Update

Testimonies:
The last few weeks have been amazing. Here are a few brief testimonies:
1) A few weeks ago a guy caught my attention because he was making loud comments about the "South winning" in response to the cross. By the end of the conversation, we were both on our knees in the middle of Del Playa, in front of the girl he was in a fornicating relationship with, and he prayed to get right with the Lord. He will be moving here in January and sounds enthusiastic about doing ministry.
2) The same night, a freshman girl was on her way home and I stopped her to tell her about Jesus, she ended up convicted and prayed to get right with the Lord. She might be attending our Bible studies.
3) Two weeks ago, an atheist approached the cross and told Daniel "You have one minute". The "atheist" walked home with Daniel's Bible in his hand, crying and praising the God that he came to believe in on Del Playa.

The Team:
As of now, our team consists of myself (Joshua), Kyle, Daniel, Phillip, Paul, and Joe. Many others have gotten involved, but as of now these are the names of those who are consistantly on the streets.

Ministry Opportunities:
We basically have two ministries currently happening for those interested:

Del Playa Street Church: On Friday and Saturday nights, anywhere from 5-15 believers gather on Del Playa with a big cross and sometimes a speaker and open air preach and witness. Amazing opportunity to learn how to witness. We meet at my house 6679 Abrego before going out, times are inconsistant, so call me (7073276343), Daniel (8057294023), or Paul (8054554242) if you are interested.

Storke Plaza Pulpit: On Wednesday's at about 1:45 PM, I open air preach on the stairs in front of Storke Plaza. Kyle stands by to witness to those who approach. Interestingly, the past two times I've preached, as soon as I'm done Kyle's managed to spot somebody with a hurt leg, and he's prayed for them each time. So it's a good spot to hear the Word, preach the Word, or receive some healing.

Our Needs:
1) Prayer
2) More laborers (The harvest is PLENTIFUL!), God wants availability, not ability
3) Literature (Bibles, Gospel Tracts, Gospels)
4) Homeless Kits

Upcoming:
1) Halloween Outreach: The entire Raven Westcoast team (coming from LA, Santa Rosa, Berkely, SLO, Davis) will be in Isla Vista for Saturday night (October 31). Lodging is provided by Daniel's church. Please join us, you will learn A LOT just by being around these folks!
2) Bible Study: Most likely next Thursday we will start a Bible study at my house. Stay posted for details.
3) Homeless Outreach: We don't have a set date, but our team has been talking about packing our bags with food and clothes and spending a day seeking the least of these (Matthew 25:40).
4) Skid Row Outreach?: SLO and SB might unite and head down south. It's still in the air, pray that we attain knowledge of God's will on this one.
