  • Ray Comfort hits the streets of Compton to reach souls for Christ through evangelism. He talks with gang members who admit to using guns and being shot at. Remarkably, one of the gang members listens closely and is convinced that God sent Ray to speak to them.

      We need His Gospel everywhere, everywhere! We need it even more in some of the richest churches in the richest neighborhoods! These contain people who think they are righteous and have all the answers, but continually reject God’s sovereignty over their own. I’m talking about the politicians who “rule” over people in poorer neighborhoods, promising them everything just to get elected year after year. They don’t recognize the preciousness of each and every life, of every person they lie to to keep their own power. They don’t recognize that God Himself finds everyone equally precious because He made us!! The selfishness needs to be wiped from these politicians and community leaders and they need to humble themselves before Jesus, the only Savior and ask for His forgiveness and Grace. May we all be born anew with the Holy Spirit and able to stand before God in that day and have God see His Son, Jesus, in our place!

    I was once a gang member from the streets of Compton, but GOD delivered me from certain death. I now follow Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Now reading the Scriptures is one thing but walking and living in them is what's it all about. Study the Scriptures for yourself with Holy Spirit guidance, pray for discernment. Be not distracted, everybody that holler Lord Jesus and GOD are not of Him. Guard your mind and hearts at all cost. Heed the Holy Spirit. Remember the Wisdom of GOD is the principal thing.

Thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ who was willing to give His life for my sins. Now I have a new life in Him, a beautiful God fearing wife. Thanks to you all who are willing to go to this streets and share God's truth with those who most people say aren't worth a dime.

You're videos help ground me in my faith and always bring me to my own needs because of the hope of there are still beautiful people out there.not judgmental and really have God's will in hand. Struggling myself personally but knowing half the battle is knowing none of this matters down here but Him and his Son Jesus!

I advise to study God's word and show yourself approved unto Him rightly dividing His word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15. If you were truly a student of God's word, you will never talk that kind of nonsense like you did. You would know what Scripture says and you would talk Scripture and edify the hearers. You haveve 2 fans, who are also ignorant of what Scripture says, and they foolishly said i receive that, receive what, i like to ask you all 3, Has God unveiled you in your world yet, hahaha😊, or are you still in the cave waiting to be unveiled in your world. You want to be unveiled in your world, repent of any known sin in your life, sinsubmit to God, walk in the Spirit, obey His word, and preach the Gospel.
