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

About The Authors

Bobby and Dot Chance answered God’s calling on their lives to take Jesus to the streets in July of 1981. Leaving their professional careers and close family behind in Dallas, Texas, they sold their new suburban home, packed up their three young daughters and a few belongings and began sharing the love of Jesus on Hollywood Boulevard. Jesus broke their hearts for the lost. Upon landing in Hollywood, Bobby and Dot joined the staff of The Holy Ghost Repair Service, a powerful street ministry directed by Charles and Judy McPheeters. A life of full-time radical street evangelism, “influencing the city that influences the world, ” became their passion. As Charles McPheeters put it, the Chances decided to “get out of their seats and into the streets.” A little more than one year after Bobby and Dot’s arrival in Hollywood, Charles McPheeters went home to be with the Lord following a short bout with cancer. Bobby and Dot continued to team with Charles’ widow, Judy, as The Holy Ghost Repair Service literally “dug a foxhole in the devil’s front yard.” As HGRS Associate Director for the next four years, Bobby, along with Dot, truly lived the slogan for the ministry , “Repairing broken lives for Jesus… in the power of His Spirit.” Playing guitar and singing on street corners, street preaching on Hollywood Blvd. and confronting street prostitutes and pimps along Sunset Strip with the Gospel evolved into more than a ministry; it became the Chances’ lifestyle.
