May 2023

Dear Praying Friends,

Praise the Lord! We just came back from NYC! From Bryant Park to Madison Square Park, our team of 13 college students and leaders shared the Gospel with as many people as possible. Our Safety Zone ministry continues to be going strong. We completed a New York City Safety Zone outreach at the end of April. We were encouraged by the students from WOLBI that came along with us to minister the Gospel to the many we met in the open air of New York City. We saw some fantastic things happen in people's lives by trusting the Lord to save them. The students were also encouraged to spread the Gospel and learn to share their faith boldly and clearly.

Thank you for your prayers and encouraging support. We are excited about our Suffering Package Scholarship. Our Suffering Project has helped over 25 families in the last four weeks. We hope to help other families encourage their children to study hard in school and succeed. Please pray about what you can do to help us reach more youth with the Gospel by donating to our Suffering Project Scholarship. Thank you so very much.

Through our Youthfluential Ministry, we offer two new exciting online programs. Our Youth Safety Zone Online Ministry and our Evangelism Mentor Academy are rolling out this month for students and parents to enjoy. We are looking for people to join our evangelism training course online. You will learn everything you need to share the Gospel with your friends.

Special Prayer Requests:

1. Becky: She is finishing the school year strong and healthy. Keep her in your prayers as she teaches K-4 and for her health.
​2. Tony: The Three S's: 1. Safety as he travels in the inner city, 2. Strength as he still is recovering from his back injury, and for 3. Souls to be saved as he preaches in his different outreaches.
​3. Safety Zone Ministry: May 17-19, we will have a team working in Kensington and hosting a Youth Safety Zone in Upper Darby, PA. On June 17, we will have a Kid's Safety Zone at the Aldan Union Church's Community Picnic.
​4. Ready! Conferences: Pray for Tony as he travels to Victory Baptist Church in Fairhaven, MA, to speak in their church on June 25
​5. Equipment: We need supplies for our ongoing mission outreaches: Bibles and socks. We need Bibles for our counseling. We always need socks and water for the many we meet in our Street and Youth Safety Zones.

Ministry Updates:​
​Tony enjoyed his time at Highland Hills Baptist Church in Highland, Michigan. There he fellowshipped and ministered with the people of this sweet church. Praise the Lord. Finished a Street Safety Zone in NYC with WOLBI. Praise the Lord.

Tony has been creating a series on Youtube to encourage people to share the Gospel even if they are scared - You Won't Believe These Astonishing Secrets from II Corinthians 5:8-14!​

WIN, WIN, WIN: Tony has finished two books for children and one for older elementary-age children. These two books show the love of God in a powerful story. Tony's Tales did well in 2022. Now we want to provide two more of Tony's Tales! These inspiring stories show how God's grace protected his life. We need $ 1,500—dollars to print, ship, and distribute these two books. Please pray about how you could help us publish these two books. You can order a copy of our first book Tonys Tales, at our website, Book Store Link Click Here https://tonyandfriends.org/tony-%26-friends-store. We have our first book available in paperback and hardback. The pictures are watercolor painted, and the book has a clear gospel presentation. Your child will enjoy reading these stories of Tony's Boyhood Adventures. Your gift for the book will help our ministry and the Gospel shared with students in the inner cities. It is a Win Win Win! A win for you, a win for our ministry, and a win for the Lord as the Gospel goes forth. We also finished an exciting book called "Youth Outreach Purpose and Pursuit."
