So you Think You Can Dance 2010- Fullerton, CA

Now this is the 4th annual So You Think You Can Dance competition that our church has put on. It took place at Cal State Fullerton College and was a great turn out! There were many different styles of Dance from hip hop to tap to modern. One crew had about 30 dance members in it! I would say there were about 250-300 people at the event. Praise the Lord in bringing many people to the event! Then at the end Break Free rocked the beats on the dance floor alongside bboy Don, Eddy, Maria, and Matt. It was one of the most fun cyphers I have been a part of! There was lots of energy and joy while we were dancing. Then I had the privilege to share the gospel of Jesus Christ at the end. I spoke out of Mark 10 on the rich young ruler about surrendering your life to Christ. Praise the Lord about 7 people responded to the call and trusted in Jesus as savior and Lord! Thanks to all the prayers of the saints, God answered in a mighty way! God “wants all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.” 1 Tim. 2:4

Break Free brings the Gospel to Tokyo, Japan!

Well the Lord opened up a door to go to the land of the rising sun, Japan! This trip initially started when Mike Swalley and myself (Josh) wanted to go to the biggest break dance competition in the world (Red Bull BC ONE) that was being held in Japan. We thought we could make a mission trip out of it if the Lord blessed us with tickets to the competition, a place to stay and plane tickets. It’s amazing how in my heart I planned my course, but the Lord directed my steps (Proverbs 16:9). I first planned to have my wife Krista, Mike and myself go on this trip if it were Gods will. But Mike couldn’t make it do to seminary, Krista couldn’t make it do to parent teacher conferences, and I still felt God was leading me to go. I wasn’t sure with who though. So when the Red bull tickets went on sale the Lord opened up the door for me buy 3 tickets! That was an answer to prayer. Then it was about 2 or 3 weeks later that God provided a place for us to stay for free! Then the Lord provided sponsors for the trip so we could get plane tickets and have cash for the trip. Then Vincente (Saint-E) and Angelito were able to accompany me to Tokyo. It is an amazing city. The sad thing is that Christianity is only .4% in Japan. Its one of the most unreached places in the world. We were excited to work alongside fuse community church in our outreaches. The theme verse for our week was Eph. 5:16 “Making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.” We had the pleasure to teach a bboy class to their church. And then we were able go out to two different train stations and dance to draw a crowd. One funny story was when we were at the train station. A big crowd came to watch and one young man in a suit, tie, and brief case came to watch. He couldn’t speak English but showed much interest in the dancing so I asked him to dance. He dropped his brief case, unloosened his tie, and got down on the floor to break in his nice square toe dress shoes! And he was good. I have never seen anyone bboy all dressed up on the streets. He was a die hard. Thank the Lord we handed out many tracks and got into some good conversations. Every place we ministered, God provided Japanese bboys. Whether we were at train stations, the University, or at the Red Bull competition, we were able to share the Good News of Christ with the bboys. God did an amazing work while we were there! And yeah, the Red Bull BC ONE was awesome! We actually had probably the most witnessing convo’s at this competition. The dancing was incredible and the energy was upbeat!We even had the blessing to dance and converse with the Red Bull dancers a few days before the event. Overall, the Lord really gave us a great trip and we really enjoyed serving him out there!!

Woodbridge High with Bboy Don- Irvine, CA

Another school the Lord opened the door up for us to preach the gospel was at woodbridge high school of Irvine. There were about 100 students who came. Thanks to FCA we were able to get our foot in the door and share about Jesus. A good friend of mine, bboy Don with In Rythm with Him Minstry, came to dance with me. It was fun and there was a lot of energy with this group. Something that really moved me was that when I gave the invitation to recieve Christ only one girl raised her hand. It takes a lot of courage in the midst of your peers and friends to stand up to recieve Christ. But she did it. I encouraged her with these words that Christ told us " There is more rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner who repents, than 99 righteous people who need no repentance." Praise the Lord for saving that girl and the seeds of gospel were planted into the hearts of the other students there!

Break Free hits the schools through FCA

Through God's amazing soverignty Break Free is still preaching the gospel at PUBLIC high schools through Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). California is such a liberal state and we all know you cannot even pray in public schools let alone have Christ preached, but The Lord still has his hand on keeping the door open for us to share Christ crucified. This past Wed. I was not physically feeling good and was supposed to dance/share at Foothill Highschool. I really wasn't sure if I could dance and my voice was not sounding good because of my cold. But Mike Swalley (BISHOP) sent me a prayer text that the Lord would work powerfully through my weakness. And man, did the Lord ever! A different micael, helped me dance at the school. There were over 500 high schoolers in the gym!! We danced and the crowd kept getting bigger. I started to preach,and the crowd kept growing. I have never had spoken to that many students in a public school. Praise Jesus! It was a like a mini crusade, by Gods grace. Thanks to FCA, they provided free pizza for the kids and did a fantastic job getting the word out. So I preached about Gods greatest gift given to humanity, Jesus Christ. I shared the gospel and gave the invite. About 7 kids stood to their feet in the midst of all their peers to proclaim Jesus as Lord. They understood "...the gift of God is eternal life, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23" I was so pumped, how many seeds were planted and the souls that were saved. Please continue to pray for me and FCA, as we preach Christ over the next couple months in the public schools.
