San Diego, CA + 1.19.03
The highlight for me of the trip was taking the cross to the Post Super Bowl Street Party in downtown San Diego. My flesh was very weak that night from illness and a long week and my mind told me we shouldnt carry the cross there. But after a bit of prayer the Lord layed it down and asked me why He had brought me here. So I knew that we should. The evening was crazy. From the moment we got there till the moment we left four hours later I dont believe I stopped talking with folks about what we were doing. Nate and Eddie were also kept very busy talking to folks. There was many different reactions. Some thought it was a joke. But when we shared with them why we were there, their faces became a bit serious and a peace came over them. It was wild. We got some heckling as well but thats expected when you carry a nine-foot cross in Mardi Gras type conditions. The Lord blessed us with being able to meet and pray with so many beautiful people along the way. Our mission was clear. To pray for repentance for all in each city we were in, to claim the cities in the name of Jesus, to share the Good News with whoever would listen, and to remind Christians that riding the fence is not acceptable! |
