Street Stories - A Ringside Seat To Over 4 Decades Of Taking Jesus To The Streets Of The World

I quickly discovered that in Key West, especially

during Fantasy Festival, anything goes.

All ages seemed to be enjoying this debauchery, even children were nearby, some young enough to be pushed in strollers. Parents obviously didn’t’ think any of this was a problem. Our ministry teams spent the next few days witnessing for Jesus and ministering on the streets of Key West as the anticipation was building for the Fantasy Festival Parade. It was to be on Saturday night close to Halloween, and we could feel the crowd beginning to swell to a few extra thousand people in Key West. Everybody was there for the party of parties. Denny and Mel had prepared a big surprise during the Fantasy Festival Parade for the thousands of revelers. They had signed up to have an official entry in the parade under the name of the Daystar Group. The name of our parade entry float was called From Death to Life. We were number 12 in the parade. God had put us right in the middle of the number of floats and presentations. The plan was to be a Holy Ghost Trojan horse type entry in the parade. Saturday, Halloween weekend, the day of the parade was upon us. We began preparing for a night the Fantasy Festival Parade goers would never forget.
