Night # 2

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. Internet does not always work around here.

Our 2nd night here as even more exciting than the first. We spent the entire night doing Van rides and street teams though we did call it a night a little early because we had pancake duty the next morning at 9am. In essence this means we got back to our rooms by 2 am instead of 3 am.

This night we had on our van Johnathan, Sarah, Denise and Johnathan (from SIU-E). We probably transported about 30 people that night. Most of the rides we had the opportunity share some truth about Jesus and in at least one ride we were able to specifically share the Gospel. This night was in some ways more intense for me as the driver since the parties were bigger and we had more runs into the party areas. This meant more people crossing the road without looking and more people simply falling into the road since they were either drunk or high.

We sent Vicki and Whitney out with some street teams. I know they were able to have some wonderful conversations with some guys. They also became witness to an interesting fighting that involved a mooning and high heels as a deadly weapon. You can ask them about this one later. It is pretty interesting little story.

I know our transportation volume increased by about 150-200 people which means that in two nights we have transported about 1300-1400 people. The amazing part is that if we had more people and and more vans then we could be transporting even more. There is such a need here and it is my hope and prayer that more and more college groups will catch the vision of Beach Reach send students and vans next year.

Thank You for all of your prayers for us on the other Beach Reachers. This trip has been amazing so far.
