Worcester "War stir"

Now I will be completely updated. This past weekend, Half of us went to Maine and half went to Worcester, MA. Going to Worcster it was overcast, rainy and as we past the numberous liquor stores, homeless people and bars I could feel the hopelessness in the air. Right when we turned on the exit, I had a random dwelling in my mind about my future plans. I was worring about my future. I realized what God wanted to bring people of Worcester was Hope for a future.

We stayed at this 122 year old "Pilgrim Congregational" Church. Able to seat one thousand, was now a congregation of ten people. The people we teamed with (The Woo Church) was sharing the building ( lots of extra space). The main sanctuary being all dusty yet beautiful is only used in funerals. Dave (Mass.) and I had the unique and great experience of climbing inside the huge pipe organ. This thing had ladders and two by four walk ways in it. I came out with one hundred year old dust on me, but that didn't bother me.

Saturday: we split in two group into two coffee shops. Interpreting dreams. It was very hard to do dreams here. My group had three people out of four hours being there. We had more effect just walking out on the streets.

A homeless and drunk lady literally ran into Sharon (South Carolina) then started crying. From then on she followed our group for the rest of the day. She didn't know why she was drawn to us. Brandon Crummer (Maui) would show love to her and tell her God loved her. She would at one instant refuse with disgust then the next moment ask "why are you so nice?". This woman was unfortunately prostituting herself in order to get alcohol. She would later come to The Woo's service. I got to meet and sit with her while she was drunk, heckling the speaker. She later couldn't take anymore church so Brandon and I walked her out. Through her drunkeness she asked why we were so nice to her and huged us, walking away. She's going to be changed forever.

Many more encounters happend that day, that brought hope to people who need it.

Jewish music, Jewish Dancing and American Patriotism

Last weekend we went to Boston for a Night to Bless Israel. There we helped set up a night with Jewish music, Jewish Dancing, prayer and American Patriotism. It was quite the experience. The event was held in a decent size meeting room in the State house of Boston. Huge massive banners, flags were hung at the front. Many of the guys walked around with smaller banners that represented the twelve tribes of Israel. After the music there were speakers talking about the importance of supporting Israel. A few pastors and a woman Rabbi spoke. While this was going on, sitting by the window I could hear Palestinian protestors outside yelling "Free Palestine, Free Palestine".

Hearing them yelling, my mind went to news images of rock throwing kids and suicide bombers. This unfortunately caused some fear. Later I found out there were only two them. James (Michigan) and Brandon Crummer (Maui) had an encounter with them later that night. Their purpose was to draw out hatred toward them, but unfortunately for them, Brandon and James apologized for a former response someone else did to them. This just got them more angry calling James and Brandon Satanists.

The Day before we all walked around the city. Boston is a beautiful city, I greatly enjoyed walking around talking to people from all walks of life; Homeless, Christian Preachers, Gays, etc. God was showing us to be atmosphere changers and boy did we; Blessing, loving, cleaning. The streets of Boston was different that day.

Last weekend we went to an outreach in Salem to a conference called "God: For People Who Hate Church". This is one of the most unusual Christian Conferences that I have ever been to. The purpose of this event is to get us Christians more understanding of those who don't believe in Jesus Christ. Pastor Phil Wyman who is an amazing man got a discussion panel of Atheists and another of Neo-Pagans (polytheist, nature worshipers, etc). We practice the art of listening by asking them questions about what they believe, where they came from, why are they the way they are. One witch after being a witch for a while actually worked for a Christian Book Distrubutor Co. for six years. Two of the Athiest found it hard to believe that Jesus was raised from the dead. The Druid (pagan beliefs from Celtic times) use to be a practicing Jew. The other witch didnt know which witch was a witch, not really just had to say that.Two of the Neo-pagans were turned off by Chirstian's attempts of converting them. Overall it was a very hard for me knowingthey have turned away from Daddy's heart. Hopefully this unusual practice of listening will soften and change there hearts back to Papa.

Three greatly distinct Christian speakers came, Tony Jones, Jim Henderson, and Jay Bakker. Tony Jones was very brains oriented, Jim Henderson was very outside the box in his ways and Jay Bakker was very impactful. Having Tatoos from head to toe he walks in grace and forgiveness after living a history of condemnation and unforgivenss. He is a great example and hope to those who've fallen away from church and God.

Anton changing the atmosphere of Salem.

Jay Bakker spoke at this cool Baptist church.(the first American missionary was sent out of this church)

I dont know how this guy got here.
