Aaron, Dean, Jorge, Debbie, Sharon, Mark, Tony and myself went to Noho. It was pretty dead at Noho so some of us decided to go to Hollywood Blvd. where it was lively and active with drummers, Hare Krishna's and break dancers. Tony preached once using an amp and box. Then later he held his wooden cross while I preached using NO amplification, NO box and moving as to not give the police an occasion to cite me for "loitering"... well that didn't last long. We were approached by about a dozen officers and shut down. Being told by the Sergeant that Tony couldn't have that cross and I couldn't open air preach! We complied with their order (thankfully didn't get a ticket) and went back to Noho where I preached once more. Tony was able to give a bible to a young lady named Jocelyn. Please pray for her.
God is sovereign, please pray for wisdom as we try to figure out what to do about our ministry in Hollywood as the police there have essentially stopped free speech.
You can read a more in-depth follow-up at Tony's BLOG.
And when North Hollywood and Burbank take the same stand, will we?
