2018 - Sequim Street Ministry

On Saturdays Gospels of John and Jesus film DVD’s are passed out to visitors to Sequim Farmers Market. Seeds are planted and there are opportunities to share one’s faith with unbelievers and encourage Christians to witness in their circle. When the market closes for the winter, we move to a park on the main street in Sequim. On Halloween we will pass out about 1200 Halloween tracts with candy packets in downtown Sequim. The day Santa comes to downtown Sequim, we will be passing out Christmas tracts with candy canes.

Supernatural Lectures

The last Monday evening of the month we present a supernatural lecture at the Sequim Public Library to unbelievers. They are warned about the evil supernatural and told about the good supernatural, including the Gospel and are invited to accept Jesus as their Savior and Lord. There are believers sprinkled in the audience to help make contacts as the meeting breaks up. It is amazing how a new group of needy people shows up each month. . Next year we are expanding to include a monthly lecture at the Port Angeles Public Library.

Palm Sunday Parade & Metanoia Northwest

Our small team of co-workers in Christ have continued to publicly share the Gospel on a weekly basis in Port Townsend on Water Street along with several special outreaches. The special outreaches include a Halloween outreach to over 1000 people each year in Port Townsend where we pass out Gospels of John to adults and tract paks for the young people; a similar event for the Tree lighting ceremony in Port Townsend during on the first Saturday of December; the Palm Sunday parade in Port Townsend in which the Christian community is invited to join in to publicly proclaim Christ over Jefferson county. This event usually has about 50-80 participants depending on the spring weather. In the spring on the first Thursday of May we also host a small gathering of praying believers at the Jefferson County courthouse for National Day of Prayer. These events along with video support of other ministry out reaches and prayer with Clallam county ministers comprise most of our activities each year. The video work continues on the public access TV stations in Port Townsend, Port Angeles and on You Tube.

We thank the Lord for being able to partner with The True Vine Fellowship team. We thank The True Vine fellowship for supplying over a thousand copies of the Gospel of John each year and Donna Spivey in Sequim for distributing to us hundreds of copies of the Jesus Film which is also passed out on the peninsula and other counties during summer months.

Special thanks goes out to Mark McGriff, Gary Todd, Don Saunders and Barbara Bottomly for the street outreach work. Thanks also goes out to many others who volunteer each year to help put together the Palm Sunday parade in Port Townsend.

Family Fun Fest

Since 2006 The Crossing Church has reached out to less fortunate families in our community with food, fun and the gospel. This year marked the first time the Promise of Life Café provided food service for this important event; our team served roughly 300 hamburgers and 200 hot dogs in a span of 2 ½ hours (Rumor has it we had a couple of ringers working the behind the scenes, Professional Chef Ted Bisson and Brianna Palenik.). Pastor Dave Burrows and Dennis Beguelin walked the Pumpkin Patch sharing the Gospel of John and their love for the Lord with the families who participated in the event. To no one’s surprise, the brothers and sisters of the Crossing, both young and old, worked the carnival games serving extra large helpings of kindness and grace. A special thanks to Pastor Burrows and Charrise Beguelin for organizing this event. If you or your church fellowship would like to be a part of this outreach in 2019, contact Dave Burrows at the Crossing Church.

Jammin’ at the Park

All of us miss Pastor Dave Rich and his lovely bride Debbie; thanks to his leadership, Harbor of Hope has a rich tradition of outreach within the Port Angeles and Sequim communities. Both Dave and Debbie are now safely in Colorado Springs, Colorado attending seminary. The Lord in His goodness has already provided new leadership for Harbor of Hope, Pastor JR and his wife Shana Van Proyen. During this transition, a special thanks to River Sussman and Jack Worman for organizing and leading this year’s event and to all the brothers and sisters from Harbor of Hope and the Crossing Church, who went out of their way to make the carnival games a special blessing for the children and their parents. Historically this small very dynamic church conducts wonderful outreaches; this year’s Jammin’ in the Park was no exception. Praise the Lord for the coming year and new beginnings in 2019 with Pastor JR and Shana! Welcome!

The City Life 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

Josh Mathews may be an Assistant Director of Youth For Christ (YFC) in Bremerton, but thankfully he has never ceased being a basketball player. This year, TTVF partnered with Josh and YFC to serve hamburgers to all those participating in City Life’s tournament. Not only was the Promise of Life Café well received among the players, but also by the Moms and their children strolling by in the park. Each person ordering from the café received a free Gospel of John; one little girl ordered a John 3:16 Burger and then recited the verse from memory for Charrise Beguelin. A special thanks to Josh at YFC and Seaside Church for organizing and leading this year’s event, to the Bremerton High School students who played in the tournament, and lastly, to those who cooked and served burgers.
