Over the last few months me and jud have been going into the 3 prominent strips clubs in San Antonio and been praying and giving out little packages of blessings in the form of baked cakes, sweets and chocolates.
This has worked on so many levels, on the one hand it is just a privilege to bless the bouncers, dancers and bar staff of these establishments, to get to know them better, start friendships up and for them to hear about 24-7 Ibiza and what we do and know we are here to serve them. On the other hand, it messes with a lot of the PR’s heads (PR’s stand outside their bar, trying to get people in, with various drink deals) as they know us and assume we would never go into their workplace. WRONG!
God is present in there and believe me, you can feel his heart break, but it doesn’t mean we are not going to go. Last night we went into one of them with just the simple intention of praying... It’s got to the point now where we don’t even have to pay for drinks as they know our faces and what we do (we don’t wear the 24-7 t-shirt) and they recognize that we love them .
Doing this has been a journey but I hope we, me and jud have been and 24-7 will continue to be, just a sweet a blessing, as all the goodies we have given out. We want our love and friendship to be the gift that hopefully will bring them the gift of salvation...the greatest free gift of all.
