During our first week here we had a lot of training on how to share Christ with the people of Santa Cruz and were given many talks on what people believe and the way they live. Statistics show that there is a very small population of people that live here are even churched here.
I also began my job at a company called "Whitings." They own 19 stands along the boardwalk. I really have enjoyed working there so far! The people I work for and with are so great. They are so excited to work with the "Crusaders" and love to hear our stories. I have invited a lot of coworkers to our dinners and a lot have shown up. There we are able to fully share the Gospel of what is doing in our lives.
It has come to my understanding that there are so many people who have not heard the Gospel or are very turned off by the idea of God. Over these last two weeks I have had several opportunities to share and listen to a very diverse crowd about what they think about God and their spiritual journey. I have gotten a great amount of feedback. A lot of people there is a God but they are content living life the way they are and aren't interested or don't think it is possible to have a personal relationship with God. My heart is completely broken by seeing that the way people believe and live their lives aligns with these statistics.
Please pray for continued opportunities to share and that God will continue to use us fully and that the hearts of Santa Cruz will open to the Word.
Here's a picture of where I live and the beautiful creation I get to look at every day!
