Nevada 2009 Event Photos

On January 24th, our last booking in Las Vegas, we played with several other groups, including a Break-Dance crew, at an event called "Flip the Night". Basically it was a night of celebration as believers and prayer over the city. Probably one of the most impacting things about it all was the huge, and I mean HUGE, windows that lay spread across the front of the room, right behind the stage where all the musicians stood. The view from these windows was almost the entire city of Las Vegas, including the famous "Strip"…the heart of the city. The view was breath taking!

But the crazy part was this, these spectacular lights concealed some of the most well known deceit and pain in all of the USA and Canada. It was 1 John 2:16 ("For all that is in the world––the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life––is not of the Father but is of the world.") in panoramic view. It was almost ironic. But more than anything, heart breaking. How we must break our Lord's heart even more in how we use these  vices to fill in the void only He can fill. Challenges us all the more to continue in the Faith and proclaim Christ's saving Grace.

In January, God gave us the opportunity to minister to the people of Renaissance Baptist Church, Las Vegas, NV through their morning worship service. Jezreel arrived in Las Vegas, NV on Jan. 5th. Parked the bus at  friends, John and Deb Steffy. For the next week or so they spent a lot of time rehearsing in Steffy's garage, where they allowed us to set up. From the 9th to the11th Jezreel spent time with Renaissance Baptist Church, Pastor Riemer, his family and others from their congregation.

Jezreel helped them settle into their new church building by doing a prayer walk over the community, handing out flyers to the neighborhood to make the community aware of the church and welcome them to attend, they teamed up with a team from Renaissance to hand out food and clothing to the homeless, as well as played for their Sunday morning service.
