So, the story starts a couple of weeks ago when we were in Gold Beach, OR. We get a call from a pastor in a town in N. CA called Crescent City. He says his community is ready for a move of God, ready for a massive Kingdom invasion. Would we come? Sure! So two weeks later we find ourselves driving into town, parking at this pastor’s church and setting up the tent in the back yard. Now, setting up on church property is something we usually don’t do as it tends to alienate other churches for some reason… But not this time. We’re right in the middle of a poverty stricken, drug filled neighborhood- just the place for something good to happen!

We've been here for three nights so far. We're billing most of our outreaches now as concerts, mostly because when you call it tent meetings or "revival" no one shows up anymore; but for a concert we get all kinds of people who would never go to a religious deal! Our friend John from Gold Beach came down tonight to play congas. Man, did we have some fun! My little sister Shiloh (plays drums) created this groove that was incredibly complex and totally anointed. We played it for 15 minutes. She ended up singing prophetically over the people, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Some friends who have a feeding ministry are feeding struggling families and individuals in the church gym next door before the meetings, so many of them are attending and getting a ginormous dose of Jesus.

HIGHLIGHTS:

A lady who lives across the street said that as soon as she saw our rigs pull onsite the atmosphere in the neighborhood changed.

A guy came up to the front tonight after the meeting with tears streaming down his face and said he was stuck to his seat and couldn't get outside to smoke his pot. He said he'd had it with this lifestyle and what did he need to do to get to know that Guy we sing about in our songs? He was both saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit in about 2 minutes!

I look out while doing worship to see many weeping.

About 10 - 20 children of the neighborhood show up every night. Many of their parents are addicts and have horrible family lives. We are just loving them and trying to make them feel special. My heart hurts so much for them...

Anyway, more on what's happening later... gotta go to bed.
