TeeOffenBar

Just some more pics from our Christmas outreaches. Once a month, we remove all the chairs in the back of our movie theater meeting place and decorate it kinda artsy, alternative, unstructured with throw pillows, rugs, tapestries, candles, etc. - it becomes the TeeOffenBar! The goal is to reach out to the teens and young adults who are waiting in line to get into the bars, nightclubs and discos on the same street where we meet as a church. In fact, right underneath us (in the basement part of the building) is an infamous Freiburger nightclub!

While the people are waiting in line to get into the clubs, discos, we pass out flyers inviting them to TeeOffenBar where we offer hot coffee, tea, snacks for free. It's a great chance to talk to these teens (many are just kids!!) and to share about Jesus in a non-threatening atmosphere - many are amazed that we as a church meet in an old movie theater (high cool factor). This last month, we had between 50 to 70 non-believers come thru the T.O.B. - and we had many great conversations (many w/ Muslims) and passed out many Bibles and flyers and tracts. In fact a few have even come to Sun and Wed services. And some even have become 'regulars' at T.O.B. In fact, the bouncer of the neighboring nightclub (a non-believer) even recommends that 'his' people come to us while they are waiting to get into the nightclub!!

Love it! What a great opportunity to reach out to those youth. It's so good to see God reaching out in love to the lost all over the world. I pray for a fruitful harvest of souls from your outreaches. Just got a knock on the door...our Morman friends. Take care, Rose
