaching
•    See lives changed by the power of God because you made the decision to rescue those who are perishing

This outreach will leave an incredible impact on your life as you witness the power of God manifest firsthand.

Your Involvement

Witnesses
No experience necessary – just a desire to share Jesus with a lost and dying world.
Intercessors
We need committed believers to pray for us.  If you are interested, let us know so that we may give you specific prayer requests.
Financial Supporters
This trip will require supplies, crafts for the children, food for workers and for the neighborhood barbeques at the church.

Opportunity

This trip is designed to train individuals on how to share their faith, one-on-one with hundreds of  non-believers.

Youth are encouraged to come as we have seen God call many into the ministry.

Families are welcome. We will have plenty of opportunities for young children to learn how to minister to others by:

•    Helping at the church
•    Serving food
•    Passing out toys and clothes
•    Watching their parents serve Jesus Christ

You do not have to be a Street Preacher to serve Jesus on this outreach:

•    We will need help with children’s ministry at the church
•    We are looking for those who will help cook and distribute food at the barbeques
•    We will need help distributing clothes, toys, and gifts
•    Whatever your gifts, we will put you to work

Registration

Total cost per person is $400.00 for 9 days. This includes:

•    Room and board for eight nights at the YWAM home (sleeps approximately 55)
•    Transportation for the entire trip– renting vans, gas, and insurance
•    All meals except going and coming home.  You will need personal money for food on Saturday July 25 and Sunday August 2
•    Supplies needed for outreaches– tracts, gifts and food for the community, etc.

Due to a limited amount of space on vans and at YWAM, we are asking for a $100.00 non-refundable registration fee by June 30, 2009. Full payment will need to be made by July 20, 2009.

A limited amount of scholarships will be available depending on need. You may request one by contacting Nelson.

Those who wish to be part of the outreach but cannot be gone nine days are welcome to join us for the last four days. Cost for Thursday – Sunday is $180.00 with your own transportation (we will be happy to shuttle you to and from the airport).

About Executing His Word

Executing His Word is a faith-based ministry whose primary purpose is to teach Christians how to effectively share their faith.  We are also engaged in numerous evangelistic outreaches throughout the year as well.  We purposely try to find large groups of predominately secular audiences in order to share the Gospel.  New Orleans during Mardi Gras, city festivals, low-income projects and apartments, and secular music concerts are just a few examples of the type of venue we seek for ministry.

About Nelson Ligon

Nelson Ligon, founder of Executing His Word, has been taking the Gospel to nonbelievers for over 25 years. Witnessing to neighbors and establishing neighborhood festivals are just a few of the training events he has done and will do for your church.

Over the weekend David Wikerson, founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York, delivered this word that echos what many, including myself, have been saying for the past several years now. While he mentions this calamity coming to New York City, areas of New Jersey and Connecticut, and major cities all across America; David Wilkerson also says, “There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide.”

His blog was updated today with further information regarding how the righteous should respond. In it he points to Exodus 14:13-14 which states:

“And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will show you today…The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace”

My friends we are at a point in time that we cannot turn back from. I urge each one of you to seek God personally concerning this word. We at Executing His Word will be holding a Rescue And Recovery Training Conference each month as a preparation for the season we are entering. Our conference is completely free and will offer you:

• The ability to survive America’s meltdown
• Insight into personal finances
• Practical preparation and disaster resources
• The use of prayer and fasting in times of crisis

For more information check the front page for the latest conference.
