This was the first night doing ministry in Del Playa Drive since last school year. It was a long summer for all of us. Ben truly found the Lord in mid July, and has been on fire ever since. Logan went through some up’s and down’s and some trials but now he’s dedicated once again to seeing souls restored. I spent the summer traveling the country preaching with Operation Impact www.operationimpact.info. Kyle spent the summer in Santa Barbara seeing the Lord move and catching a vision for how he wants to serve Jesus full time. The four of us headed out to Del Playa at about 11:30. We brought “John the Baptist” (A wireless mic and speaker to make some noise on party streets) and Logan’s guitar. When we got to Del Playa it wasn’t too crowded and there wasn’t a lot of noise, so “John the Baptist” wasn’t necessary. Logan started playing worship with his guitar while Ian and his brother Brendan showed up with a drum and joined Logan in worship. People flocked to the praise and worship and many were witnessed too. A lot of people from the Jesus Burger house came out to see what was going on and a few of them witnessed. It’s good to have Christians getting involved in reaching Del Playa. My pastor, mentor, and soon to be father-in-law Troy Bohn has said “We reach the multitude with the multitude”. In Matthew 9:36 Jesus was moved with compassion when he saw the multitudes and he prayed that the Lord of the harvest would send WORKERS into the fields. Immanuel (God among us) prayed that more of us would hit the harvest fields. God’s answered enough of our prayers now we’re given an opportunity to answer his prayer if we just GO. Kyle brought out a “Free prayer” sign and that attracted people like chum in a pond of fish. By the end many seeds were planted and a lot of people received prayer. Keep praying for us and if you are a Christian living in Santa Barbara don’t miss out, get to Del Playa with us! GOSPEL starts with GO.
