We had our first September 11th outreach in 2024 in Washington, D.C. and hope to do it again each year. We have had witnessing cards made, specifically for this outreach location. The cards look like a postcard on the front, but the back has the Gospel.
Everyone was open on September 11th, and it was not hard giving out all of the tracts about Jesus. We just say ,”This is for more peace and love in America on Sept. 11th,” and everyone wants one! 100 cards were distributed, and it was not even hard, so we hope to make this an annual outreach. Also, it began conversations with people to talk to them about Jesus more in-depth, especially with the vendors on Constitution Avenue.
I was walking along Pennsylvania Avenue, not far from the White House, when I heard “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” being sung in another language. I headed in the direction of the music, and there stood a man with his Bible, looking up to heaven singing. I could tell he was humble and sincere. I smiled and waited for him to finish. I asked, “Would you like to hear it in English?” I began singing for just him to hear, and he looked up to the sky and began crying. I then asked, “How about this one?” I began singing “My Jesus I Love Thee,” and he knew it, too, and we both sang it together, as he belted it out.
We had the most wonderful talk, as he explained that he comes there once a week to sing, with only his Bible, and told stories of how God brings people over, and he gets to tell them about Jesus and how to be saved.
I asked, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am from Korea. I live in Virginia now, and I am on my way to Heaven.” I smiled and said, “Well, I am from Tennessee, and I live in Sarasota, FL, now, and I am on my way to Heaven, too!”
We plan to be in Washington, D.C. each year now in this outreach going forward. If I see my friend who sings again next year, this ministry may partner with him by sending him tracts and more supplies for his weekly outreach. It was really special telling people about Jesus in the capital city of America, knowing Jesus is higher than all powers and dominions, all thrones and positions.
