"FRIDAY NIGHT STREET CHURCH"

This is Curtis (above), he is a regular in one of our Friday Night locations. I did not have many opportunities to take pictures so I was taken them of Curtis as he stood next to me. Curtis is one that loves the Lord, he has cried as we have ministered to him but he keeps going back to following the enemy. Please pray for Curtis that he will get on track for Jesus and not go back. He has made progress from when we first met him but he can't go two weeks without returning to the bar. The pictures were taken in fun and he had as much fun looking at them as we did. What isn't funny is the condition of his life. When hell is discussed with Curtis tears will start to flow. We will continue to love on him and minster God's Word to him. Curtis and Eileen (below).
This picture really shows how empty his life really is. He hasn't taken me up on it yet but I told him that I want to buy him lunch then start discipling him away from all the madness.
I spent a long time with "Wolfman" tonight. This brother sounds exactly like Wolfman Jack when he talks. Wolfman told me all about different things in his life. Part of which was raising 12 kids which is something that you don't see much of. Wolfman loves Jesus but he also loves alcohol. I warned him that the two do not mix and he had alot of excuses. I will continue to build a relationship with him and believe that he will give his life totally to Jesus. He is one that thinks he is saved because of something that happened years ago.

It was a full moon and their was alot of wildness on the streets tonight. One of those nights where more wanted to argue rather than talk. There was a situation where two women started to get into a fight. They were pulled apart but kept wanting to go after each other. Eileen is very bold on the streets, sometimes I have to reel her back in. She went to one of the ladies names Meka who was totally out of control. Eileen placed her hands on Meka shoulders and asked her if she could pray for her. Eileen immediately started praying and a calmness came over Meka and that was the end of the fight. I gave a "JESUS penny" to a lady that seemed to be really hurting then as the lady stared at the penny Eileen went over and ministered to her. It turned out that she was a lesbian because later her partner came over to Eileen thinking that we were just more people from the bar.

She asked Eileen if she liked the other lady and Eileen explained why she was talking to her. Conviction immediately fell over this lady and she kept apologizing and saying "I did not mean you any disrespect, I'm sorry. A homosexual was with them and it spilled onto him asking us to come to Washington Gardens Projects to see him because he wants Jesus in his life!!

Michele Ware joined Eileen and I last night, she had an encounter with a brother that was walking by us acting all "gangsta" and I said to him, "come here brother and let's talk" he said, "what do you want to talk about" and I said "JESUS". He walked over to me like he was the authority on the subject. He told us that he had done 15 years in prison and that he had studied all the religions. Michele took over talking to him and he was very arrogant and mean. What had happened was conviction had fell on him and the only thing he knew was rudeness and profanity.

He asked if God was a God of love and we said "he sure is". Then he tried to tell us that God loves Satan. This brother was mixed up BIG TIME!! Michele did a great job of ministering TRUTH to him and letting him know the REAL DEAL!! Michele is a RAVEN that loves JESUS and loves the streets and if she is in town she is calling us to see what time we are hitting it. She is always a blessing to have out there with us. We need more people to join us!!

Matthew 9:37 - HE said to HIS disciples, "The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few".

Next week will be awesome as we hit South Michigan St. in South Bend for "Friday Night Street Church" then return the following day for an outreach in the area of The Crossing Alternative School. The school is located right across the street from "The Torch" and "Peaches" strip joints. This is a prime area for us to take God's Word!!! We will have many of the kids from the school out with us that day to assist. This is also a way for them to work off their community service hours.

COME OUT AND JOIN US IN SERVING THE LORD!!
