Spring and Summer outreaches
It's the season, once again for BPOM to schedule groups to come to our ministry facility near Atlanta, Georgia for weekend outreaches this spring and summer. We have already scheduled groups for several weekends, but we want to fill up as many weekends as possible so that we can equip as many as possible to go into the streets and lanes of the cities all over America: healing the sick and afflicted, and proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Most groups arrive on Thursday evening and stay until Saturday evening. We train and equip them in the morning sessions, then go out and put what we learned into practice on the streets and in the marketplace in the afternoon and evening. Those who participate will see God perform miracles of healing through their hands, and will return to their cities with a new zeal, confidence and passion to see these same miracles where they live. If you would like more information about these outreaches or want to schedule a weekend for your group,contact us at thatjoelguy@gmail.com , or call us at (704)271-3028. We are here to serve you!

What a Ride!!
The past two months have been amazing! We have been blessed to be able to pour into our three young disciples; teaching them on evangelism, healing ministry, open-air preaching, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and street ministry. We spent many days on the streets of Atlanta, ministering to the homeless, drug-addicts, alcoholics, pimps, prostitutes and even some so-called "normal" people. During that time, we had several church groups from different parts of Atlanta and different states who came and stayed with us to be trained and equipped for power-evangelism. The testimonies of miracles that we witnessed are far too numerous to share here, but I will share a few highlights: While carrying the big cross from the parking lot where we parked the bus to the park where we were going to eat lunch we saw a man with crutches leaning against a wall. We told him the Kingdom of Heaven had come near to him, and that if he would just give us his hand, Jesus Christ would heal him, RIGHT NOW! He did, and was instantly healed! The man sitting next to him was astonished, and asked us to pray for his knees. He was instantly healed as well! I saw a man with a cane and went over to minister to him. While doing so, I saw a woman coming down the sidewalk in a motorized wheelchair. I was hoping that one of the people on the team had stopped her and ministered to her. The man with the cane was healed and began to rejoice! When I turned around, I could see that the the team had already pulled the woman in the wheelchair up to a standing position. She had been unable to walk for twenty four years. She also had carpal-tunnel in both wrists, and was wearing braces on both arms. We ministered to her several times through the laying on of hands, and proclaiming healing in Jesus' name. In a few moments, all pain and weakness left her back and legs, and she began to walk! Her wrists were healed. She thought she was dreaming. She began to weep. The Lord told me to dance with her. So, I asked her to dance with me. With people on the team weeping for joy, along with this precious woman who was healed, we danced together on Peachtree Street in the middle of downtown Atlanta.
That was just 20 minutes out of one outreach! There were other miracles that same day. Several people fell on their knees and surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ right out in public. How do you share all that happened in eight weeks?! Every day that we went out to minister, we saw several people saved, healed and many received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. These three young men will never be the same! Jesus really rocked their world!! Over the eight weeks, we fed and ministered to the homeless at least ten times, ministered to people living in a local government housing project here in Covington several times, did open-air preaching on the streets of Atlanta several times, and passed out hundreds of Gospel tracts in Atlanta and in Athens, Georgia to university students. We also helped with a huge Halloween outreach at an Assemblies of God Church in Jackson, Georgia called, "Trail To Hell". Hundreds of people gave their lives to Jesus during this outreach, and there were dozens of people who received healing in their bodies. WOO HOO!
On the last Sunday the young men were with us, while attending service at Abundant Life A/G in Jackson, one of the leaders came to me and asked if I would help them pray for a man who had MS, and was unable to walk or even move his legs. When we got to him, he was sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway, and was completely helpless from the waist-down. After ministering to him for about twenty minutes, he could stand, but still could not take a step. We continued to minister to him in the name of Jesus. About ten minutes later, he could walk very slowly. We continued to minister to him. Within another fifteen minutes, he could walk, run and even leap! He was completely healed by the power of God, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! HALLELUJAH!!!!!
C'MON JESUS!!! One of our young disciples, Michael Sugar, was able to capture most of the healing on video using his i-phone. I will try and post a link to it as soon as it becomes available.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Discipleship Training Course
We have Three young men living with us here at the ministry loft for an eight week training course to be trained and equipped in the areas of healing and power-evangelism. Their names are Michael Reaser, Sebastian Prosper and Michael Sugar. The first night they were here, Michael Reaser received a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues for the first time in six years. All of them are learning how to minister healing to the sick and afflicted in public places like Wal-Mart and on the streets of Atlanta through the name of Jesus Christ. They are also seeing people surrender all to Jesus as a result of putting into practice what they have learned.
During their first two weeks here, we had two groups who came and stayed with us for weekend outreaches on the streets of the ATL. One of them was a group of about eight from a Church in Newnan, Georgia. The other was a group of thirteen from a Church in Dothan, Alabama. They came here to be trained and equipped for power-evagelism on the streets and in the marketplace. We saw so many people saved and healed during these two weeks that it is difficult to keep track of them. Many were kneeling down in public parks and even inside Wal-Mart, surrendering their lives to Jesus.
One of these three young men, Sebastian Prosper, is an intern with us from Fire School of Ministry out of Concord, North Carolina. Last night at our weekly BPOM outreach, he preached his first ever message. There were about 50 homeless people present and 19 volunteers from Mableton Assembly of God. Although I only gave him about six hours notice, he preached with power and passion. About seven people responded to the message and prayed out loud to forsake all sin and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!
Please agree with us in prayer for these young men, that they will be equipped, trained and mightily used of God to help reap the great harvest of souls that our Lord Jesus suffered and died to redeem.

Death To Sin Through Christ ( except from a sermon by C.G. Finney )
How perfectly chilling and horrible for persons to oppose the idea of expecting deliverance from sin and yet talk calmly of going on in sin all the rest of their earthly days! As an elder whom I knew rose in meeting and told the Lord he had been living in sin thus far and expected to go on in sin as long as he lived; he had sinned to-day and should doubtless sin to-morrow and so on--and yet he talked as calmly about it all as if it were foolish to make any ado, as well as impossible to attempt any change for the better. Talk of all this calmly--think of that! Quite calmly of living along in sin all the rest of his days! How horrible!! Suppose a wife should say to her husband, "I love you some, but you know I love many other men too, and that I find. it pleasant to indulge myself with them. You certainly must be aware that all women are frail creatures and liable to fall continually, and indeed you know that I expect to fall more or less as it may happen every day I live, so that you certainly will not expect from me anything so impracticable and fanatical as unblemished virtue! You know we have none of us any idea of being perfect in the present life--we don't believe in any such thing!"
Now let me ask you to look at this woman and hear what she has to say. Can you hear her talk so, without having your soul filled with horror? What! is this woman a wife, and does she think and talk in this way about conjugal fidelity?
And yet this is not to be compared in shocking guilt and treason with the case of the Christian who says, "I expect to sin every day I live," and who says this with unmoved carelessness. You expect to be a traitor to Jesus each day of your life; to crucify him afresh each day; to put him each day to an open shame; each day to dishonour his name, and grieve his heart, and to bring sorrow and shame upon all who love Christ's cause; and yet you talk about having a good hope through grace! But tell me, does not every true Christian say, "Do not let me live at all if I cannot live without sin; for how can I bear to go on day by day sinning against him whom I so much love!"

Outreaches
We continue to have outreaches every week: feeding and ministering to the homeless, drug-addicts. alcoholics, pimps, prostitutes and even some so-called "normal" people on the streets of the ATL.
Last Tuesday night, we had a team of about 25 volunteers from Christ Chapel in Zebulon, Georgia who prepared and served the food to feed about 40+ of our homeless friends. We were also joined by 29 people from two youth groups: one from Dallas, Texas and another from Greensboro, North Carolina. We sang songs, preached the Gospel and saw about 20 people respond to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.
Last night we had about 12 volunteers from Mableton Assembly of God who prepared and served a spaghetti dinner to the people at our Whitehall Street site. There was also a team of high school students from Indiana who came with AIM ( Adventures in Missions ) from Gainesville, Georgia. There were approximately 60-70 homeless. We preached the word from Mark 8:34-38. Five men responded and came forward to surrender their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We appreciate all the prayer and support from all our partners. Without your help we couldn't do this.
THANK YOU!!!

Charles G. Finney - from "The Infinite Worth of the Soul"
Come to Christ, and say, "Oh, Jesus! thou hast bought me,--I will be thine. Thou hast died for me, and purchased my life; and shall the life which thou has redeemed be given to Satan? No! no! as I am a man. No! as I have an immortal soul. No! as I belong to the government of God. No! as I hope for salvation. No! I dread to displease God, and desire to please my Saviour. Heaven beareth witness that I renounce my sins; and let God write it in heaven." Are you not ready? Why not? Make up your minds now and for ever, right here on the spot, in the house of God where the angels wait to tell the story, where the Holy Spirit breathes upon the people. What say you sinner,--are you willing to come over from Satan to God?You must decide now, one way or the other; and if we could see what infinite consequences, in respect to persons here, are turning on that decision, methinks the congregation would wail out with agony to see what destinies are trembling on this momentous point! See that needle, trembling on its pivot! It must, when it settles, point either one way or the other--to heaven or to hell. Sinner! such is your destiny. What do you say?

Summer Outreaches for 2013
We are entering our busy season at BPOM, and with the addition of Thursday night outreaches with our friends from Abundant Life Church in Jackson, Georgia we will have plenty of action. We are scheduling weekend outreaches between now and September for teams of youth and/or adults who desire to be trained and equipped for evangelism and healing ministry outside the walls the church building. Training and lodging and outreach on the streets is FREE. Registration is open and we are starting to fill up quickly, so contact us now to schedule your group. We have separate dorms for guys and gals, and room for 10 in each dorm. Each dorm has 2 showers and 2 sinks. The ministry loft is located in Covington, about 40 minutes east of Atlanta. Each person is responsible for their own meals, and there is a Super Walmart nearby. The loft has a large kitchen so that everyone can prepare their own meals. We suggest something quick and easy such as sandwich meats, bread, chips, etc...
Contact us for more information at thatjoelguy@gmail.com or call (404)642-8201
Da Bus
BPOM has recently purchased a ministry bus to be used for outreach, and it is exactly what we were looking for! It can carry up to 14 people, as well as ministry supplies and outreach materials.
Pine Ridge, South Dakota
I was recently invited to go on a weekend mission trip to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Our dear friends, Wade and Katie McHargue are ministering there among the Lakota Indians. We saw some significant breakthroughs while we were there, as a group of men gathered from 10 states to minster to and pray for these precious people. I was asked to teach the men who had come there on how to minister healing to the sick and afflicted in order to open the hearts of the people to receive the Gospel. About 24 people were healed in 2 days of ministry on the Rez, and approximately 14 surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ! To God be the glory!

Three Outreaches in One Week
Busy week this week...and we LOVE it! Tuesday night we had our weekly Broken Pieces outreach on Whitehall Street in the ATL. We had about fifty volunteers from several churches who came to help us as we fed and ministered to about seventy of our homeless friends. Because of support from faithful parnters like YOU, we were able to bless many of them with tube socks, skull-caps and new underwear. Some of our volunteers also brought a few coats and hoodies. It was cold outside, but we had four large trays of hot lasagna for them, provided by a team of our volunteers from Oak Hill Baptist in Griffin, Ga. We preached, several responded to the message, and one lady we have been ministering to for years testified that Jesus Christ has completely changed her life! She told me, "Pastor Joel,I've been listening to you out here all this time, and I finally got it!" She used to practically beg us for money every week to support her habit. We would sometimes give her $2-$3, but we would always pray for her deliverance and healing. She had suffered with severe pain throughout her body for years. Tuesday night, she testified that she was pain free, delivered, and didn't need anything! To God be the glory!!!
Toinght (Thursday, Nov. 15th), we have our monthly Broken Pieces outreach at the "Making A Way" transitional housing facility in Atlanta's West End. A team of volunteers from Abundant Life Assembly of God in Jackson, Ga. will be with us, and will supply the food, lead us all in worship and share testimonies. We expect a good crowd. Afterwards, we will take the leftover food to the regular location on Whitehall Street, and feed and minister to our homeless friends there. We expect to be out till around midnight tonight.
Tomorrow afternoon, we have an outreach in Athens, Georgia. It is being organized by one of our volunteers who lives there. We plan to equip the saints there for front-lines, open-air and one-on-one minstry as well as power evangelism and healing the sick in the name of Jesus Christ. We will be taking the big cross out on the street with us, as it always helps us in drawing a crowd (the cross is 10 ft. tall and 5 ft. across at the cross-beam ).
As I write this post, our ministry van is still in the repair shop. Please agree with us in prayer for a newer van so that we can continue to reach out here in the inner-city. We are also beliveing God for a ministry trailer to help us transport food, blankets, clothes, tables, chairs and other items we use regularly for outreach.
Please agree with us in prayer that lost souls will be convicted of sin and born from above, that the backslidden will experience godly sorrow and return to their first-love, that the sick and afflicted will receive healing and deliverance, and the saints will be filled with the Spirit of God and equipped for service, in Jesus name, amen!
We love and appreciate you all!

"We Like to Move It, Move It!"
To God be the glory! We finally got everything moved out of our apartment in Locust Grove and up here to Covington at "The Loft". We actually turned in our apartment keys on Sunday, the 28th, which was also the final day of our outreach in Atlanta. In the middle of all this activity, our ministry van, which has almost 250,000 miles on it broke down for the third time. We were able to use it during the outreach this past weekend, but the transmission was slipping pretty severely the whole time. We are trusting God to supply us with a newer, better van soon. He is faithful, and has already begun to lay this need on the heart of many of those of you who love us and believe in what we do here in the ATL. We are not worried at all. God has this, amen?!
The outreach this past weekend was wonderful! We had people here from South Dakota, Charlotte, and different parts of Atlanta staying with us during the outreach. We also had others who met with us in downtown Atlanta as we hit the streets to minister. Several people surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus during the outreach, and there were people who received physical healing. Also, the 13 year old daughter of one of the ladies who came from Charlotte received salvation and was filled with the Holy Spirit!
We took time to equip those who came in the areas of ministering God's healing power to the sick and afflicted on the street, intercessory prayer for the lost, and how to win souls right out on the streets. We also engaged in open-air preaching during the outreach, and saw people surrender to Jesus Christ as a result.
We had two different people who serenaded us with gospel songs during the outreach, and a homeless couple actually ministered prophetically to two of our volunteers who came. "...God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise...that no flesh should glory in His presence."
One of the men who came down from South Dakota knew about our ministry here because he had received the baptism in the Holy Spirit as the result of watching a video I recorded and posted on GodTube several years ago called "Power From On High". (There have been people from all over the world who have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit as the reult of watching this same video. It cannot be viewed from a smartphone; only from a computer). He brought two of his friends with him who had also received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The wives of these three men stayed together while their husbands were here for the outreach. Two of these women had already received the baptism in the Holy spirit, and while they were together, they prayer for the other one and she also received the baptism in the Holy Spirit!
We got to talk to all of them via Skype video, and they were very happy and excited!
We will have about twenty UGA students staying here in the big loft from January through March. Agree with us in prayer that God will give us divine appointments to minister to them, and that many of them will have their eyes opened, and will be turned from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.
We want to schedule a large outreach sometime in April. This will give us the opportunity to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry, through miracles of healing, and through signs and wonders done in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus. Send me a message if you want to come or if you want to bring a team.

Having been thus equipped, many students will then able to take the fire back to their own cities, towns and neighborhoods.
There is still room for more students for the outreach this month, Sept. 14th - 16th.
SPREAD THE WORD!!

Transitional Housing Outreach
In addition to the Tuesday night Broken Pieces Outreach we do every week in the open-air on Whitehall Street, and the Sunday outreaches in and around Woodruff Park, BPOM has begun a new monthly outreach at a transitional housing facility in the West End area of Atlanta called "Making A Way Housing". We had our first outreach there last week, and will be going there the last Thursday night of every month.
A team of volunteers from Abundant Life Assembly of God in Jackson, led by Josh and Alicia Gentle are partnering with us for this monthly outreach, and are preparing the meals as we serve the people there.
This past Thursday night, we had about 25-30 people show up from the facility. We fed them a spaghetti dinner, and just got to know them for about the first hour and a half. Then, we had a dear brother, Mark Gibson, share his testimony with everyone. Many of those present were visably moved, and it softened many hearts.
I then stood and preached a short message on being delivered from life controlling addictions through absolute surrender to Jesus Christ, and through faith in Him. When I gave the altar-call several men and women came forward, with every head up and every eye opened, to commit themselves to Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior!
We also saw two people healed by the power of God, in the name of Jesus Christ!
There was so much food left over, we all decided to go to a large parking lot behind Garnett Station in Atlanta and offer a spaghetti dinner to the homeless who sleep there. We were able to feed and minister to about forty of them.
At the end of the night, souls were saved, bodies were healed and lives were forever changed. WE LOVE THIS STUFF!!!

Broken Pieces Outreach with volunteers from Christ Chapel
I preached a message from 1Corinthians 13 on love. Many were deeply convicted and came forward publicly for prayer as they surrendered their all to Jesus Christ.

Going Forward...Remaining Faithful
As many of you who are reading this blog already know, the ministry Pat and I have been part of for the past 2 1/2 years, Rescue Atlanta Ministries, has closed it's doors. Rescue Atlanta provided so many services to help the homeless, it would be nearly impossible to replace. That ministry served the homeless in the inner-city of Atlanta for 23 years, preaching the Gospel, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and even providing showers for people four days a week. Rescue Atlanta also held regular outreaches, with many teams of students and other vounteers who came to the facility from all over the U.S. Pat and I had the priviledge of being in charge of many of the outreaches of this great ministry, taking teams to the streets of Atlanta for evangelism. After a training session , we would then all go out and minister to people on the street, in parks and to the homeless wherever we found them. The closing of Rescue Atlanta has left a huge hole in the city, and many of our homeless friends are starting to realize just how important this ministry was to them.
Pat and I believe God has called us to continue what we have been doing here for the past 2 1/2 years, serving the homeless and the body of Christ through having regular outreaches, and taking teams of students and volunteers to continue reaching the people God desperately wants. We have rented a large loft in Covington, Ga. about 30 minutes from the city, where we can house and train teams of up to 20 (10 men and 10 women) for outreach on the streets of Atlanta. Just last weekend, we had our first team come and stay at our new facility, and we had a powerful time of ministry. Out of the 10 people who were with us, we discovered that 5 of them had not yet received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. On Friday night after the teaching on prayer, we laid hands on those five and all of them received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues!
On Saturday morning, I taught the team on power evangelism, and specifically how to minister God's healing power to the sick and afflicted outside the church walls. After lunch, we all loaded up and headed downtown to Woodruff Park, located in the center of Atlanta near the Five Points Marta train station. As the teams began to minister to the people, the people opened their hearts. Several were healed of various sicknesses and torments. Several of them were deeply moved and surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. It was wonderful! That night, when we arrived back at the loft, everyone shared their experiences, and we all had a wonderful time giving glory to God for all He accomplished in us and through us.
On Sunday, we all went back to Woodruff Park for a time of worship and minitry. Several people came from different areas of the park to see what we were doing, and two were healed and four surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ right there in public. Glory to God!!
Pat and I will officially move to Covington in October, and we will stay in a small loft in the same building where the large minstry loft is located. The landlord has graciously given us permission to have outreach teams come and stay there on the weekends before we officially move in. By doing this, we can have the rent covered for a month or more before we move in. Perhaps some of you reading this have a desire to come and bring a team with you to be trained and equipped for evangelism and healing ministry. Perhaps you are part of a group of believers who have a desire to help people who are desperate and hurting, but don't yet have the experience to know how to get started.
Broken Pieces Outreach Ministries is dedicated to both reaching the lost and afflicted here in Atlanta with the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as equipping the saints to do the same. Our contact information is located in another post on this blog. Send us an email or call us to shedule a team to come and be trained for outreach on a Friday through Sunday.
