Bus Rides and Brothels

Sometimes people look at it with an odd, unexplainable stare.  Completely wrapped with Jesus Loves Sin City graphics, our bus tootles down the Vegas Strip.  Captain Rose, AKA Stephen, has the personality to pitch fun, humor, and inclusion to anyone who wants or needs a ride.  It’s free.  But people don’t get it.  They think there must be a catch.  There is not.

When people load our "Free Ride Bus," we don’t ask people to state their beliefs before loading in.  We don’t offer communion or a liturgical expression of scripture.  We just give people a ride.  People ask, “Why?” and our response is simple.  “We are trying to share a little bit of love to show people that we care and we are willing to give.”

From a bus ride to a brothel, our message remains on point, “Jesus Loves.”  It is pretty simple and it is what we sought to communicate in the pages of the JLY book.  We looked through scripture and found that Jesus met a physical need before he ever asserted a spiritual solution.  He used the kindness and love to build bridges, earn equity, and gain traction. 

Our outreaches to those entangled in the Industry have taught us there are some people who are just working to survive.  In many cases they want out, but don’t know how to find freedom.  Pracitcal solutions always leads to a spiritual conversation. 

We offer them Financial Face Lift, a class teaching insights on money management.  We offer Homemade Drive Thru, a class teaching culinary and cooking tips to help, these often single-moms, get their feet placed on solid nutritional ground.  In every setting, we want them to not just hear, but see “Jesus’ love.”

I believe Jesus Loves Sin City.

We seek to meet the most basic needs of those imprisoned by Vegas’ grip.  Along the way, we find some are perfectly content with their profession.  They are not our market.  We look to love unconditionally those that are searching for more.  We believe they are wanting, but do not know how to find Jesus.  We help.  You can too.  Show Jesus's love today to someone by meeting a practical need.  It is called 'kindness.'

This week has been amazing.  Tons of people have emailed, commented, wall posted, and help spread the word of the coming release of Jesus Loves You This I Know.  Jason and I are thankful to all of you.  As we approach the release date, consider being part of the team that helps propel the message.  Whether you are in the UK, Down Under in Australia, somewhere in the Pacific Rim, or here in the States, we need your voice of influence.   Point people to the website www.jesuslovesyou.net.  Each day we post a blog that is directly about some angle of the book.   Call them many chapters.  Read them and forward it through email, facebook, and twitter.

To us, it matters.

Until then,

Craig
