Dear ND’s,
Since it is Easter week, you should be getting ready to “go to the beach” in your minds and memories! As you will well recall, for many years it was our ND tradition to invade the Grand Stand for Easter weekend.
Frankly, we had to be a bit crazy to do what we did then! To invade Myrtle Beach as an interracial Christian singing group was a bit suicidal! It is a wonder we survived as we set up our flatbed in the horseshoe at OD across from the Pavilion…or Spanish Galleon…Fat Jacks…or the Pad – and sang about Jesus! And then to go nose-to-nose with the Budwiser Clydesdales, Bush Mountain and the Coers Silver Bullet was a bit insane! But God blessed both our faith and foolishness! Lives were changed for time and eternity because of the songs we sang…the testimonies we gave…the messages we preached.
Since this is our “40th Anniversary” as a ministry, I am posting a few of the Easter pictures from the earliest trips around 1973 until our last ones in the latter 1980s. I hope you will enjoy looking at them and that they will bring back a lot of special memories. Even more, I hope and pray that these pictures will freshly inspire you to be just as “radical for Jesus” now as you were then!
Finally, I will be ministering in Haiti this Easter so I do covet your prayers as I once again invade the bastion of voodoo with the liberating Gospel of the Lord Jesus.
In His resurrection love and power,
JL
PS: I want to again remind you of our special “40th Anniversary Reunion” the first weekend of August – so mark it off on your calendars! And please pass this email along to any of the old ND’s that you are in contact with.
