Trailer City revival meetings, Virginia Beach, Virginia

What do you do with the poor, unwanted city residents who live in a trailer city filled with crime and hopelessness.  In 1996, trailer city, Virginia Beach had 170 felony arrests.  In that same year God called Larry and Lynne Zotzmann, who had recently been touched in our revival meetings in Kill Devil Hills, NC,  to minister to this hurting community, and Trailer Church (named by the residents)  was birthed.

Through their ministry, the Lord began to touch the lives of the residents and there has been a significant change.  In 1997 there were 130 felony arrests and in 1998 the figure dropped to about 90 and in 1999 there were only about a dozen.    Take that which is bad and neglected by society,  add the sweetness of Jesus to it and you have change.  Then add the wine of the Spirit which brings the joy of the Lord and you have the pictures that tell everything below.   

We were on our way up to New York and decided to visit our old home city of Virginia Beach.  When Lyn and Larry heard we were coming, they asked us if we would do meetings in Trailer City.  We immediately agreed and another "SUDDENLY" of the Holy Spirit took place.  The place only seats about 40 and with teenagers and kids sitting on the floor we ministered to a packed Trailer Church. 

To date, there has not been one high school graduate from trailer city.  However that will change.  God has showed up and on Tuesdays the home cell group has grown to 35 and there are weekly salvation's taking place.   God is transforming the place slowly but surely and manifesting His glory in trailer city.  

The photo of the little girl, who tried to hide as the joy hit her.  She had not clue what was happening, but as Jesus loved on her by his Holy Spirit and joy began to manifest in her, she tried to hold her breath, and when that did not work, she pulled her t-shirt over her head.  

Another young man from trailer city had been brought to our revival meetings in VA Beach in 1997 & 8  God touched him mightily.  But several months later he backslid and stopped attending Trailer Church.  A few months ago, he came back to church on his own and re-dedicated his life to Jesus.  When he was asked why he had come back, he replied that he could not forget the way God had come to him and blessed him so much in the revival meetings two years previously.
