Soul Winners Boot Camp Hollister Ca Oct. 23rd-26th 2008

What is Soul Winners Boot Camp? Good question. Ever wonder how or why it was so simple for people to be converted in the new testament church and today it seems to be very complicated and it takes people forever to be converted and or receive the Holy Ghost? 
Well SWBC is a traveling evangelism conference that strips away all the traditional "church" methods of soul winning. It brings back how simple it is to repent, receive the free gift of the Holy Ghost, and to be Baptized in Jesus name.  What makes this conference so unique unlike many others, here you actually get to practice what they teach. We actually got to go out and walk the streets of Hollister Ca. and pass out invitations to the church and block party's that where hosted on Friday October 24th, and on Saturday October 25th.  
After the day conference, everybody got into groups of 5 and where given maps of Hollister. We then went out door knocking for the next 2 hours inviting people to the free block party where we would be giving out free food, and giveaways. The Pentecostal church took over downtown Hollister with some pretty loud music. They also gave iPod's, money, gift cards, and free food and drinks to over 400 people. 
People came as they were and not before long people where lining up to be baptized.
Isai Galindo was part of the house band keeping the groove down. I know that v-drums are not this thing, but he did pretty good on them. 
Organ is not my thing, but I was placed in charge of all music for the event. Teaching and working with both musicians and singers. Everything turned out great, it was a lot of work but it was well worth it.
Here is a quote from Nathaniels Blog about the music for the conferences,
Luis Lenzi took care of all of the music!  Bro Maddix paid Luis, the band and the praise team the highest compliment they could ever receive.  He said that not only were they extremely talented but they were also extremely anointed!  I cannot tell you how great that is.  Every single musician and singer was under the influence of the holy ghost all weekend long!  Now this is not different from the way it normally is at The Pentecostal Church but it went to a new level this weekend.  Thank you Luis for all of your help and listening to me gripe and gripe!  You are da man.
