Above "RAVEN Head Club" - Must be just skin to get in! From left: Big Johnny Johnson, Terry Shuff, Dave Andreson, and Nick Castro.This was an awesome trip out to Hanover, Pennsylvania, York, Pa. and Westminster, Maryland. We traveled 1350 miles round trip and the van and trailer did excellent. We drove in the hills and mountains for what seemed like forever. It was so worth it though to see the joy on the peoples faces and we arrived and set up on Saturday. The kids were so awesome as they are everywhere we go!!
We had an awesome team also consisting of "The Prathaftakis Family", Lance, Leigh, Layne and Cole, Kim Dubash, Big Johnny Johnson, and Dave Andreson. The team worked together like a well oiled machine. We so much appreciate the giving that the team put out whether it was labor, love, financial or whatever. It was all good!!! I know that each of us were taken to a new level on this trip. We also want to thank Pastor Sam & Lucy and all the others that opened up their houses to us and made us feel so welcome. We love you guys!!!
Brother Nick Castro from Texas was a huge blessing to us also!! Get this brother on his guitar and it is good!!! The brother can "sang"!!
Pastor Alex Hill from RAVEN Austin leads Jaime to the Lord!!!!!! Jaime was so fired up that he took the invite from Pastor Sam to come to church on Sunday then brought a friend (Justin) who also gave his life to the Lord. I look for these brothers to be on the streets before long telling people what Jesus has done for them!!!
I spent a large part of the day with this family. They are so special and were so open to hearing the Word of God!! The three young girls hung out at my grill for a long time. They were so open to hearing what JESUS could and would do in their lives if they would just give their lives unconditionally to HIM!!! Dad did not want to come over but wanted a hamburger so I set this brother up a "triple stacker" and he gave me a big thumbs up when the girls gave it to him. Mama also wanted one later so I set her up with a double with hot peppers between the burgers. The girls and the rest of the family laughed as mama bit into it. Mama thought is was funny too and it was such a blessing to me to see them having such a good time. They were having a good time not because we were there but because JESUS sent us there and they could feel his presence. I can not begin to tell you what a blessing it is to be out with these people if you have never been out before. There is no football game or any other worldly thing that can match it!! I was close to tears leaving this family because of the joy they brought me!! Thank you JESUS for the opportunity to go and be your mouth, hands, and feet!!!
Donna was such a blessing to the kids!! We had a massive amount of kids out there and many of them were so young. This area is called "The Jungle" and some would not even come to get food when invited because they said that "we do not go into the jungle" or we do not go on "that street". The area on Saturday was very tame and the joy of the Lord was in the air!!!
