A hostile comment on my previous post did remind me that I wanted to clarify something and post the end results of Behold Your God NYC. There were a total of 9 separate campaigns in July, of which the Bronx/Westchester campaign that I was involved with was only one. The final results of all 9 campaigns were as follows:
Last month, throughout the greater New York area, our campaigners handed out 1,872,800 broadside tracts. We received contact information from 11,718 people who want to hear more from us including 3,689 Jewish seekers and 2,712 Gentile seekers. We knocked on 9,430 doors and connected with 2,170 people in their homes. We also connected by telephone with 8,711 of the 25,790 people that we called. We sent 3,396 copies of the “Jesus for Jews“ testimony book free to seekers who requested them through our evangelistic ads and mailings, and prayed with 241 Jewish people and 261 Gentiles to receive Jesus as Messiah and Lord.
To clarify what I said in my previous post regarding numbers, numbers in and of themselves mean nothing. My ministry doesn’t measure its success in terms of these numbers. We measure our success by whether or not we succeeded in doing what the Lord has called us to do: to proclaim the Gospel, as Jesus commanded all believers in Him to do. In that sense, numbers are only an indicator as to how well we have done the job of proclamation. To those that would say that is a cover-up for failure, I would say this: try it. Pick any message you like, and attempt to proclaim it on the level we did this July in New York City, and see how successful you are.
