IT WAS LOVE 360!

Read the following testimonies and stories of God at work!

Crystal and JohnThink about the moment you first fell in love with someone, and how overwhelmed you felt, the words could not describe your experience. That was I Am Love 360. I had the wonderful experience of volunteering in Kid's Tent, dancing around, playing games and watching them smile.

Then I went to the other extreme...street evangelism right in the Tenderloin. I went out with one of the groups from City Impact, SF Rescue Mission and experienced handing out lunches to people in their one room units and also on the street while walking back to the event. What an eye opening experience that was. I had made 30 scarves by hand in the last 3 months and it was just a blessing to me that God would provide me a gift where he could live through me to bless others. I prayed with several of the homeless that received my scarves and just to see their appreciation and the fact that they felt noticed was amazing.

The profile picture is a man named John whom I gave a light green scarf. He was real sweet, prayed with me and then put on his tough face for the pic. We both laughed together when I showed him it. I received several hugs from these great people and even a kiss on the cheek. The Power of God was flowing through me so much that I was approaching people that earlier in the day I was slightly fearful of. Infact the Spirit was so strong in me that people noticed and even said things like "I can see the Spirit all over you". This feeling was just so overwhelming and I thank the Lord that he was able to walk before me and let me see through his eyes during that event. I have the names and faces of most of these poeple that were blessed stuck in my brain forever I am sure.

What was definitely the most overwhelming was that on Sunday morning at service I could not help but cry the whole time. I had their faces just in the front of my brain and God was telling me that I was crying the tears that they were crying at one time. He was letting me experience it, and I felt nothing but humbled that he would use me to accomplish his work. I had to fight a great fight to be at the event because the enemy was trying to hold me back, but God got me there as he promised and I know why, because he had some work to do.

Thank you to everyone that was at the event for making it such a success and standing in the gap for a city that needs out help. Love you all!!! God Bless.

I am counting yesterday a truly “Count it All Joy” day.

God is Good!I know so much more was stirring there in San Francisco than what my physical eyes could see.
I was on stage with Stephen Baldwin many times and was encouraged by the many, many servant’s hearts of those that came out, served and gave God the Glory for the entire day.

I witnessed Stephen Baldwin share the gospel message “hardcore” style by saying such words as “SIN, HELL, JESUS, FAITH, as well as the word LOVE!

If we count success by how many people came, hot dogs or t-shirts that were bought or even how great the sound system sounded then we really aren’t worshipping Him in spirit and in truth.

Vince and Stephen BaldwinI am eagerly awaiting your stories and personal testimonies that took place on that day, so email me as we are talking and planning a possible trip to Hollywood next.

Brothers and Sisters be encouraged for scripture tells us that advancing the Kingdom of Heaven is done by force…which is exactly what took place on Saturday in San Francisco.
God is working!!!

Turning away from the stage I felt the need to look behind me. Across the park I could see two men standing together in the pouring rain. One man was dressed in a dark coat and hat. He had his hand on a younger man’s shoulder in such a way I knew he was praying for him. This same young guy passed by a few minutes earlier but he didn’t notice us as we stood under our umbrella. He seemed under the influence of something more than the music.

Watching the interaction between these men, I was inwardly moved by something I couldn’t define. I began to pray and as I spoke from my heart I could feel hot tears on my cheek. It felt important to engage myself in this moment despite not knowing these men or them even seeing me.

After a minute or two the young guy seemed agitated and pushed himself away from the praying man. By the body language of the one in the dark coat, I could see determination. He did not stop loving and praying for this young man. He kept walking with him a short distance and finally something spurred the young man to turn back and hug the man tightly. His hug was long and genuine. The younger man was seemingly being drawn away but he kept stepping in close to hug the man in the coat as though apologizing. Clearly he was hearing the love being offered and still he struggled to accept it. Finally he waved once more and walked away for good.

My heart was wrenched as I watched the man in the coat look after him for a long moment before he turned back and began making his way towards the stage where we all stood. Trying to focus again on the music, I kept glancing over to check on this man. He was about twenty feet from us and whether from tears or from frustration, I could see him begin to wash his face with the rain water coming down over him.

Hesitating for a mere moment or two I looked at my husband and simply told him I’d be right back. The man in the coat was kneeling in the rain and it was clear he was beginning to pray. I already knew who he was praying for. Kneeling down next to him on the wet cement I merely asked, “What was his name?”

“Roy, his name was Roy” was all he said.

There under the pouring rain I latched onto my friend’s arm in the dark coat and we prayed together for Roy’s soul and his salvation. I never asked the name of my friend in the coat and hat. Him I recognized as my brother.

A few days before the event the Lord directed me to text Bill's nephew that lives in SF. We havent' seen or spoken to him in almost 7 years, ( shame on us I know) so I texted him, not even knowing if the number was still good. He responded and then on Sat at 12:45 he texted me to ask if we were still there. He came out to see us!! Mitra was raised in Transendental Mediatation, he and his parents practice it and Mitra is in his late 30's, so his whole life he has been brainwashed in this cult. He spent about twenty minutes with us, asked us what we were doing there, what this was. We replied and he asked " are you strong Christians?" Yes we are. "Oh I believe in God, there has to be someone in charge of all of this".

He kept looking off into the distance, kind of creeped me out, but he was standing amongst a group of Christians so I knew wierd things could be going on for him. He told us how TM is healthy for us and they are teaching it in the schools, ( yes we know that unfortunately).

He left, and texted me a short time later to let us know how good it was to visit with us.

He lived two "stops" away from where Love 360 was held. We are believing that a seed was planted in his heart that day and now we can continue to make excuses to go into the city to visit him some more and hopefully he will continue to communicate with us as well.

Please put us down for Hollywood, we were there in Aug 08 and loved it !! One of our TFH elder's son lives in Pasadena, attends an awesome church and I am sure he could hook you up with some servants as well.

Blessings, Debbie

"CAN YOU FEEL IT!?!??!?!?!"

Can you feel it?It was the feeling of being wet........ but happy!
It was the feeling of being cold....... but happy!
It was the feeling of squishy feet and heavy wet pants and shirts...... but happy!
It was the feeling of seeing not a lot of people coming out......... but happy!
It was the feeling of people constantly watching us ALL to see when the complaining would start and it never did.... but happy!
It was people on a serious mission........ but happy!
It was hoping and praying for sunny skies and sunshine on our faces and when it didnt come we were all not discouraged...... but happy!
It was seeing the leaders of this event not look down or defeated........but happy!

"Did you feel it?" I sure did! God's grace and love and joy were there people! He was SOOOOOOOOOO proud of us all!

This was NOT what we thought it was to be. It was a test! To see if....... like when Abraham was asked to sacrifice his own son........if we were willing to do the same and stand strong and true in the nasty elements we encounted on saturday. Would we complain and be discouraged? Would we bombard God and ask him over and over again.....WHY? Would we get mad and negative and show the people that DID show up something different than what we were suppose to...... LOVE.............

NO WAY! We passed the test!!!! Praise God! We showed everyone LOVE!!!!!!!!

We did NOT forget Joshua 1:9 - " Have not I commanded you.... Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go!"

God WAS there. LOVE 360 was more about us coming together to see if we as christians would actually show love. Love was shown people. We did it in the rain. Soaking wet! And let me tell you something.......... MANY seeds were sown that day! An explosion of spiritual warfare just bombarded San Franciscos Civic Park and that city WILL NOT be the same! It was taken back, 1 small piece at a time. We stood toe to toe with the enemy and not only told him with words but with ACTION that ........

We ALL ARE LOVE 360!

And THAT...... is what we showed to everyone!!! The power of God that we rightfully have thru Jesus Christ! Amen!!!!!!!!

When can we do it all over again!!!!!!!! :) I am ready!!!!!!
