Let It Rain!

I wasn't sure what was going to happen last night since it was raining like crazy at 7:00. We actually had a great turn out- 7 people! After we prayed we felt like we needed to just go for it. So we loaded up and went downtown. There was also a group that went and picked-up some pizza to hand out. It seemed to clear up immediately. We did have a few sprinkles right at the end by pretty much zero rain! Hopeful some of the team will post other details. I remember feeling so encouraged at the end of the night. There were so many people that stopped by for the music or pizza. What is even cooler is a lot of people stayed! One guy named Patrick stayed the entire time we were there talking to us. Reflecting on the whole night, the Scripture that refers to Jesus as a friend of sinners came to mind and that His Kindness leads us to repentance. Instead of the stereotypical "Turn or Burn" vibe that Christians are labeled for downtown these people actually enjoyed hang-out with us. Let us too be a friend of sinners, showing His kindness so that they can turn to the lover of their souls, Jesus Christ.
