Friday Night Lights?

Every other Friday night during S.O.S 2007 [Summer of Service], Pastor Nathan and I meet some friends from Northgate Community Church in downtown Toledo [Jack, Sue, Ron, Devin, Elijah, Christina, and Tina!!!] and after we have worship and group prayer, together we give away 200+ hot dogs in front of a liquor store owned by a [not so orthodox] Muslim named “Amer.”

Amer is super nice and looks forward to our visits. He prays with us in a big circle on the sidewalk after we’re all done. He believes God will bless him for giving us space to serve the community. He accepted my invitation to attend our “Confessions of a Bridge Builder” event coming up SEPT 22 on the campus of UT and promised to bring some friends.

Last Friday, there were 25+ children listening to music and coloring pictures of Jesus on the sidewalk until midnight!!! All of the local teens and adults from that community were respectful and grateful and some of them were even willing to take this hilarious live action shot.

If you’re an adult or a teen with your parent’s permission, join us for our next FNL on JULY 27. We leave Toledo First @ 7:30 pm and return by 1:00 am!!!
