Outdoor Sunday Service

Some of us went to Burger King Saturday night for dinner during Onething LA. And we saw this African American gentleman walking abnormally with a cane. Right then I went up to him, and Jennifer came along. We got to pray for this man who's had so much stuff in his life. He didn't share much, but he told us that he got hit by a truck because he was actually crossing the freeway! However God saved him from death, and he has become more faithful in trusting Him. After we prayed for him, Eric, who came near while we were prayin, started to share words of encouragement and revelation to this man. We all felt that something got stirred up inside of him. God was right there moving hearts and shifting the atmosphere!

I was talking with Eric and my friend Matthias whom I met at Love Tent; he's at an internship here in Hollywood area for film. He really wants to bring God's presence into film industry and create films to bring glory to God and crush Hollywood and make it Holywood. I love that man. He's just totally amazing!

Here's the crazy Sunday "service":
Alright. Today I went to Santa Anita Park with Edwin, Kevin (Chris' twin bro), Tiffa, Priscella, and Amy. We split up in 3 groups going different directions. As Amy and I started to walk around, there was a baseball game going on. I remembered that I wrote down "red hat (baseball cap)" before we depart for city invasion. And guess what? One of the team's color is red and white, and EVERY player was wearing a red baseball cap! I was excited yet confused. Who's the one then? Anyhow I went up to one of them and asked whether someone on their team was injured. He said no. As we were passing by the cage, I saw this guy wrapping bandage around his right pinky. He's a catcher and two weeks ago he dislocated his right picky (but that has nothing to do with being a catcher, fyi because he got it from a party). After I shared with him the testimony I had with Chad, he was amazed and willing to receive a prayer. I prayed for him speedily because the game was about to start.

We went on and saw an old grandma on wheelchair with a lady pushing her. They are originally from the Philippines, and they are Catholics. Grandma can walk a bit, but not really long distance because she has a pacemaker; moreover she has arthritis on both of her knees, and her right knee was hurting. So we prayed for her, and then after the prayer, she was like..."there's no pain!" ....and she started to move her leg and bend and stretch and bend and stretch.... with no pain at all! I was like....WWHAT!!! So I asked her to try and walk a little bit, and she did, with me holding her. It was just so encouraging because grandma really wanted to walk, however she really cannot because of her pacemaker. However the Lord took the pain away from her knee so that she can actually walk a little bit!

Then we got to pray for Lisa's brother Eddie who has a mild stroke and both of his kidneys have failed. So we got to pray for him, and we really believe that God's moving within him even though he could hardly understand any English. And then Lisa told us that her ankle's been hurting for the past week and would like us to pray for her! So we prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed (yes, 4 times we prayed), the pain was totally gone and she could move her feet comfortably and painlessly!

So I went back to the baseball field and got to actually put my hand on the injured right pinky of that catcher (did I mention his name's George?). I prayed for him and I gave him my contact info. He lives in San Gabriel, and I hope that he wil find a church that would become his home where he can start knowing Jesus in an intimate way.

This is what I call a local church!
Tell me about Sunday Service!
I want to be like a tree!!!!!
I believe by the end of this year we will see deaf people hear and blind people see again!
God is Good!
