Christian music plays from a band affiliated with Venice Foursquare Church as our team works with them to have conversations with people passing by...
We were finally able to get back out to Venice Beach, thank God, for the Memorial Day weekend! We worked with Venice Foursquare Church and Addicts for Christ. I just spoke with Steve Weller, the pastor, by phone, and he said that his team loved working with the LTW team, and we are invited to work with them any time. This is an answer to prayer, because we cannot get a spot on the boardwalk without them. They show up for the "lottery" drawing (which is every Tuesday around noon, when our team leaders are at work), and the team from Venice Foursquare Church secures several spots on the boardwalk for the following weekend. Our LTW team of Mike, Eileen, Dan, and others showed up to pass out tracts, have conversations with people about Jesus, and give them answers according to the Bible. We praise God that we can set up again on the boardwalk this summer, thanks to this new partnership with the "Addicts for Christ" team and Venice Foursquare Church. We hope to have enough room next time to set up our table of apologetics, to give people in-depth answers to their objections to the Bible, invite them to sit down with us, and take the time to open up the Bible and discuss what the Bible teaches about Jesus. Passing out tracts as people walk by cannot compare to such lengthy discussions with the offer of free books and Bibles from our table, too, so we hope to have the table set up again this summer as soon as possible. Still, we thank God for our Christian brothers and sisters at Venice Foursquare inviting us to work with them and aiding us in the ongoing challenge of getting a spot for our table on the boardwalk at Venice Beach this summer.
