Interesting men take Gospel tracts at events like these. Watch for the surprise! (And stay tuned for two important reports from the Pride Parade 2012 coming up: One concerns an interview with a very friendly gay man, his evasive answers, and my comments about this community; the other, a rebuke to the hate preachers who

Why I’ll Apologize to the Gay Pride Parade-Goers

Jun 7, 2012Steve Sanchez101 CommentsBIG Events, Ev Tips/Tools, Gay community

On Sunday a small team and myself will be going to West Hollywood to share our faith at one of the largest Pride Parades in the country. I felt so compelled to do this that I asked to be excused from my regular pastoral duties on Sunday morning. I am not necessarily looking forward to

Bummed at the Booth

The other booths around us were astonished at how many people gathered around our humble little Christian booth (the only Christian representation in the fair).

The Tough Crowd revealed itself only when I decided to start preaching in the open air to those waiting to be taken back to their cars in the shuttle bus line. See for yourself, then read my explanation below.

The evangelism team attended the Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena and had too many encounters to write about; so, I will be posting at least one astounding video a day next week, shot by my friend, Steve Pivovaroff on his trusty iPhone. Read below for part 2 to start this series of videos.
