Today we travel downtown to a location called “Hobbit House” hobbit house is a ministry house of First Baptist of Vancouver. They use this wonderful house to teach English as a second language, on outreach to street teens, a variety of recovery program and even as a coffee house with performers. Today we in addition to an amazing musician (Christian reggae) we had a large screen projector screen which drew in quite a crowd for the Women’s Hockey Gold Medal Game Canada against the US. It was our job to serve and provide security for the venue. We had a good time visiting and taking abuse for the team USA. We were also able to share a meal with several homeless folk who were able to enjoy the food and fellowship. More than Gold has several performance venues were Christian artists sing, act, or entertain these are first class performances and the Gospel is communicated as part of the music or performance.
I especially enjoyed the music today. I don’t believe I have heard Reggae as praise music before. It was amazing; I wonder how it would go over Sunday morning in Tupper Lake? On the way “home” we were able to enjoy the nighttime vistas and share the joy of the home town crowd after their Gold medal win on the ice.
Please pray for FBC and the wide variesty of urban misinstries they provide to their community
Here are some photos of the Hobbit house and of Vancouver at night.
