A DREAM
A couple of month's ago I had a dream that I feel is significant enough to share here. (Click here to read dream) The Lord spoke to my heart in the dream. This was the army that I had been a part of to lay the foundation for change in Hollywood. Something had been completed.

In the dream there was some sort of pageant production being done (in the streets of Hollywood / Los Angeles). It was a production that required hunreds of people in period (romanesque) warrior costumes to be lining the streets and hundreds of others to participate in the pageant who lived here in Hollywood.

As I walked down the pathways of the park streets where there were many many people I knew for years and others who had only been here for a short time, I was seeing actors, writers, producers and others -- all a part of the family of God. All a part of this great mission field we had been called to change. A big blanket of believers over Hollywood that were here.

I remembered when the Lord first called me here, I was shocked to find such a small amount of people committed to Him or seeking to glorify Him with their talents or make an impact with their lives. That was not the case today. The irony that they were all in battle costumes (albeit 1st century) did not escape me. Every few feet I would shake hands with one of the warriors thanking them for their participation in this day performance and I head friends and colleagues in front of me and behind talking about their plans for the future.

Ripe for Harvest
I woke up with a sense that the Lord had used us -- all of us in different roles -- to make a real tangible difference here. It has not gone unoticed by me that in the last 5 or so years there have been an enormous number of new congregations, churches and emerging leaders springing up in Hollywood. Leaders and artists with a heart after God and a vision to see the impact that Hollywood has as a mouthpeice to the rest of the world.
