Street Witness by Joan Cook
"And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did." John 4:39
While in Costa Rica, on a mission project, I had the opportunity to speak with a girl in a plaza in downtown San Jose. While our team was performing a drama and preaching in the plaza, a girl named Ann Marie walked up to me and asked to receive a booklet that we were passing out.
The booklet was the Gospel of John and after giving her a copy I began talking with her about the Bible. She began telling me how she did not know much about God or the Bible. It was a great opportunity for me to talk with her about who God was and how He had changed my life. She listened very intently to my personal testimony and was amazed to find out how much Jesus loved her and had a wonderful plan for her life. God had used me to help make a difference in her life!
In the book of John, chapter 4, the Bible tells us that the woman at the well had an encounter with Jesus. She then hurried to tell others what He had done for her. The Bible says, "many believed because of the testimony of the woman!" Just one lady had made a dramatic difference in so many lives just by sharing what Christ had done in her own life. Sharing your own personal encounter with Jesus can change someone's life forever. We can make a difference in the lives of those we meet.
Do not underestimate what one person, YOU, can do for the kingdom!
Daily Prayer Focus: Focus on the one thing that keeps you from sharing your faith or living for God. Decide today to give that issue to God and move into God's perfect will for your life.
On The Go Prayer Focus: The physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial needs of people hurting all over the United States and Worldwide. As God gives us opportunity in times of crisis we need to rapidly move to help.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.

Our World!
Our World! By Keith Cook
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
We need to understand our world.
Our world is a Dark World full of evil, violence, drugs, sex, and abuse. Evil gets more vocal and front page all the time. Once we are shocked often enough we then become complacent and numb to the abnormal and profane.
Our world is also a very vocal Third World full of hungry, needy and emerging people. Because of past neglect and abuse many of the under capitalized nations of the world are bitter and angry.
Our world also includes an Old World full of the status quo, with people looking for security and safety. They have become very traditional and nationalistic. Often they have outdated, time warped solutions to new and modern problems.
Our world includes a Disney World of fantasy and childish unrealistic expectations. Children and adults are allowed to live out of control with no absolutes and no moral compass.
There are some in our world who are Out of this World. Computers and technology is pulling us into the new millennium faster than most want to go. The future is here now.
You may think that you have special insulation from worldliness. You have it all figured out. You think you can escape worldliness. You have got God figured out and have put God in a box. Do you go to God when times start getting tough? Let Christ in your religion and allow the Holy Spirit of God to move in your heart and take hold of every area of your life.
Ask yourself:
1. Is the world in you? How is it obvious?
2. How do you hide it from others?
3. What are you going to do about it?
Daily Prayer Focus: God, search me and know me, try me and see if there be any wicked way in me. Continue to set me apart from the world as I am sent out to the world!
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's Neighborhood Outreach Program. In reality, very little is being done to reach people in many communities across the USA. On The Go is striving to train local Christians and help them develop programs that can systematically and permanently reach real needs in their neighborhoods.

Why Serve God?
Why Serve God? by Keith Cook
"Do you not say there are yet four months and then comes harvest? Behold I say to you, Lift Up Your Eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest." John 4:35
NEWS EVENT: On The Go Staff will be ministering in San Pedro Island, Belize - July 14-25, 2018. We will be hosting several outreaches including a Men's and Women Conference, Festival of Hope, and local Churches. We Covet Your Prayers!
There are several reasons people serve God.
1. For Fame - They want to make a name for themselves. They want to help the poor "heathen people."
2. For Fun - They think that mission trips, ministry, and service to others take them to exciting places. They want to have fun and meet other people.
3. For Adventure or Fantasy - They want to have a great experience with the culture or blaze a trail that no one has ever been on.
4. For Family - Their parents or spouse want them to minister and they agree to do ministry to save face or go along with the family on a project.
5. For Escape - They have nothing better to do and it will get them away from school or job for a while.
6. For Peers - Everyone else is going and they do not want to be left out.
7. For God - They are called by God and want to make a difference for Christ. They have lifted their eyes and looked on the fields that are ready for harvest.
Which one of the above represents you?
We serve God because...
He died for us.
He asked us to go for Him.
He loves the lost and so do we.
He will be with us as we go.
He will use us if we are "on the go" for Him!
Why serve God? Because He served us!
After taking thousands of people all over the world and all over the United States to do ministry I have experienced all of the above reasons why people want to go for God. When I find someone who really wants to go for God and they give all they have for Him I usually have made a co-worker for life.
Is God calling you to Go for Him?
Are you willing to listen and do what He says?
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that God will purify every wrong motivation that you may have for serving Him.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's GoKids Clubs. The focus of GoKids Clubs is to present a clear Gospel message to young children in our festivals, missions, and local neighborhoods. Pray for On The Go as we minister to boys and girls and share with them the love of Jesus Christ.

A Rain Drop and A Cloud
A Rain Drop and A Cloud by Laurie McTier
"By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night." Exodus 13:21
God promises to equip you and prepare you for the work that He has called you to do. He will not send you out into the field and desert you. He will enable you to fulfill the calling He has given to you.
While on a GoTeam Outreach in Mexico, Keith sent word that the prayer focus for Thursday was that God would give us a raindrop and a cloud.
Praise God for prayer warriors! God's cloud and covering was obvious as we ministered in a local school and community. He had reserved a cloud specifically for our team. Everywhere we went, His covering followed the team. We even had an afternoon rain "shower" which lasted about 30 minutes, and cooled things off for the rest of the day. Until that moment, the only shower I had ever actually seen in Mexico was a few raindrops lasting five minutes at the most.
As you set out to serve God today, rest assured that His Spirit lives within you. God goes before us, behind us, and alongside each of His children. Pray specifically for the needs of those to whom you will be ministering to today. Seek His face. May God reveal Himself to you in a much more intimate way. He wants you to draw near to Him, for His word promises, as we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.
Daily Prayer Focus: Lord, thank you for answered prayer. Thank you for being the same yesterday, today and forever.
On The Go Prayer Focus: The "On The Go Daily" 2 Minute Radio & Podcast Program. This is a daily program airing across the United States, and World via the internet and radio stations. "On The Go Daily" is used to encourage, challenge, and motivate Christians in their daily walk. Pray for Keith, Joan, the On The Go Staff, and special guests as they share on these 2 minute broadcasts. You can hear these programs via our website if it is not available in your area.

A REAL MAN
A REAL MAN - by Keith Cook
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11
MATURE - A Real Man is Mature In All Respects
A real man has put aside childish things and has spiritually grown up. That is not to say that he does not have fun or suddenly becomes somber and serious, but it does mean that every area of a Godly man's life is maturing and growing under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
ADVANCING - A Real Man is Advancing The Kingdom Of God
A true man takes care of his family and career but he also makes sure the Kingdom of God is advancing. He helps his local church by giving of his time, talents, money, and prayers. He ministers in his community. He assists other ministries as they go around the world for Jesus. He truly sees his place in ministry and does not run from his responsibilities to be a man of God. He does not loose focus of being a part of God's overall plan for winning the lost.
NEW NATURE - A Real Man is Controlled by a NEW Nature.
His character and conscience is clean. The man he is in public is the man he is in private.
His children see him as real and not fake. His wife knows he is not a hypocrite and that he is trustworthy.
Everyday the real man of God is getting in the Word of God and searching the scriptures and asking God to show him any wicked way that may be in his life.
Being controlled by the Holy Spirit takes daily dying to self and a minute-by-minute dependence on God's provision and right to direct one's life.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that God will continue to raise up Real Men who are serious in their walk with Him and seeking to Mature, Advance, and be Controlled by a New Nature.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's "Adopt An Evangelist" program. This program provides funding and support for various missions and evangelists around the world.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.

Man Of God
Man Of God by Keith Cook based on 3 John
Rise up men of God. God is looking for you to be a champion for Him in our day and time. In order to be a "Man of God" you must look into His Word and heed His advice. Listed below are seven things God wants you to know about being a "Man of God."
1. You are Loved by God and by those who are spiritual (3 John 1)
God really loves you and wants you to know that you are appreciated by all those who are in the truth. Godly men appreciate other men who are striving to be Godly. The "Godly Man's Club" is always looking for new members.
God has always looked for men to lead His church and lead out in society. When a man feels the love of God and knows he has a purpose in life he will follow God's call to the ends of the earth.
2. You must be Prayed Up (3 John 2)
Pray if you want to be a man of God. Do not neglect your devotional times with God. Pray to God about every area of your life. When you can not pray you are often in need of prayer the most. Repent and go to God immediately. Do not let sin, pride, time, or habits, rob you of your spiritual power.
3. You must be Spoken Well Of (3 John 3)
Walking In Faith produces results and people actually take notice. They know you have been with Jesus. Walk in a way worthy of your call. You are a Christian. This means you are "Christ Like."
4. A man of God Works To Help Others (3 John 5)
You help them Accomplish much. You also join in the Accomplishment. There is a greater Joy that comes into your life when you act faithful in regards to others. Send Out Ministers In A Way Worthy of God. You ought to support those who go out for the sake of the Name.
5. A man of God is Rewarded For Helping Others (3 John 8)
There is joy and a promise of God's favor for those who help others. God will help you as you help others.
6. Don't Work against God's Plan or Man (3 John 9)
Fight hard against that manly nature that wants his way and his opinion to rule the day. Learn how to work with others and not have to have your plan and opinion set the agenda of your church or ministry. Relax and let God direct. If someone in spiritual authority is living in sin go to them and rebuke them in private. Then if they repent you have a brother for life. Do not fight in public or sow discord in private.
7. Imitate Good Not Evil - (3 John 11)
Make sure you have godly mentors in your life. Sports personalities and corporate leaders are not always the best models to learn from. Look to God to help you learn how to be a man. A real man of God is constantly growing and working on his spiritual life. Avoid evil and do good.
Daily Prayer Focus: Create in me a Clean Heart O God. Fashion me into your Image.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The GoAudio Podcasts and Radio Ministries. Currently we are producing various programs which go over the internet and international airwaves. Pray that God will continue to bless the On The GoAudio Podcasts and that He will expand the listening base. Visit OnTheGo.org to hear past broadcasts.

Rise up men of God. God is looking for you to be a champion for Him in our day and time. In order to be a "Man of God" you must look into His Word and heed His advice. Listed below are seven things God wants you to know about being a "Man of God."
1. You are Loved by God and by those who are spiritual (3 John 1)
God really loves you and wants you to know that you are appreciated by all those who are in the truth. Godly men appreciate other men who are striving to be Godly. The "Godly Man's Club" is always looking for new members.
God has always looked for men to lead His church and lead out in society. When a man feels the love of God and knows he has a purpose in life he will follow God's call to the ends of the earth.
2. You must be Prayed Up (3 John 2)
Pray if you want to be a man of God. Do not neglect your devotional times with God. Pray to God about every area of your life. When you can not pray you are often in need of prayer the most. Repent and go to God immediately. Do not let sin, pride, time, or habits, rob you of your spiritual power.
3. You must be Spoken Well Of (3 John 3)
Walking In Faith produces results and people actually take notice. They know you have been with Jesus. Walk in a way worthy of your call. You are a Christian. This means you are "Christ Like."
4. A man of God Works To Help Others (3 John 5)
You help them Accomplish much. You also join in the Accomplishment. There is a greater Joy that comes into your life when you act faithful in regards to others. Send Out Ministers In A Way Worthy of God. You ought to support those who go out for the sake of the Name.
5. A man of God is Rewarded For Helping Others (3 John 8)
There is joy and a promise of God's favor for those who help others. God will help you as you help others.
6. Don't Work against God's Plan or Man (3 John 9)
Fight hard against that manly nature that wants his way and his opinion to rule the day. Learn how to work with others and not have to have your plan and opinion set the agenda of your church or ministry. Relax and let God direct. If someone in spiritual authority is living in sin go to them and rebuke them in private. Then if they repent you have a brother for life. Do not fight in public or sow discord in private.
7. Imitate Good Not Evil - (3 John 11)
Make sure you have godly mentors in your life. Sports personalities and corporate leaders are not always the best models to learn from. Look to God to help you learn how to be a man. A real man of God is constantly growing and working on his spiritual life. Avoid evil and do good.

The Power In Jesus Name
The Power In Jesus Name by Keith Cook
"Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of Jesus." Colossians 3:17
In our culture parents give their children names for many different reasons.
Some name their children after relatives, to honor the memory and legacy of that particular family member.
Some name their children after hero's and celebrities. I have a friend who named their son Walker after "Walker Texas Ranger."
Many give their children names based on fads and cultural trends.
Some of the most popular names for boys and girls born last year were:
Baby Girl Names: Emily, Emma, Madison, Abigail, Olivia, Isabella, Hannah, Samantha, Ava, Ashley
Baby Boy Names: Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew, Ethan, Andrew, Daniel, Anthony, Christopher, Joseph
Some name their children after biblical personalities or because of the actual meaning behind the name.
The name Gene means Well born, Bobby - Bright Fame, Don - Ruler, Harry - Home Ruler, Ray - Counselor & Protector, Alan - Handsome", Keith - Mighty Warrior, Joan - God's Gift.
Names in Old Testament and New Testament reflected the hopes and dreams of entire families as well as the destiny and divine nature of God's redemptive plan as it unfolded down through the ages.
David's name meant Beloved, Moses - Drawn out one, Abraham - Father of a multitude, Jacob - Trickster, Israel - He will rule, Peter - Rock.
Jesus name means Jehovah (Yahweh) is Savior. Jehovah is the redemptive name of God in the Old Testament and it means the "self-Existing One or the Eternal One." Yahweh literally means "He is." I am that I am! Jesus name manifests His Character (Purity), Presence (Eternal), Power (Unlimited) and Authority (Divine)!
Jesus came to earth to save all mankind. He came to rescue all from danger. He also came to keep his flock safe and sound for now and through eternity. The real power in Jesus name is Jesus himself. There is nothing magical about the letters that form the name. Frantically yelling out Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, will not help anyone. But, calling on the name of the Lord represented by the name Jesus will. When you call out to the Saviour of mankind He hears. When you call on Him to direct your life He will. Call on the real Jesus. Do not take the name of the Lord you God in Vain!
Daily Prayer Focus: Praise God that when you call on Jesus name, all things are possible.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Joan Cook's "Women On The Go" Ministries. Joan's "Women On The Go" programs are implemented at women's conferences, local churches, retreats, and separate stand-alone events. God has given her a burden to minister to and encourage women in their walk with the Lord. Pray for Joan as she ministers and shares from her heart and as she presents motivational, evangelistic programs, materials, and leadership to and for women that will challenge and motivate them to a deeper walk with the Lord.
