Canaan Community Church (C&MA) hosted a Go & Tell Ministries weekend.

Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim @ Northwestern University

Coffee Devo with Go & Tell Ministries by Pastor Jim Halstead from Daniel Chapter 6. Daniel 6:10, “Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” Daniel 6:16, “So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” Daniel 6:19-20, “At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.20  When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZZP2WB7BLnY

Youth Worker on Fire YouTube Podcast

Doug Edwards wrote this introduction for the Youth Worker on Fire YouTube Podcast for Go & Tell: Jim Halstead started Go and Tell Ministries after working with students and discipling them for many years. Jim is a man who began life without a clue about who God is. A young man who did not grow up going to church. When I first met Jim, I had been five years into a student ministry that would end up being my most extended-term student ministry position. We would meet with youth pastors and volunteers as a district in the ministry department for the southeast and helped create one of three locations for Challenge 90 Evangelical Free Church of America. I recently learned that Jim would pray specifically for our student ministry and family for many years while he was located in Jacksonville, Florida, and I was in Central Florida. Jim has discipled so many students that are now adults, supporting him to help other workers do the same thing. Go and Tell Ministries: Jim’s story will inspire you to see beyond the next few weeks and months into your student ministry. Maybe even a glimpse far into your future and what staying around and investing more will look like on the other end of your life. Learn to Delight in God, declare the gospel, and disciple others to fulfill the great commission.

Delight in God by giving your best.

Mark 1:35 says, “very early in the morning while it was still dark, Jesus go tup, left his house and went off the solitary place, where He prayed.” Early in my faith in Jesus, I was encouraged to have a daily quiet time. To spend time daily with the Lord in prayer and Bible reading. My college pastor, Dave Faris, told me this great truth. Pastor Dave said: “Jim, it is just not enough to spend time with the Lord, but you want to give your best to Him.” Do you want to give your best to the Lord? To give your best in your Quiet Time, you need to ask yourself when you are at your best. Are you at your best in the morning, afternoon, or night? I’m a morning person, so every morning for years, I open my Bible to meet with Jesus. I read the Scriptures and pray like Jesus taught and modeled us. I want to ask you when you are at your best. Are you meeting with the Lord daily? To glorify God, we must delight in Him. If we delight in Him, we will go and tell. Watch the Coffee Devo by Go & Tell youtube link below:

 Hope EFCA Church in Onawa, Iowa hosted a Go & Tell Ministries Weekend.

It was so encouraging to reconnect with Pastor Stan from Hope EFCA. Here is a testimonial from Harold, who attended the Go & Tell Ministries events at Hope EFCA: “Pastor Jim Halsted spent two days with our church, presenting an evangelism workshop. It was an inspiring, convicting, and God-glorifying two days. He provided tools that I believe will better equip us to do the Lord’s work of presenting the gospel to others. Thanks, Jim!” If you would like to host a Go & Tell Ministries weekend at your church-please contact us.
