Encinitas

To all those who are loved by God and called to be saints:

    Saturday night, God purposed in the heart of some close friends and brothers in Christ, Cody Cantabrana and John Hamon, to go to Encinitas in order to interview people in regards to their Faith and theology (or lack there of).
     With this goal in mind the two gathered the group of us who wanted to help in the living room of the Hamon residence. With boldness and excitement unique to those gifted with performing, John and Cody enthralled us with a plan to minister to Encinitas in a unique way, one in which we would be able to preach the good news differently to each individual we encountered. The goal was to send teams of two or three about the center of Encinitas to interview people in regards to their belief in God, Hell, Christ, and Eternity in hopes of finding a cross section of Encinitas's beliefs and really making connections to these individuals.
           The people we encountered had a diverse sets of opinions in regards to theology/philosophy. Weather their opinion fell under the banner of Creationism or Atheism, about one third of them had thought about the issues behind ontology. The confusion displayed was sad, but brought to my attention the lack of thought put into the nature of their own existence.
     Knowing this, it seems that one of the best ways to spark the want for Christ in North County is to simply ask questions! I know it probably seems simple, and perhaps obvious, but ask yourself how many times you have even asked a close friend what they believe about the nature of reality. I had such a good time talking to people and attempting to lead their thoughts toward the truth.  It's also a great way to connect to those who do know what they believe, and show them that you care! It was a great to share Christ in this manner. :)

     In regards to the Visa, I received conformation that UPS is collecting my completed visa and Passport today and should have it to me tomorrow. When I receive it I plan on purchasing a ticket to London through Airfare.com. So what that all means is I am leaving either tomorrow or the next day for sure. It's such a relief to be receiving the material to enter England. Thank you all for the prayer and support. :)



 23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth!
   Tell of his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
   his marvelous works among all the peoples!
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
   and he is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
   but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
   strength and joy are in his place.                                        1 Chronicles 16:23-27
