Greetings Fam! Hope you’re doing great!
As you may have heard, all throughout the month of June, I was having website issues, so I wasn’t able to write my God reports on time but…here’s a little recap of a few highlights.
The Bayfront Park outreaches have been going very well. O’Leary’s is back up and running so the crowds are definitely bigger. One week when we were out there (right after we had prayed the night before for more unity within the body of Christ) we unified with a Ukrainian Church that was out there doing outreach (with live music!) before we got there. The church is called “Jesus Church Bradenton” and joining with them was super fun and fruitful!
This is the pastor along with his interpreter:
Here’s a few clips from that night. There was quite a mighty Jesus team there!
I’m believing that seeing them out there doing the same thing, and then subsequently joining with them was a sign of more unification of God’s army to come!
At Riverwalk, we had the usual series of Divine appointments and people praying to receive Jesus, but one interaction I had really stood out. It was with a young boy whom we met at the park many months ago. We hadn’t seen him since that night, but he came up to me in the parking lot with eyes wide and excitedly asked me if I remembered him. He then told me that he thinks about us a lot and that he reads the God’s promises book we gave him often. It was SO cool to see a real glimpse into the longer-term impact that we are making on these kids. Here he is:
Another cool God thing that happened was not only a display of God’s power but also His sense of humor. One night at Riverwalk I prayed for two kids that were friends named…Chris and Sophia to receive Jesus! Here they are:
At Siesta, we had several rainy nights, so we had to just go with the flow in the pavilion. Thankfully though we were able to play Passion of the Christ on the concession stand wall and talk to people one on one. We still handed out many tracts and prayed for several people to receive Jesus during those weeks. This girl receiving prayer was even wearing a “Cannibal Corpse” T Shirt, which definitely shows how much she had been flirting with the dark side.
We also met a young man named Justin who is a relatively new believer, and he has gotten lit up for evangelism and has been out with us now for a few weeks in a row. Super cool to see that!
Speaking of getting lit up for Jesus, I got this text from our fellow warrior Rachael on my birthday (which was on June 9th) which was a huge encouragement:
And, a few days before my birthday I got to share a message at The Front Port Charlotte about the mighty move of God we are seeing across America. It will definitely encourage you:
I also want to give a big shout out to the entire team who held things down while Sofiya and I traveled to the Carolina’s for her brother’s wedding. It’s a great feeling to know that we can go away for an entire weekend on assignment and have the 941-soul winning fire continue to burn. I’ll have more to share about that trip soon, as the Lord showed me several powerful things through our journey.
Much love and many blessings!
