Repent and witness 2008




Matthew 9:37-39
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."


Day 1:

As the boot campers rolled in to NYSUM, the expectation was high. With it being the first evangelism boot camp for many, and the first CCN boot camp, the leader could only trust in the Lord, that he will move in a mighty way.The boot campers got to meet and greet one another, and friendships were formed.


Day 2:

It was the first day of battle and the first they of learning humility, and what it means to"count others more important then yourself,making myself of no reputation, by being a servant to my brothers and sisters.In Phil 2-3-8 Christ made him self of no reputation, becoming a servant. Christ humbled himself and was obedient to the Father, by becoming the propitiation for those who would believe in Him.

We began the day by walking to Nueva Vida. once there, we had a time of worship and prayer. Our first speaker of the week was John Chrisham AKA ChiZZZZ WIZZ ( Sorry I had too LOL) The message was powerful, and everyone had to examine themselves.



Our first location was Penn Station, and the boot campers wasted no time preaching in the heart of NYC. To watch each one get up and open was truly awesome. I can honestly say they made my job easy. Everywhere i turned someone was in a one to one and even one to three. I remember one lady balling in tears as one of the boot campers/ccn member was gently speaking to her.

Around 4pm we were reminded that God is sovereign, and he is in control. As the clouds rolled in, and the wind picked up, we knew we had to pack up it and move it out. We enjoy fellowship at my favorite spot, Dallas BBQ. (just writing about it makes me hungry lol)

After getting our crumb on, we headed back into battle at times sq. God continue to show us favor. One young man was so convicted as a brother pleaded with him in tears.




Day 3:

We made our way back to Nueva Vida. We had a awesome time in prayer and worship. Our guest speaker was Shawn Holes, who delivered a encouraging message to us all.

Battery Park, Staten Island Ferry! A place very familiar to the local team, was about to get be visited by believers from around the states/Canada. The sisters, stood up in the mist of NY Yorkers traveling back and forth, from Manhattan to Staten Island, while the men engaged one to ones.


Lines were for Statue of Liberty Ferry were long, and boot campers, preached as people waited in line.

Union Sq! A place filled with all kinds of people from different religions, to witch craft, evolutionist, and Atheists. The boot campers set out to go to war, knowing the history of this place. As we arrived there, boot campers wasted no time in seeking and saving the lost. Around 3pm Open air preaching was on, and the boot campers, with the boldness the comes from the holy Spirit, step up to the plate. Young sisters, preached boldly to crowds. The most quietest, and gentleness one of the group, encouraged us all.





Day 4:

Testimony and Graduation! As boot campers gave their testimonies, tears were shared, and lives were encouraged. It was such a blessing to hear, what God brought people out of and how God worked in the heart and lives thorough RW(Repent and Witness).

OUr last speak was Pastor Sean . Pastor encouraged and challenged all of us to stay zealous and pure for the Lord. At the end a group of men, called to be evangelist were prayer over.


It was the last battle of RW, and Union Sq was our targeted location. The weather was cold and wet one, and as we arrived at Union Sq, the place was filled in Taiwanese , protesting against the injustice from China. As we saw the spiritual battle all around us, we began to pray fervently. The people started singing and worship their false Gods who were actually demons. One of our boot campers and local NY,who just came back from teaching at Taiwan began to preach, and the people rioted. This sister, stood firm in the mist of persecution. The cops broke up the crowd and we were forced to move for a short time.

As the night drew near, the crowd grew, and formed around the open air preaching. The oldest and mature Sisters, steeped up on the stool and [reach the gospel. the good news of of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, dying for the sns of mankind, resurrecting from the dead, and bringing salvation to all who would believe in Him.


As the night drew even darker, hecklers became loud, rude, and threaten each preacher who came up. We ended the night singing and rejoicing in the preachiing of the gospel.

Our last night together was precious to each of us. Bonds grew stronger as we broke night basking in each others presents.




Day 5

Last day, and everyone made their way back to wist they came from. Repent and Witness, was full of zealous, and like minded believers, who loved the Lord and have a burden for lost souls. Tears, where shead/shared, lives were touched, friendships were established that will last for eternity! c
But in the end, each believer must go back to their respectable place, not before we broke bread.



Psalm 133

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."
