Here are some photos Dan sent me last night before the other members of the team arrived. This shows our table set up on Santa Monica Blvd. last night, alongside the gay bars. I hope to have an update from him today with more photos. He called me before he set up the table to pray with me for God to use him and the team to draw people to Jesus. We have been setting up in West Hollywood since 2005, and we are thankful that we have drawn no media attention and have caused no problems in the community. We used to set up right beside the AIDS testing. Now we are right across the sidewalk from it. (Our signs at the table read "A Heart for Him" and "A Free Gift for You.")
Here are summaries of just a few conversations we had last night. We did not have as many people stopping, perhaps because it was a little chilly out, all the way down into the 50's,
We had an older man mid-60ish stop by with I might assume his younger boyfriend...He had several crosses he wore around his neck. He told us about his very religious family history with a Christian background and various denominations, I simply said at the appropriate time, "It's a relationship we need with the Lord, not religion." He took several items from the table, promising to read them and bring them back to get more. He was very happy to get the material.
Mike told him it wasn't necessary to bring back the materials; we would bring more. Mike also spoke with a couple of Christian ladies who were very impressed with the table ministry.
We'll be back out soon.
