Bike Week - Daytona Beach



We just completed our second night on the streets last night. Coming from Mardi Gras, this is a totally different type of ministry. You don't have the people denouncing Jesus but you have the people over swollen with pride and worshipping the god of Harley Davidson. So many make their bike their God and serve it. It seems like they would rather be dead than be with their bike. We have had several already that have given their life to Jesus. There are bikes everywhere!! I think about how all this money that people spend for these bikes could be used to further the KINGDOM????
Pastor Troy ministers to a young guy that was partying on the streets. RAVEN Deb and I led Deana to the Lord last night. She came down from New York to spend time with a guy that just wanted to use her. Deana was on her knees with us as she repented before the Lord!! Now all she wants to do is get back home and get her life on track. Deana grew up Catholic and lost! Now she is found and RAVEN Deb is going to setup an online discipleship with her.

This brother went up and down Main Street with his chopper. He had lights hooked up to it and it is very good on gas??????????? (Below) Pastor Troy with Mike from Tennessee who is always at Mardi Gras (familiar sign) and also Scott from West Palm Beach, Florida.


Pastor Troy and Deb ministered to this man who was homeless with his life all messed up and he was away from his 3 year old daughter who lives in Indianapolis.

Will told me that he hoped he was saved. I was able to plant a good seed in him showing why he wasn't saved and how the life he is living is not the life that Jesus wants him to live. He had a background with the Lord but had fallen away. He said that he was going to get back to a relationship with Jesus.

Christopher is homeless and living on the beach. He was trying to drown all of his sorrows in alcohol. He just got out of 6 years in prison, lost his mom, and has a sister that is hooked on crack. He came from a church that taught the "once saved always saved lie". He looked at me shocked with tears in his eyes as I told him that if he was to die tonight that he would spend eternity in hell. He absorbed the Word and said that he would call me before I leave so that we could spend some more time together. We bought him some food and headed out for the night. Actually, it ended up being 4:00 a.m. before we got to bed.
