Keynote Summer Project 2010 has definitely been one to remember. God has moved in many ways in many hearts around the country.
Stop on Green, an acoustic rock band, had the opportunity to work with prison chaplains, juvenile detention centers, Campus Crusade summer projects, a home for at-risk kids and an unusual church in Ohio called Target: Dayton! Ministries. Designed to minister to the homeless and indigent in the area, Target: Dayton! incorporates a meal following each of their services.
One of the band members wrote about their experience:
“After wrestling with some electrical ground hum and set up problems, we played to a full auditorium of about 150 people. Pastor Mark prayed with the group before and after the concert and praised God for bringing our music to a place that it could reach people. Right after the show Target Dayton allowed us to be servers/waiters for the dinner that followed the concert, aprons and all! Such an amazing experience to serve people in such a way! In our debrief we found out that 9 people made decisions for Christ and 5 people wanted to talk more about spirituality. Target Dayton said we were truly a blessing and were so thankful for what we did for them and what we are doing for God!” – Cory, bass player, Stop on Green
Proclaiming the gospel, being the hands and feet of Jesus to a hurting community, giving a cup of cold water in the name of Jesus – elements of real life change in the lives of these amazing students!
“It’s news I’m most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God’s powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting with Jews and then right on to everyone else! God’s way of putting people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what Scripture has said all along: “The person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives.” [Romans 1:16,17 The Message]
