Outreach

Tonight's outreach was obviously blessed by the Lord. Josh, Jose, Trevin, and Ben were the four Raven Team Members who went out and got six pizza's and set out to preach the uncompromised gospel. We set them on the table and people came, hungry for food and for the word. Send your prayers out to Kurt who accepted the Lord alongside his brother Rudy, and for the first time in awhile is no longer contemplating suicide. Their cousin James also asked Jesus to enter his life with tears in his eyes. Pray for Noah and Louie who will come to the AGO Christian Fraternity and shower on Sunday morning for the first time in a long time and will then go to Reality Church with Ben and Trevin in an effort to increase their faith. Pray for "Mom" who was baptized a year ago and has had trouble staying "on track". We promised to go back and help her read the Bible and understand how to stay on the path of righteousness. 6 pizza's were eaten tonight, about 10 bibles were passed out, and many clothes were handed out. Ben took off his socks and shoes and gave them to Noah, then walked home barefoot. Praise the Lord that ministry like this is possible in the party scene that is Isla Vista. God willing, this ministry will grow, more will join, and more will be saved. Among all things, there will be a Bible study and worship held tomorrow night in the Isla Vista Park, where all the local homeless people live. The best part is that at least 5 of the people we met tonight said as we left "see you tomorrow night". They are hungry for the word. Pray that we have the wisdom to say what the Lord wants these people to hear.

Raven SB Begins

Today Raven Westcoast expands as the Santa Barbara Ministry begins. Josh Rowden and Jose Valle will set up card tables with a few pizzas and twenty bibles and preach the uncompromised gospel. Our Mission is to pray and be an answer to prayers.
"The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same." Luke 3:9.
We realize that only by following the Word can we fulfill His true purpose for our lives. When we read:
"Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder." James 2:18-19
We do not make excuses for why our faith lacks deeds we let the convinction inside of our hearts fire us up to do the will of God! We pray for boldness and we pray for wisdom as we go into the world to preach the Gospel!
