LITERATURE DISTRIBUTION SMASHING SUCCESS

Today Ralph Ovadal, Pastor of Pilgrims Covenant Church in Monroe, WI., and a group of about 20 met with over 25 Wisconsin Marriage Defenders. We flooded Oshkosh with tracts (reaching some 7,000 homes) that gave the truth about homosexuality and same-sex "marriage" as well as a gospel presentation (see them at: http://www.pccmonroe.org/Homosexuality/Truth.htm).

We also picketed with signs containing scripture and other truths. You can see some of the signs at http://www.pccmonroe.org/Newsletters.htm

The main group set up their picket on the corner near the old Wal Mart. A smaller group of us set up a secondary picket a block away. Someone mooned the main group. Too bad no one had a snowball ready to hit the target. Our group received 10-12 one-fingered salutes, several heckles, and one instance of two guys kissing.

It was cold while we were standing out there with the signs, but 90% of the reaction we got from passers-by was positive.

EARLY RESULTS 12-21-05:

Ralph says he's gotten some 40+ hate calls as a result of our lit drop Saturday. He said it's the biggest reaction he's received outside of Madison. That tells us that we really hit a nerve here.

Apparently Oshkosh is more of a homosexual haven than we realized. A couple of the leaders of "Action Wisconsin" live here. One of them owns the art museum and the other - I know you'll never believe this, owns a beauty parlor - he's a hairdresser. Who would ever expect a homosexual activist to be a hairdresser?

It also might be because we've been pushing back. We've counter-protested at two of their rallies, and hosted our own (got better press coverage at *their* rallies), and now this lit drop and picket (with more planned). They know they have opposition in Oshkosh. They know this is where they have to fight back.
