(Worthy News) – A group of Chicago street ministers shared the Gospel and the love of God outside the Democratic National Convention in the windy city last week, CBN News reports. The evangelists are members of “Chicago for Jesus,” a multi-denominational group based at the city’s Metro Praise International Church.
Sharing the Gospel on the streets of Chicago at diverse locations including music festivals and abortion clinics, Chicago for Jesus ministers headed for the DNC conference which took place from Monday to Thursday last week, and spent time with various groups outside the conference security perimeter, CBN News reports.
“We went on a day where there were feminists, communists,” Juan-Elias Riesco who leads “Chicago for Jesus,” told CBN News. “When we were communicating with the Communist Revolutionaries of America, we had a great 10-15 minute conversation. We talked about Jesus, and we explained to them that the Bible is way more sufficient than any communist manifesto.”
Moreover, Riesco said: “I had the privilege of ministering the gospel to a trans person. I looked at her and said, ‘Did you know that you were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God? That God did not design you to be trans but made you perfectly as you are.'”
“We know that the truth of the gospel is the only thing that can slice through these lies and save the souls of these people,” Riesco said.
