Well, we had 4 guys that went out Tuesday night to downtown Athens. It went great. We set up outside the Grill and just began worshiping. One on guitar, one on a hand drum and the other two attempting to sing. A lot of people looked strangely at us- you know that look with the tilted head a dog gives you when you whistle or make a noise they are unfamiliar with, just picture that!
One guy named Danny actually stopped and set down beside us. He said that he liked the drum and it made him feel peaceful. Interesting. We let him play some on the drum. So picture this, you have this guy that does not seem to know God at all walking along the street and the next thing you know he has join in worshiping the living God! Pretty crazy. We also had a guy named Rick that plays downtown a lot come over and talk with us. He ended up joining in with his guitar too! Turns out he is the father of one of our youth.
As I reflected on the night I drifted toward thoughts of discouragement thinking, well nothing spectacular happened. But Jesus quickly reminded me that he simply travel along the road and hung out with people, went to weddings, parties just ordinary things. It was here that the Kingdom broke thru and the extraordinary blossomed. He also reminded me that seeds are sown whenever we go out in His name. So here's to staying the course of ordinary- extraordinary outreach. ~Pastor Anthony
