Holy Encounters with BOOMERS!!!

This past weekend my school came up to Fredericton for a mission. It was really good. You can see God really moving and opening hearts and minds. People were really receiving Him these past couple days.

One guy was walking the street was crying out to the "Holy one in the sky" He went to every church to see if they were open. The only open church was the one our team was at. He came in and just told us everything. This young guy was so full of joy and excitment. He only wanted more. We sat him down and prayed for a major download and blessing on him. It was awesome. His name was Joshua.

Last night after Erin and I dropped off Christian to the place he was staying we felt like taking a walk. We really wanted to find someone to talk to and share God with them. As we were walking we were praying. I was singing and Erin was praying. Then the clock hit 10:00 at city hall. Right there I really felt something stir inside of me. There was something strong and thick. I felt God saying something to me about that hour. I wasn't sure of what though. We kept walking and praying. We were asking God for sign and for him to show something of what he wants us to do tonight. haha Well As we walked further there was a nightclub called Boom. There was a sign in the window that read :
BOOM nightclub, Tonight Saturday, Open 8-2, Happy Hour 8-11, HEAVEN 10-2, blazing house tracks taking you to the next level" Erin and I were totally caught off guard. This place was claiming to be a blazing house tacks that will take people to the NEXT LEVEL!!! We remember that God really stirred something in us about 10:00. So right after the clock struck we saw this sign. It was CRAZY!

We both strongly felt that this was our sign. We didn't what to do though from there. So we sat down on a bench and prayed that God will the boom out to us. We really didn't feel good about going in. Not long after a guy (named George) that worked there came out with a clip board and circled around Erin and I. Erin said: Excuse me do you have one of those sheets in the window? We would like one. The guy was like yeah hold on. He came back asking why do you want it? Haha our KEY! So we told him who we are and that this sign in the window was very prophetic. This guy we were talking to had backslidden and grew up in the Baptist church. He also use to speak in tongues. IT WAS CRAZY!!! He seemed so interested in what we were saying but he had to go back his job.

Erin and I sat out there on the bench a little longer then another guy came and we began to talk him. His name was Adam. I began to tell him the gospel and encourage him. I just spoke words of love over this guy. It was really good. He was a different kind of guy I wouldn't know how to explain him. He was listening and I really believe that everything Erin and I said to him he thought about and is still thinking about. hahah He called me a fortune teller. hahah I laughed and said" no man I know nothing about you it's all God." He said I was dead on with everything I said to him. It was an amazing night. God really spoke to both Erin and I. We found out from this Adam guy that boom was a gay bar. We were really happy that God protected us and kept us from going in. Instead he brought the "boomers" out to us.

One thing I really noticed as people were walking into the nightclub was that they were all baby boomers (born right after WW2) or many of them were. It hit right then. These people were baby boomers. But God see them still as babies and wants them to BOOM in to the LIGHT! He wants them to be BABY BOOMERS FOR HIM!!! GOD BOOM THEM WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT!!! Thank you JESUS!

We headed home after sitting on a cold bench praying for an hour and a half.
Praising God for wonderful and Holy encounters!! Thank you Lord!!
