Hey,guys how's it going :)
Well I gotta say that I was supposed to post the blog of last weeks Outreach, but I forgot. Well don't worry I had to, to make up 4 last weeks , outreach. Lol

Any ways the outreach last night was a blessing. Well let me start by saying that we started off early, this time instead of 2am Saturday morning, we started @ 10pm last night. So now as I was talking with Laurie or txting this past week, we thought it was best that we alternate with the weeks one week @ 10pm another week @ 2am. The reason why is because some who come out who live quite a distance may get a chance to come on out, also it takes its toll on Laurie at times.

And that it takes her a while to recover. Also when we go out early we have a time of fellowship for a couple of hours before its time to go out. And we have time to make the giftbags , play with the boyz (Pablo & Ziggy) If you don't know about Pablo & Ziggy already then you been living under a rock or living in an Amish community....Lol I'm only kidding :P I love eating Quaker Oatmeal hahaha... Sorry I put that their. But I'm more unP.C...And that's what it is in outreach or in ministry Serving Jesus as He would do it as we read in the Gospels. But Let's not forget we need to be lead by the Holy Spirit in all we do. "THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING"

But I'll start off,by sharing...

Like about 6pm I got into Hollywood found parking across the way off of Sunset Blvd. Got to Laurie & Daryl's we all talked & talked about this Outreach. And what we are going to do for outreaches now. They informed me about some stuff which is pretty that I won't explain here.
So like around 6:30pm we took off the 3 of us to have dinner @ Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria just off of Hollywood Blvd. & Maripossa. Jen Unander had dinner with us as well & I must say "What a pizza they had a pizza called the Big Mama which is one slice like 3 whole slices Mmmm mmmm good" :). Anyways Laurie hurt Daryl by walking into his big boil (it was an accident) he had on his wrist. Which looked like it was in flames . (Well he literally does have flames tatted around his left wrist) so the boil made it pop. Ok enough about Pizza Iet me start getting down to it, we got back started making the giftbags, with Jen U while Pablo was supervising :) .

Anyways we got down to the car & Jen C was coming out so she was on her way. So we listened to Pastor Dominic from the Dream Center on a cd sermon in the car while waiting for Jen C. One thing that. I like that Laurie told us, the favorite thing he would say about Christians not doing nothing but sitting in church is he say, "GET OFF OF YOUR BLESSED ASSURANCE And DO SOMETHING"
Anyways Jen got there so it was around a qtr til 10,so we headed on out to our RE-FUELING station 7eleven w/Ronnie the Doorman, whom we haven't seen in about a month. ( A funny thing in one of the outreach blogs of the past which was sooo funny is Melisa mentioned "Why? Does 7eleven need a doorman? Its 7eleven") Lol :D, anyways we got there & we got our usual coffee & we got back to the car for a time of prayer, before we take off. To Food for Less if we had to go to the restroom before we hit the frwy. So we did that & Jen C was in the back seat w/me while Jen U was driving & Laurie was riding shot gun & Jen C was jonesing for some El Pollo Loco action, :D hahaha so we went across the street to the drive thru & we got some grub Laurie was hungry, actually we were all hungry, so there was a Taquito , the Churros , & Tacos El Carbon action going down.

And yes as a Jesus follower we have a time of eating & fellowshipping like Jesus did during ministry. Hey its in the Bible read the Gospels Lol. Except for the modern vernacular (BIG WORD) that I used on how we eat & fellowship.

Ok so we got the frwy and we hit the track like usual but we went further than usual. About 3mi. Down were we usually get off of. So Laurie & I got out & we met some girls, out I think we met about 4 girls sure with them, & we gave them some gift bags,then we got back to the car & Laurie had to go to the restroom so we checked out to see if they had a restroom open @ Popeyes Chicken, so Laurie got out talked to a couple of guys to see were there is a place with a restroom, one guy pointed out to Churches chicken across the street. He told her you can go behind the bin out back & pop a squat, she told em, I done it many times I wouldn't mind doing it again. So we drove across the street & there was a guy outback near the High Voltage box, were like oh great he is going pee, Laurie said well he's going to move over. So we parked & a lady came up to Jen U & asked for some money, but went away so at this time. Laurie went out back & the guy looked like he was smoking crack. Well I don't know that for sure cuz I was in the backseat waiting for Laurie. So she got back drove off to a couple of gas stations & there was a Shell that was open & Laurie thanked the station attendant, & as she was walking back a guy.

Said what's up the feeling was mutual, & she came back saying this guy looked familiar. So we drove off down the track & we saw a couple of girls, so Jen C went with Laurie to talk with a girl or 2 then they came back to the car & we drove down a ways so we talked to a few more girls actually we had to walk across the street (Like Usual) & we met up with a couple more girls, & we mentioned that if they decide to get out & need a place to go, there is a place to go Laurie shares that in the gift bag is her contact to get a hold of her.

And some of these girls look like they want to but they don't know how to. I know similar ministries do the same thing, but they have statisitics. I respect it, but I'm not about knowing statistics, I'm about learning sharing Jesus with people & doing what the Lord calls me to do. And its about the people, its about being a light to people. "This Little Light of Mine, I'm going to Let it Shine". Well as we go on we had a looong walk til we saw the next girl. Its been pretty scattered. We see a lot more dudes than girls on the track, & a lot more corner churches with the Apostle so & so & a picture of him, & the titles of the" Full Gospel Baptist of the Apostolic Doctrine of the Holy Redeemer of the First Missionary Community Church" & on the next street over.

Its sad to see, I pray for the church as well. But We are called to do the work of the ministry. Well so we got back at the car, drove down a little & we saw a girl near the bus bench but this female was a Shemale. Laurie met before. And nearby. In the parking lot there was a guy in a white van getting out trying to lay some game on her. This was some white Cholo guy. Laurie was sharing with her & I think she got a gift bag as well, but this guy was trying to make some play with this girl. Well let's just say if he doesn't know that she is a girl with the same equipment like him. He will find out the hard way. If she goes with this guy. Well anyways we got back in the car as usual to. Drive down the track to see a few more girls. So we drove down a ways near were we usually come down. So Laurie & I got out again, to see a couple more girls we saw this 1 girl that stood out her name was L***M*** she wore a torquise. Sweatshirt. And Laurie got her before she crossed the street & we talked with her,we asked her how old she was cuz she looked too young. She said she was 18yrs.old & she had that glassy eye looked like she wanted to cry. But we knew why she was out there to do, & its sad to see an underaged girl in the Game.

Laurie asked me how old she was I mentioned she looks more like she's 14 than 18. So we crossed the street & met a couple of girls, One girl when we approached her stopped us In our tracks by saying "I got a bag from you before, & then she started saying "I believe in God , I Believe in God. More like I don't want to hear it. It shows me how much they don't care, But Jesus care. And 1 girl says no I don't want a bag, then all of a sudden these girls started Hi-Tailing it down the street on foot cuz the popo was nearby. So we walked down the street And Jen & Jen took off, Laurie & I were like "were they going"? We thought they were going to Uturn but we crossed the street & we had a looong walk back to the car. It wasn't that packed out like last week..But every week isn't all the same. And it was time to go back home. Laurie's head was throbbing.

So pray for Laurie guys, & we also gave a giftbag to a woman whom was walking with her male friend. Well totally this was an interesting night, it was a blessed night that was action packed with a lot of U-Turning, Eating & fellowshipping & ministering. So in total we saw about 10 girls out & yes I will say 10 I'm including the shemale in that 10.

Well I want to leave you with this verse :

Walking in the Light

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Lord Bless U guys

This Mornings Outreach titled "No Fear In Love"

 

 

Hello everyone,I just wanted to share about  the outreach we did a few hours ago

 

Last week we planned that this coming outreach. We would be coming out later than usual, say like around 2:30 or 3am Saturday morning. And I gotta say that we really went out "AFTER HOURS" get it our ministry is called "After Hours Ministry" Lol. Well I had to go to sleep around 6pm Fridaynight to get up around 1am, so I did that, that way I can be ready leave the House around 1:25am. get the 5 fwy from Norwalk (thats were I live) come down sometime & say Hi :)...So I got the 5 fwy to get the Hollywood 101 frwy. I made good time 12 minutes to spare when I hit down on Sunset blvd. in Hollywood. The problem was finding parking, so I drove around about 5 minutes & I gave it to Jesus, to find parking ,cuz we going to leave @ 2am hit 7eleven get our coffee pray in the car before hitting the frwy again to go were we usually go to minister. Luckily, I found a space just just across the street from were Laurie lived in one of the neighborhoods right near a Gas station. I HAD TO SAY THANK YOU JESUS, I FOUND A SPACE.

 

           Anyways as I got to Julia's car ,her & Laurie were waiting for me, good thing they didn't leave me. lol "By The Way Julia Got ROCKSTAR PARKING AGAIN !!!!! DANG IT !!!!! I ONLY GOT INDIE ROCKER PARKING :(  Lol

 

Ok let me bring it back sorry guys,,,, So we had to get gas & Julia got gas @ the Mobil station were I parked my car close by (Indie Rock Parking) then we took off down the street to get our coffee @the 7eleven "Oh thank heaven for 7eleven" but when we got there our favorite doorman wasn't there :( Sorry guys no Ronnie the Doorman this time. Anyways we got to the car & we started praying for the needs & personal request as well as the girls we are going out to see ,as well as the pimps. And When Laurie was finishing up praying. Julia noticed 2 guys peeing in the parking lot...Ok Too much Info ,,but I gotta keep real. After Lauie got done we we stop at our usual PITSTOP before hitting the frwy. So after that we got on the frwy to go to the track. So when we got there it was around 3:10am And there was barely any girls on the street, like there was a week before around this time, were there was a big "JOHN JAM". So drove past we usually drive & we saw a number of girls but this time. The girls were out there, but they were scattered.

 

    But the 1st 3 or 4 we got to give them a gift bag ,sometimes we gave 2 to a girl. But we really got to meet a couple of girls  D**** & C***** whom let us pray for them. I have to say that it was mixed this time around because some of them or most of them seen us out there before.  D*** said she still goes to church & C**** told us she knows Jesus but she has a little baby @ home. And know body in her family knows what she does, the girls we talked to, said they didn't have a pimp. So after we talked to these girls we walked down a lil further & we walked a long way from were we parked the car. We did meet a girl who saw us from before, she said I'll be right with you a moment. But we knew she got picked up by a John. So we had to walk back to the car & as we walked back we came across 2 new girls that looked like they got dropped off & they looked young as well probably 16 or 17yrs old. We gave 1 a gift bag. But they looked like they were all business.

 

     So we were getting back to the car & it seemed that as we were coming back to the car we got to see a little more girls. And we saw this 1 girl who was like a model. very beautiful & 1 girl we saw looked at us & came around us & say "I know her " meaning she met Laurie before. And Julia & I asked if she would like a gift bag, so we gave her 1. So a red car pulled up said something to the girl Laurie was talking to.. We saw the guy (think it was the girls pimp) & Laurie get 2 pimp tracs from the bag & gave it to them. If Im not mistaken it was a Pimp trac & our brochure of what we do. It's always interesting how from a distance the pimps stare us down but when we get up close to them knowing we are not afraid but friendly to them they are the nicest people. And as I have learned a lot these past few months with Laurie & Daryl, Julia, Jen Cecil & Jen Unander. Who have been doing this a little bit longer than I have know that on the street a lot is a spiritual battle for the soul. Behind the scenes some stuff seems demonic. In what some of the girls share & that they want out. But there is always someone or something holding them back... GETTING BACK TO THE STORY

 

           So as we met a few girls & gave out a few more gift bags 1 girl that stuck out to me C**** she looked like a ROCK chick with peircings & these long nails with the coolest designs on them & a tat of her husbands or boyfriends name on her chest, she had the bling on & her nails had this crazy design I thought was rocking were tere was like this silver jewels in the middle of the design. She was on her cell initially as we approached her but as we got to know her in brief. Laurie said her contact was in the bag. And so Laurie has C**** contact as well. she shared with us that, she has be in doing this  since she was 15yrs old, now she is 19yrs old. And many girls like her. What did noticed that I haven't before are the "JOHN" who would pick up a girl for their time. As we were talking with C**** I noticed a White guy with a hat on in an Acura Integra. with glasses on, he saw us as he was cornering & drove off. It's sad to see these guys who look older like some of these gilrs dads worst yet, they probably have daughters around the same age, married with the wife at home. It's sad man I mean, GOSH what does it take.

 

 There was this 1 corner that we came up on (After coming back from the Shell station were they usually have a "Roach Coach" serving up Carne Asada), were there was quite a few girls around three 1 of them seen us from before. But as we approached the 2 girls were dancing, having a good time. And 2 more came up from behind us & we gave them gift bags.. We have given qutie a few giftbags this morning like around 20 gift bags, & there were around 25 to 30 girls out this time. We came across I think around 12 -16 girls & we lost count. We also don't want to forget the girls who were on the otherside of the street. So we got out or crossed the street a few times to see the girls. One of the girls who was happy to see us Laurie got out & gave her a gift bag & Julia & I were in the car. I think we can call this 1 a "Drive By" lol cuz the car was still running & Laurie got back in the car & the girl waved bye to us.

 

So before we called it a night or (morning), it was around a quarter til 5am. We tried 1 corner across the street, met 1 girl know us from before we gave her a gift back & she had to go, & we didn't want to keep her cuz she was being watched by the Popo because of her attire. But as we drove up we saw some a few more girls & the 1's we saw minutes ago. This time around with the gift bags we had inside & think it was those candy rings ( OK EVERYONE WEEEE ) LoL, its interesting the females out on the street still have that kid inside them because of the candy. Or just what the gift bags have like lip gloss, or other stuff. But as we walk to were there is action & talk with the girls they always ask us "ARE YOU THOSE CHURCH PEOPLE" ITS LIKE WERE FROM A CHURCH,,, Andbecause of the gift bags Laurie asked what type of things they like or candy, one girl I said we can always use condoms. But its like nah we aint putting that in there. Despite how much sleep we got, to be out here to minister, it was worth it, in the name Jesus. As we hit the frwy to get back it was already after 5am like around 5:10am, I didn't get back home til 5:35am... What a morning or night but all in all it was AFTER HOURS MINISTRY.......

 

 

 

LASTLY IN MINISTRY LIKE THIS TO PIMPS & PROSTITUTES YOU GOTTA HAVE THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST IN YOU, AS IT WAS ONLY THE 3 OF US OUT ON THE TRACK THIS TIME AROUND, WE PREPARE OUR HEARTS FOR MINISTRY. SO I SAY THIS WHETHER YOUR IN MINISTRY PASTORS, PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH, IT'S ABOUT THE LOVE MAN IT'S ALLABOUT THE LOVE.

 

Thanks for your prayers always for those who support what we do, I thank you Laurie Ishii, Julia Speck, Jennifer Cecil, Jen Unander, Darly Bargy, & Everett Wayne Coonfield.....

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20

This whole week I battled whether or not to go on outreach, I haven't felt this tired in a long time and for me being tired inevitably means migraines and I certainly like to avoid them at all costs. The last few times we have been out it has been abundantly clear that we need to go out later just as we used to because there are so many more girls out at that time. Admittedly it was nice going out at 9 and getting home by midnight or 1am, certainly made things more comfortable. The Lord asked me a few things: did I believe that it was His strength that allowed me to do all things? Was I wiliing to die to myself that others might live? yes, yes, yes Lord.... and so here our story begins

The rest of the team had a night of fellowship together before I arrive I heard rumors of Denny's and Yogurtland...seems a lot of food was involved. I know that they had a blessed time of prayer at home with Melissa and Darryl before they left and met up with me. Who is this team you ask? Most of the regulars; Laurie, Jen U., Johnny and then a newcomer Everette.

At midnight the 5 of us set out... throughout the night we met so many people I will definitely not get the order correct so I will just tell their stories as I remember them.

We saw a group of men standing around a car with one woman on the outside whome we had met before D***** and one woman on the inside L***. We were able to give them gift bags and bags for their kids and they were really excited about those because they said they couldn't really afford to give them anything so it was a blessing. We gave the men pimp tracks but then we realized they probably weren't pimps, but it's ok because I'm sure they understand the language to some extent and Lord willing He will use it.

J****** was smoking something other than a cigarette and though a bit evasive at first she did open up to us and we prayed for her on the oppositie corner.

J****** was sweet but like most of the girls we met tonight, nervous and evasive, but she was open to us which is a blessing. Seemed like all the girls were really being watched tonight, more than usual from my experience.

T****** was on her way to meet her pimp and was nervous but still let us pray with her which was such a blessing, her heart was soft and we exchanged numbers. When she left us she met her pimp who sent her back in our direction, once we spotted him we decided to go talk to him.

On the way we met S****, she was a heartbreaking sight; wearing next to nothing and definitely on something, she was incredibly thin. She said we could pray for her but not right there but then she gave us some direction as to where to find more girls, this later turned out to be very fruitful.

Then we finally caught up with the pimp who was watching us the whole time, he was very nice, they usually are, but while he took the track from us he sort of just rushed right by.
Next we talked to one of his other girls C*******, who was so beautiful! She seemed open to talking to us, but he called her within 30 seconds and told her to move along or something like that so we didn't get too far.

At this point we headed to the gas station where the famous, at least as far as Laurie is concerned, carne asade is and she had a little snack and made friends with once again the pimp from before J**** and some of the guys who were working with him, one named D********.

Next we took S****'s advice and headed down a little further than usual on the track and met C*****, this for me was possibly the whole reason we were out there last night. She was broken and hurting and we talked for a long time about what her options would be if she wanted to get out. It was sweet because she was really honest about everything, I love that, no pretenses. Pray that she will hate her sin and desire freedom and that she will run towards it. Pray that we will be able to stay in contact with her or that she will find another way to get out, a permanent way. We prayed with her for awhile and tried to offer her comfort... only Jesus will do, just Jesus.

We decided to drive the track once more before heading home and good thing, there was a John Jam on every corner at the other end. We were able to hand out several gift bags and talk to some girls, I'm especially remembering F*** who was excited that we loved Jesus and C***** who was with her. They asked us "aren't you scared to be out here?" Laurie answered, "no, we have Jesus." amen.
We also ran into A***** who we had met several weeks before who I just called beautiful because well, she is. Laurie and the guys got to share with her, praise Jesus. Needless to say this scene at 3am confirmed to us that we do in fact need to be out later than we have been.

The Lord blessed us richly as He always does, He sustained us and today His mercies are new. Thank you so much Jesus, we love You.

For His glory
