"They Didn't Stand a Chance..."

On our trip to California & throughout our ten days there, we got to know our primary bus driver Keith really well. After we stopped at a gas station in Arizona & all the kids got back on the bus with testimonies, Keith said that those people didn’t stand a chance. They didn't know what hit them when a busload of 55 firey evangelists swarmed a truckstop. Keith had been in the ministry for many years & was so encouraged by watching the students. I was also so proud of them as I walked through the truckstop & saw groups of students praying for people in every corner of the whole place. Some unsuspecting bystanders rededicated their lives to Christ, others were healed, others were engaged with the Gospel message, & believers were encouraged & strengthened in their walk with God.

It was like that everywhere we went. Some bus drivers took us to a casino for breakfast. Although we did not want to go there, the enemy’s plan backfired on him as students were praying for healing & people were testing out their knees & hips that were being healed. The gospel was preached & even the lady cleaning the bathrooms commented on how well-behaved & polite these 250 students were. In college campuses, restaurants, gas stations, casinos, streets, and coffee shops from Kansas City to Southern California—and all over, the gospel was preached & demonstrated through power, love, & humble acts of service. In San Diego, every time our team preached in a spot, we would clean up trash in that area. One person was so moved by this simple act that he asked how he could be saved.
