"A DAY OF SALVATIONS" BY BOB BARKLEY

First thing in the morning during "The River", Paul Schutte encountered a homeless man on the sidewalk and invited him into Deep Passion. The man welcomed an opportunity to come in, sit and relax, and enjoy a free cup of coffee. After conversing with the volunteers, the man asked for prayer for a painful back that had plagued him for 4 years. Paul learned that while the man believed in God, he had not ever accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So Paul led him to Christ; then he said his back no longer hurt!

A little while later, Paul encountered another young man. He was curious enough about Deep Passion to a take a detour from his destination and come in to talk with the volunteer team. After a bit conversation, he asked for prayer for his temper and his anger. He also said he had been seeking God, but was having a hard time finding Him. Paul, subsequently, lead this young man to Jesus with the sinner's prayer, as well!

Later, on Friday evening after Expressions of Worship concluded, Bob was cleaning up when a young man came in from The Camel (the bar/music venue next door). He was also curious about Deep Passion. He admitted to not being a "praying person" but asked for prayer, as he had just that very day lost his best friend and he needed help to deal with it. After praying with Bob, he also became a citizen of Heaven!
