pray n pay
Hey guys,
so, most of you know that last july i went on a missions trip to Colombia. I was there with 7 other teenagers and we went around all over the place preforming a play that brought a lot of people to Christ.
One example that our team leader, Jake Tyler likes to use, is when we preformed in a prison. This was a legit prison. haha barbed wire and broken glass lining the fences.. yeah it was sketchy. and it was only a couple days in to the trip. so, we went in and did two shows. both were in front of a couple hundred hard-hearted criminals. these guys (all male prison) had lived tough lives and had no room in their hearts for anything, especially God. but we did the shows anyway. I remember at the end, our host, and native colombian, was talking to all the prisoners, and then prayed. i remember looking up and seeing every hand in the room go up. at the end, Jake asked our host why they raised their hands, and he said, "I asked them who wanted to change their life around. Who wanted to have Jesus in their heart."

that's why we do the show. in parks, in streets, on cliffs, in tiny villages, in schools, prisons, big city squares, churches. everywhere.
Now, this july, we are going back at it, by bringing the show to Guatamala.
we want to let God work as much there as He did in Colombia. We are all sooooo excited, but, these trips don't just happen.
first, i would like to ask for prayer from all of you. :)
without prayer, this can't happen.
second... these trips cost money.
it's about 1,800 dollars per person.
so, if you, or anyone you know would like to support this trip, let me know and i'll tell you how you can do it :)
thanks a ton, and spread the word :)
