While I've had some mild, sporadic heckling up to this point, today was the first day of ministry at the metrolink station that included any real opposition. The opposition came in the person of a false convert and two local gang members.

One of the gang members, the young man in this video, threatened to beat me up. He was posturing. But it could be a sign of things to come.

I have no intention of giving up the ground. It is not an issue of pride. The metrolink station is just about the only place I can open-air preach in the City of Santa Clarita--the only place that is public property where people in my community gather, come, and go. All other meeting places in my "planned" community are private property--places like our very large and very nice mall.

So, gang members or no, threats or no, I will continue to preach at the metrolink station. I have seen the Lord work here. Many are hearing the gospel. Many are receiving bibles. Christians are being encouraged.

The Jan Heidt Newhall Metrolink Station belongs to Jesus Christ, and not to any street gang.

Your prayers are appreciated.
