Vegas 2

Today was great. So freaking great. We woke up and had a guys breakfast. That was really neat. Here's the thing about Vegas; it's lust hell. Seriously, girls everywhere, and they aren't wearing very much. So since today was our first day walking to strip, the guys started the morning talking about purity and how to maintain it here.

After that, Wes, Theo, Ethan, Steven and I set off for Caliente Youth Center where Juvenile's from Las Vegas go. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was about two and a half hours away in the middle of no where. We pull in, and start setting up sound equipment for the rapper for the worship service. He rode with us. His name is Twzo (twih-zoh), and started to pray over every seat in the place. Once the kids arrived, we started to greet them. These kids were here for some type of felony, but they were the most well behaved young men I've ever met. Seriously. They, of course, loved Twzo. Then a couple went up to lead worship and then Evan, Vanessa Vann's boo went up to preach the word, and let me tell you. He BROUGHT IT. He spoke about marriage, and he was so transparent and vulnerable with the people there. So neat. Then my favorite part. We got to break off into groups, and pray for people specifically. Here is a picture of the prayer card I wrote on.


In case you didn't see, three of them have babies on the way, and all three of them want to be good fathers when they get out, and to get a job and their lives back in shape. How inspiring.
After this we went to a guy named Joseph's house so that he could talk to us a little bit about human trafficking and then we went on a prayer walk along the strip. I had the privalegge of walking with KT and Katie. I love praying, but I honestly can't tell you what my reactions are because I haven't fully processed them yet. 
Here is the group from Caliente. So great. Seriously. My life will never be the same after this experience. God is SO good.

Marc, there is no amount of words to describe what I want to say, It is such a moving experience how you and team take time out of your break, jump on a plane and go to sin city, the HEAT is amazing I bet, sharing the word is even greater. Several years ago we met, I know how you can impact lives, seeing the pictures that Dennis took and the folks on the receiving end, it is not about impressing but encourgement and hope. Simply amazing, and knowing that you all are going to come home and hibernate as this is not easy work by any means!!!!
