Venice Beach

For those who have been following our ministry since it began in 2002 at Venice Beach, Abraham, the king of the boardwalk, is a familar face. His wife, Diane, is sick, and Abraham is requesting prayer. She has been hospitalized. He sent word to me to be praying for Diane, and I promised to pray for her. I used to sit beside this "wild" couple at my booth, and I have sung Gospel music with them and their band countless weekends on the boardwalk. "Abraham the Moslem" was also rumored to be practicing black magick [i.e., satanism.]. Still, I became friends with Abraham and Diane, and they are more than just strange creatures to me. I often found myself wondering who they could have been if they had not ended up at Venice Beach...Yet, realizing, God let me meet them there to tell them about Jesus.
