was tremendous amount of work. But a good Harvest typically is. You have limited amount of time to grab the fruit, despite weather, physical tiredness, sleep and food deprivation, or any other inconveniences. You just put your eyes on the prize and just go for it.

This year we had two teams. One team was of 7 people that camped on the inside with , and we had a team of 10 people new trainees who stayed on the outside with us.

We started our outside outreach with evangelism training and embarked on evangelizing to this immense crowd from 2pm-midnight. With the temps ranging from 99° to 38°. At events like populations to evangelist ratio can get over overwhelming. Over 250,000 people walked by us in two days. So what do you do? You resort to a good old-fashioned street 😎

Along the way, if we meet Christian people, we empower them and give them a quick evangelism training so that they can evangelize along the way as well. In this particular case we found a Christian vendor and gave him on the spot training for street evangelism.

And while we got kicked out serval times, we prayed for every person that “loved” us out of the premises 😂

Most of you know that both of us work full time, and for us these mission trips are right after getting off of work and then coming right back to work, so last slide depicts how we feel on the outside after each trip 😆but on the inside we rejoice with the Heaven for 1558 souls that professed Jesus as their Lord during Coachella, 2026.

Travel update: left home at 7am, after a week of work. Flight delayed. Got to Los Angeles at 1pm. 7hrs later still on the road for what was supposed to be a 21/2 hour drive. LA plus Coachella traffic is a giant that we happily took down for the souls!!

Why we do this expensive time consuming craziness might be incomprehensible to some, but it won’t be if you are parent or a grandparent or a pastor who prayed and cried for their children caught up in the wrong stuff, and as they are stoned and raving in a party, SUDDENLY they run into us.

To us these are sacred divine appointments that we must keep. We also take it so serious because we feel we owe it to all the locals ministries that have sown seeds in the area. Because we are an answer to someone’s prayer. Because we love people.

And we Thankyou for being a part of God’s touch and His saving Grace to these precious ones.

As Mark Hankins says, “if you aren’t going, you better be sowing” 😊

Houston Rodeo 2026! On average more than 80,000 people attend the rodeo, together with Philip Renner Ministries / Renner Worship 5 of our other friends and 30 newly trained street minsters we reached 1693 souls for Jesus, in 3 days! Harvest is a tremendous amount of work, for example, we were on our feet nonstop from 4 PM to midnight sometimes 1 AM, taking more than 10,000 steps, speaking on the top of our voice because of the background carnival noise, to groups of 10 or more, day after day. Most of these street Evangelist do these out-reaches after work and then go right to work the next day, and then come back for outreach again. Soul winning is our passion but equipping the saints to do street evangelism is our passion project. On one of the out-reach days we had an awesome team of 7 adults and 5 kids (10-15), they all got individually mentored and trained (on the job) and together we got 227 salvations from 4pm-11:30pm! It was a glorious time! The Body of Christ is extremely resolute and inspiring! It is such a privilege to travel around the world and see how powerful, active and dynamic The Church is! We would also like acknowledge The Church, for their utmost financial and prayerful support for each of these outreaches that we do! It takes us all to do it all, all to the Glory of Jesus!
