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

“Oh, and now we have float number 12 from the Daystar Group. It’s called ‘From Death to Life.” She continued, “And I see there is a hearse surrounded by the Blues Brothers.” Denny and I exited the hearse and with the help of our bodyguards, we swung the back door of the hearse open and pulled out a casket and sat it down in the middle of Duval Street. Suddenly, the crowd was going wild. The announcer continued at the top of her voice , “There is a hearse. Now there is a casket being brought out!” We opened the casket and our friend, Scott Durrance, dressed in his best burial suit stood upright and stepped out of the casket. As Scott stood up on Duval Street, we handed him a half-mile hailer portable PA bullhorn, and as he began to speak the announcer was coming unglued. Over the PA she exclaimed , “There is a hearse… there is a casket… someone has risen out of the casket and now he’s… now he’s…” She paused in disbelief, then she yelled out, “He’s preaching!!!!!” Scott began to preach to the crowd of thousands on the half-mile hailer a message no one in that crowd will ever forget. He preached, “You know, I just took a ride in a hearse, and I lived to tell about it. And standing in front of this Judges Reviewing Stand, reminds me that…” He paused for a second and then continued, “Someday we will ALL stand before God, the ultimate Judges Reviewing Stand… and we will give account for our lives!!!”
