WILD WITNESSING ON SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

The journey to South Padre Island was a smooth one and we arrived at our campground just after sunset. We teamed up with friends and family from Austin and San Antonio which gave the night an extra boost. David, Michelle and Johnny went off to see if any local restaurants wanted to donate dinner for all 22 of us and alas, they came back with 22 hamburgers, donated by a kind restaurant manager. We added some hot dogs, potato salad and bananas to the mix and our dinner turned into a feast.

It was cool and rainy outside, so we bundled up in the bus and pulled out a few guitars. Someone shouted: “Let the music roll” – and it did. It turned into an incredible night of music and personal witnessing as 25 teenagers and college students flocked into the bus from the campground. Before long the bus was filled from one end to the other. Eventually we broke into small groups

Highlights from tonight: David Fisher met Stephen who said he was sad that the churches condemned people. He was very receptive and is definitely a potential disciple.

Maria & Sara were in the back corner of the bus, talking with another guy – Josh, about giving his life to Jesus. Josh said that he didn’t like the churches because they had too much religion and not enough God. He was very interested in our mission work, getting involved. He was also very interested in Bible prophecy. He said he wanted to know more about our work and Family and wants to come again tomorrow.

Our witnessing offensive has begun and we can just feel it in the Spirit. Everywhere we go people are attracted to jump on the bus. They want to talk about God and listen to the music. The people here seem to be looking for “higher ground”. Before the night was over we put on of our DVD versions of our Prophet Bus journey up to watch and we prayed with 12 people to receive Jesus into their lives – many of them wanting to come back tomorrow. Enjoy the pictures and video clips from our first night in South Padre Island.
