EXTREME EVANGELISM has its Genesis in Southern California
"We don't care who you are, where you come from or what your addiction is. The fact remains that there is a question that all of us will be accountable for--like it or not--and that is "What will you do with Jesus Christ in your life?"
His name is Pastor Egypt McKee, and his mission is clear: extreme evangelism.
McKee and his team have taken their ministry everywhere from the Hollywood Walk of Fame to the fields of Africa. You could say they are definitely following the directive to go and make disciples of all nations.
Out of Egypt Ministries is a certified 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Extreme Evangelism Ministry. McKee says they focus on reaching men & women ages 18 to thirty-eight.
"We do it through advanced technologies, media and covert ministries."
Covert ministries? That got our attention. Many of us consider ourselves undercover ambassadors for Jesus ourselves---whether we work as a bank teller, school teacher, or CPA. But what is covert about a team that claims extreme evangelism? Enquiring minds here at SCCN wanted to know, so we went back to Pastor Egypt.
"We have an extremely advanced vision for reaching people through technologies and strategies never before considered in ministry or secular industry," he explains. "My GO TEAM also regularly feeds and clothes the homeless on SkidRow in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Santa Ana, and many other California at-risk communities.
In fact, one of those missions is slated for the coming weekend.
"Out of Egypt Ministries exists to reach un-reached peoples with the Good News of Jesus Christ everywhere," says Pastor Egypt. We are especially focused upon those people who are not likely to ever step foot inside a traditional church building. "
And that is why OEM is assembling a team to take the gospel message to Los Angeles' skid row yet again. This Friday volunteers will assemble in Irvine, and then caravan to L.A. On that evening of December 15, at 11:00 PM the group will begin their mission. It includes preparing meals, distributing clothing, and sharing the word with those in need. The so-called "GET OUT TEAM" will stay up all night in an attempt to reach runaways, the poor, and the homeless, and every member will be armed with his or her Bible.
Pastor Egypt prepares the team by telling them to be prepared to work long and hard "to ensure we encourage those people who are less fortunate than us. It's our purpose to serve them as we would ourselves."
The mission continues until noon the next day on (Saturday, December 16). OEM is inviting new volunteers to join them on this outreach. He believes the teams members themselves are changed as they seek to bring positive changes to others.
And you haven't heard the last of him! Pastor Egypt tirelessly blogs his faith on OEM's myspace page and he also has a regular podcast.
"I've also written an EXTREME EVANGELISM" book," says Pastor Egypt. "It is in final edit, and I'm praying we can raise the $40,000 to fund the publishing, distribution and promotion before February of 2007.
