Thur night the 4th of June will be the official launch of the 220 Box. What is the Box? It is a massive building that was originally a Compusa that shut down. Over 25000 sq. ft that we are turning into a massive hangout joint for young people with games, concessions, indoor volleyball, many other interesting things and an 800 seat aud. Yea, 800 seats! It is a big ol’ bldg. that is now going to be used for God’s glory.
Starting tom night we will be open Wed through Sat every week till the end of July. 2 months of heavenly craziness. Great things are already planned from car shows to water fights. All events that are 220 will be held there for the next 2 months. Prayer, leadership, Deluge nights, and special events will be hosted by the Box.
We encourage kids to come by, hang out, go out from there to the mall and movies, come to services, and most importantly GET SAVED! We encourage parents to come in and see what is going on. Even though it is not meant for parents to hang out (cause it might scare our target audience away, nothing to hide!) they are welcome to see what God is doing in the hearts of young people from all over the area.
Where is the Box? Look for the big light outside all this week next door to the Mall of La. Cant miss it! Look for updates soon!
I’m so loving the Box! The thing I love about it is that it is such an “out of the box” idea. I’m believing with you for 800+ new souls. Thank you again Brother Joel for St. Louis….encouraged beyond words!
We had such a great time in prayer and worship last night with the launch of “Vertical” at the South. Included in the prayer was the 220 Box. The Lord has been waiting to pour out some massive Glory on his children. My husband Tracy and I are so excited for the 220 interns and youth that follow your leadership; which happens to be awesomly annointed by God. Joe (13) loves the time he gets to spend with his group leader and his friends. He was talking to me in the car this morning about how glad he is that he has a family with people of Bethany. I totally agreed. We have been welcomed with open arms literally.
In keeping this about youth…some kids need a night light. Sometimes, the night light can’t be bright enough for the things they go through. Only God can deliver them from the darkness they have been living in. Thank you Brother Joel for staying on your path and shining a light for the youth of Baton Rouge, America … and the world. As a parent and loving daughter of the Lord I encourage you to continue to reach out and engourage these young people to model themsleves after the only standard, Jesus.
I pray that the youth, interns and leadership of 220 continue to live “Fully Alive” in the Lord. God continue to fill them with Your fire, so they are overflowing and just have to pour out Your Love over all who come in their paths. Let the Holy Spirit lead each of the 220 helpers into awesome new gifts for Your Glory. Give them all disernment for situations that may arise, so they can continue to do Your Will in this time. Lord I am believing for more and more of Baton Rouge’s youth to be saved. Lord that they begin to minister to other kids and their parents. God break every stronghold in their lives so they can know You and Your wonderous Spirit. These things I ask for all the Glory and Praise to go to You … In Jesus Christ’s Holy Name … Amen
The bride is beginning to awaken from her slumber. It is harvest time!

Oh Boy! Another way to add people to your Jesus Loves Me cult!
Get kids to play, eat cookies and drink your ludicrous kool-aid!
Surely this will never be posted. Opposing points of view not accepted!
Lord, I pray that you bring revelation to the person that calls himself “Roadkill Bob”. Show your Glory in such a way that the only explaination he can give is You. Father God, show Mr. Bob that Jesus Loves him and that is why you gave your only begotten Son to be scourged and die for his sins as well. Bring down the veil of deceit and open his eyes to the “Truth”, AKA Your Son and Your Living Word, AKA The Bible. Lord I also ask that when this happens that he builds a personal relationship with you. Then Mr. Bob can add people to Your Kingdom by his revelation and testimony of what you have done for him, as he will gain more knowledge about Your wonderful presence. Thank you Lord for allowing his comments to be shown to serve as a Warning to the Bride as she must awaken and rise to the calling from her Groom. These things I ask in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name, Amen!
Hi! I always pass the Box when I go to the mall with my mom and we never knew what it was until the 220 part clicked in my head. I’m so bummed that I missed out on the experience!!! It looked sooo fun and I’m sorry that I missed it! I can’t wait until it reopens!!!!
