Years ago, I went to Berkeley for a prayer walk with my wife and kids

and some college students. As we were praying, I noticed there were some

students dressed like vampires carrying sacks of blood. They were pasty-

faced, and everything about them was dark.

So I walked over to a guy and asked, "What are you doing?" He

replied, "We're role playing, and I'm a vampire, and all of our friends are

vampires. The idea of the game is to kill the other person and drink their

blood, but it's just for fun." (How about playing Yahtzee, Pictionary, or

something?)

At that same time, we heard wild drums beating. We went over to the

middle of the university center and there were students gathered all

around. They were beating hollowed out industrial drums with broken

sticks. They were also chanting some mantra. The moment I walked past, I

could feel a demonic presence. I knew immediately I had to witness to

these guys—I couldn't just walk by there and not say anything. This would

be the first time I would meet him: the Hate Man of Berkeley. As soon as

my friend, Jeff Rostocil, and I, turned the corner after dropping my family

off at the car, they were gone. I mean it was like turning a light on inner-

city cockroaches—they had scattered. Only a couple of people remained,

and one of them was the Hate Man.

I walked over to him and said "Hey, man, my name is Sean, and I just

wanna..." He interrupted me, put up his hands, and said, "Don't talk to me

unless you put your hands on my hands and say, 'I hate you.'" This is why

he's called the Hate Man. He supposedly gets empowered when you put

your hands on his hands and say, "I hate you." I looked back at him and

said, "I'm here to tell you that Jesus Christ wants your life."

He got visibly upset and jumped back from me. Right next to us was

one of the young guys who had been beating the drums. We ended up

witnessing to this young man and praying with him for salvation right on

the spot. Needless to say, I was not the Hate Man's friend from that point

on. I had now taken one of his disciples.

PROPHETIC EVANGELISM

A DIFFERENT KIND OF BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL

So, let me fast forward. I'm doing another prayer walk with a college

ministry that's on the same campus. As we're talking and saying good-bye,

I notice the Hate Man and he's watching me from a distance. I glanced

over at him, not too concerned. But he had something like a blue laser in

his hand.

I see him flash this blue light, but I'm not really paying attention to

him. In that moment, when I noticed the blue light, I turned to say

something to someone and it felt like someone had taken a mallet and hit

me right on the back of my head. Immediately, I collapsed on my knees

and I was holding my head. It felt like a blood vessel was bursting in my

brain. I felt like I was dying.

My son was the only one to recognize what was going on and said

"Dad, what's going on? What's the matter?" I said, "Son, I don't know.
