I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. - John 15:5

Sunday, August 13, 2006
Well Saturday was a lot of fun! Myself and many other volunteers helped run Fam Jam. A big outreach for families in Brantford, ONT. It was a great event that went on without a hitch. Had free food, drinks, free air rides such as the Castle, Obstacle course, bungee and the slide. Which was accompanied by lots of music and even a drama which I was included.

The day was quiet warm, but luckily I had sun tan lotion on so I didn't get burnt. I ran the Air castle which happened to collapse no more then 3 times. And a real big collapse once. Due to kids falling on the net it would make the roof drop.. But during the event the plug on the ride just blew off which led me to rush into the tent to get all the kids out while I held the ride up so no one got hurt. These things weigh a lot about 600lbs and when it goes it can crush a kid. But everyone proceeded to get out safely due to fast thinking of myself and other volunteers running over to fix the plug. But it was all good.. No real danger though :).

Once 3pm hit we shut down all the rides and Bob Sullivan began to speak, sing etc. Then drama team was called up. Which was myself, Luke, Jacob, Lindsey, Jessica and Bob, and Denny, Adam.

I myself was a demon in the play as well was Adam. Jessica was the girl who was to be beaten by myself and Adam as a victim. Bob was Jesus, Jacob, Luke and Lindsey were partyers who drank, did drugs (smoke and needle). The play was called "Chains" and is a great play. To keep it short the play goes like this....

partyers come on stage screaming PARTY!! drink lots and smoke drugs. Then Jessica comes on and says what are you doing and they try and make her do what there doing. Shes reluctant at first but then joins in on the party. As this is happening Denny puts chains on her arms and legs as she is being put into bondage of these things. Denny then throws her on the ground and myself and Adam start to hit her with Plastic bats. After some time (I GET HIT IN THE FACE AND BLEED!!!!!!!) Satan say "ENOUGH!!!" and we fall back in wake. Satan yells I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ALL to the crowd. He then throws Jessica back on the ground and music continues to play. Satan then says DEPRESSION! And Adam runs up threatens her with the bat and drops it on the ground. Then myself which was yelled "FEAR!!!" and i do the same as Adam. Then Satan returns and threatens her with a gun! Then Satan yells DEATH!!!! And puts the gun to her head and gives her the gun.. She contemplates it and then gets up with the chains on and yells at the people who made her do the drugs and yells "WHY WON'T YOU HELP ME!?!?!?!" the partyers (Jacob, Lindsey, Luke) then show that they have chains on there hands as they are ensnared into the bondage of these things as well. They then sit down and Jessica proceeds to yell into the crowd this time "SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE! WHY WON'T YOU HELP ME!!!" she then goes down on her knees and looks at the gun again looking for help and then proceeds to stand. Jesus is then being resurrected off the cross and us demons and Satan fall to the ground in fear. Jessica then yells "JESUS HELP ME!" she then falls into Jesus arms and Jesus proceeds to remove the chains and throw the gun down. Jesus then hugs Jessica and puts his foot down on Satan!

The play was great. Although I got a bat in the face (PLASTIC) and I had fun beating up on Jessica with those bats it was well worth the day of the heat and the collapses.. Because in the end 44 people accepted Christ that day. It was an Honor to be there and to be apart of such a great thing to see 44 people come to Christ. I say AMEN TO THAT! Then we proceeded to give away bikes, TVs and so forth. All in all the day was great :)

God bless

    Josh it sounds like you had a lot of fun. I would have loved to see heaven that day and the party that they had when 44 ppl got saved. Praise God!!! I love it when miracles happen, and surely that day was a miracle in itself and one that should never be forgotten by the volunteers, the ppl who were saved and the witnesses around. Praise be to God forever and ever :D <><
