Chambers Bay US Open Golf - Ministry Anyone?

My heart's desire was to conduct some form of an outreach ministry during the US Open, this year at Chambers Bay in Washington.

After our experience at Pinehurst last year, we were, no, ok, I, was hoping to have an updated version of our outreach.  It just didn't happen.  Why?

I have come to understand that what happens or doesn't happen is dependent upon God.  Pretty good statement, huh? Seriously.  I mention my heart up at the top and I truly believe that my heart wanted to conduct an outreach at the US Open at Chambers Bay, but, there was absolutely no interest from anyone else I know and I was unable to coordinate a cross-country effort to partner with churches, para-ministries and anyone else.  The effort was so Herculean, I wasn't even able to begin it.  So, I believe the Lord didn't want it to happen.

But, what might be happening for the Lord at Chambers Bay this week?

I did a cursory Google search and could not find anything of a large magnitude where it would have come up in Google.  What did come up was our site, go figure, from our US Open outreach from last year.  That was encouraging, but, what about this year?

I get a Twitter message @ 7 AM or so and it is @Judahsmith.  He's conducting a live Periscope video outreach from inside the car as he and a comedian friend travel to the US Open at Chambers Bay. Firstly, Periscope is awesome!!  Secondly, Judah Smith is a young pastor/teacher from the area who has been hanging out with Bubba Watson, Justin Bieber and the like.  He's an "outa the box" kinda guy and I love it......  

My mind begins to race relative to the conduct of ministerial outreach in a modern format, ie, what if we could, indeed, discover the connections with pastors, teachers, evangelistic Believers, chaplains, PGA Tour Players (Bubba, Ricky, Ben Crane, Hunter, Jordan, etc.), Caddies, administrators, managers, the members of College Golf Fellowship, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and on and on and on whether attending or paying attention to the US Open from afar?

What if we could conduct some events in the area of where the event is being played, like the "Tales from the Tour" event conducted at the Phoenix Waste Management Open the last few years and, of course, establish relationships with local churches like our "Giving Others Loving Fellowship" program. But, what if we could establish a series of 'virtual' outreach events?  We could have "periscope" type spontaneous events. We could video live-stream the Tales from the Tour event and conduct live interaction with folks.  We could virtually equip evangelists with the capability to engage with folks at the Open and use their smart phones to report what's happening.  We could conduct impromptu interviews with the Pro's and ask them questions relative to the Open, their games and their faith life, heck, many of the pros are doing it themselves now, we would just convince them that talking about their walk with Christ would be beneficial for the Kingdom.

Just ideas, but, sure would like to see the Lord honored at these major golf events, and, even lesser events just as long as the Lord is edified and those the Lord is seeking have an opportunity to hear the Gospel.

The fields of golf are ripe for the harvest.

Right?
