God was great at M.A.D. Festival !!
Monday, August 23, 2010

At the M.A.D In The Streets Festival on Saturday the 21st, Acts 20/20 Ministries gave away
- 34 KJV full-text Bibles
- 90 ESV NT's
- 55 'mini' ESV NT's
- 28 copies of John Piper's "the Passion of Jesus Christ" book
- 169 John Piper CD sermons of "12 Loaves Of Bread & Walking On The Water"
and over 400 tracts.

We had the opportunity to speak with many people in depth about Jesus Christ and their needs, and also to pray with a number of them.

When the festival ended, there were over 150 professions of faith made!

Please pray that God make every single one of them to be real and lasting, and that He send a mentor for each person to guide and walk with with them as they begin their lives of faith.

Praise our Great God that the weather cleared perfectly, the festival ran smoothly, and His name was glorified!

We give much thanks to the Father, and to all who donated materials and time to make this festival happen.

M.A.D. for Jesus!
Monday, August 09, 2010

The 2nd Annual M.A.D. In The Streets festival will be held August 21st, 2010 at North Beach in Racine, WI.

Although notice was shorter than anyone would have preferred <g>, Acts 20/20 Ministries will be represented at the festival. If supplies can be arranged, we will be distributing FREE Bibles to as many attendees as will accept them, along with a CD of Biblical teaching by Dr. John Piper at a booth during the event, and one-on-one across the grounds.

If all supplies cannot be arranged in time, we will be giving away whatever supplies can be managed, and at the very least, we will be on the grounds talking to people about Jesus Christ.

End of the year 2009
Wednesday, December 30, 2009

"Christmas Eve - EVE"...In other words, the night before Christmas Eve, four of us went door-to-door in a local neighborhood and gave away 30 Bibles while singing Christmas carols.

It was snowing, blowing, and not at all warm, but we were able to speak with a number of people, and were able to pray for the needs of a few of them before leaving them with a new copy of the Bible that also contained a CD sermon by John Piper, and some other information.

This was a great way to end the year...

Quick update...
Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Due to an error on the part of USPS, oh... let's face it, due to them not really caring - I "received" one of my Christmas gifts a few days early: today.

My darling wife arranged the needed PO Box for Acts 20/20 to use for standard (actual) mail. I should have the box number in a few days, and will update the information on the site ASAP. :-)

(addendum: the PO Box address for mailings to Acts 20/20 is now available on the Contacts Page of the site).

What comes next with Acts 20/20?
Saturday, August 22, 2009

Here is a list of "next" things that we'll be working on in the coming months that are needed for this ministry to accomplish its goals:

1) Setting up a Post Office box to handle all mailings, shipping, and physical correspondance.

2) Drafting and then mailing a letter of introduction to local churches and ministries, to point them to the site, and to hopefully gain the information they want us to disseminate to the public for them about their resources, ministry, etc.

3) Obtaining a multi-disc tower burner to duplicate all the FREE CDs/DVDs to be given away. Ideally, it will be a laser-scribe as discs can be labeled at no additonal costs for labels, printing, and application of them.

4) Buying a bulk (1,000 or more to start) of plastic handled bags that will hold the FREE Bible, FREE CD, and other materials to be given away.

5) Buying a bulk of blank CDRs (1,000 to start) to 'burn' the FREE sermons onto.

6) Drafting and printing leaflet/flyers/etc that contain all local minstry info to go in bag with FREE Bibles.

7) God willing, adding a few pair of Christian feet willing to go door-to-door with us for the glory of the Lord.

Each item on the list needs to be dealt with for the ministry to achieve it's primary goal of reaching people door-to-door with the love of Christ Jesus. It is my hope, that the site will fuel the footwork as this progresses by pointing helpers to us and so on.

We would consider it a great service if you would pray for us in these things, and in any other way you are lead to assist in this work.

May the Lord God shine ever more brightly through your walk of faith!

Revamped Logo for Acts 20/20
Friday, August 21, 2009

If you look closely at the main page you'll see that I've put up a spiffy new logo for the ministry.

The new logo is a revamped version of the original which I designed almost 3 years ago. There was nothing actually wrong with the logo such as it was, but I felt that it needed to be sharper, crisper, and more dynamic (most especially in how the "20/20" came across visually. This new logo is also much better for changing and resizing to other formats (banners, business cards, etc etc).

At first glance, the changes are subtle, which is why I said to look closely at the main page - there's a good chance you blew right by it without noticing! ;-)

peace/faith/hope/love in Christ Jesus

New News IS Good News
Friday, August 21, 2009

That's right, contrary to the old adage, it is "new" news that is good news, not "no" news.

What is this "new" news I'm speaking of you ask? Well, for starters, you are here now, so that means that the Internet "Home" of Acts 20/20 Ministries of Milwaukee is up and running...although it is more like up and wobbily stumbling around at this point. :-)

You will notice that there are some areas of the site that are fairly barren at this point; that's not because of any spartan mentality or "feng shui chic" we're striving toward, it is only that those resources are still in the process of being accumulated or built. There are a few functions or buttons on the site that are not functioning for a lack of being entirely "built" as well. Hopefully you'll bear with us as the construction of this house of ministry continues to saw and nail towards a shining temple to God's glorification.

Even though we are in an "unfinished" state, we encourage you to avail yourselves of the resources we currently have available for you to download (FREE of charge!) for the use of your church or ministry. There are a large number of graphics ready to be used by your Powerpoint, Easy Worship, or other presentational software. There are screensavers filled with encouragement directly from the Word of God you may install on any systems you like. There will soon be short form videos and a number of printable resources as well.

In some sense of the term, this site will always be in a state of expansion as more resources become available, or more people choose to become involved in this ministry.

Please do write and let us know what you think of the site, of the offerings, and of any prayers we may offer on your behalf.

God bless and stretch you!
