Bus Ministry Resources
By Dr. Jack Hyles Dr. Jack Hyles is an American hero! He was loyal Pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana from August, 1959 to February, 2001. Through God's power Pastor Hyles built “The World's Largest Sunday School” (which was in the Guinness world book of records) with over 25,000 people in attendance every Sunday. Dr. Hyles did what everyone else said was impossible, and bless his heart, he has written dozens of “How To” books telling us exactly how he did it.
Let's Build A
First Baptist Church soared to a membership of over 100,000 and averaged 10,000 baptisms per year for the last five years of Dr. Hyles ministry. Pastor Hyles tells us how he did it in his book... For many years, the church has been acclaimed to have the "World's Largest Sunday School." Millions of people from the Chicagoland area were reached for Christ by Dr. Hyles' bus ministry, including myself. Thank God for Jack Hyles!!!
"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." —Luke 14:23 "God stands in no need of our strength or wisdom, but of our ignorance, of our weakness; let us but give these to Him, and He can make use of us in winning souls." —Pastor Dwight L. Moody
If you're tired of deeper-life preachers, dead churches and empty pews—find an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church with a Bus Ministry! The Devil wants you to find a church with entertainment instead, but that's not going to help you grow spiritually. We all need PREACHING!!! (awesome video sermon by Pastor Danny Castle—the Bus Ministry is like fishing with a big net!) To start a bus ministry you've got to do 3 things:
The reason why we run buses is so that Jesus Christ can touch children's lives... Mark 10:13, “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” Those children couldn't come on their own, someone had to bring them! When the disciples tried to stop them, the Lord was MUCH DISPLEASED! |

"There is much mourning today
over false 'isms,' infidelity, and the like, but sum them all up, and I
do not fear them one half so much as that dead and cold formalism that
has crept into the Church of God." —Pastor D.L. Moody
"God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the
Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over
Christianity. And if you think that anybody is going to frighten me, you
don't know me yet." —Billy
Sunday, The Need of Revivals.
Jesus is Precious! Compel Them To Come In!
Some preachers hypocritically say that they don't believe in putting
cows up on the roof to get people into church. They criticize using
candy, goldfish and promotions to draw children to come to church. Yet,
if your church has padded pews, air-conditioning and chili suppers,
you're already bribing your adults to come to church. Bless God, if we
can give away goldfish or hotdogs to get children to come hear about
Jesus, then so be it. Jesus said in Luke 14:23, “And the lord said
unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel
them to come in, that my house may be filled.” The Lord said
that He wants His house “FILLED,” and to “COMPEL THEM TO COME IN.” That
includes giving away pizza, candy, basketballs, going to the zoo after
church, water-balloon fights, having a bus-captain swallow a live
goldfish, ice cream sundaes, et cetera. PRAISE GOD FOR THE BUS
KIDS!!!
"It is the only happy life to live for the
salvation of souls.”
Starting a bus ministry is one of the best
ways to create excitement and bring a church to life. Of course, if the
pulpit is DEAD, then nothing else matters. I see churches all across
America with a bunch of grey haired and bald heads. There are no young
people!
Billy Sunday was correct, who said if
we're going to defeat the Devil, then we have to hit him with the cradle
instead of the crutch! Young people want to be a part of something
growing, not dying!!! Most churches are dead like a spiritual morgue!
"...Why stand ye here all the day idle?"
—Matthew 20:6 Books by Dr. John R. Rice
"Trying to run a church without revivals can be done when you can run a
gasoline engine on buttermilk."
—Evangelist Billy Sunday

"Old-fashioned, Spirit-filled,
Christ-honoring, sin-hating, soul-winning,
Bible preaching! It is the
hope of the church! It is the hope of the nation!
It is the hope of the
world!"
