Awaiting Rose Parade, crowds along streets hear the Gospel

PASADENA, Calif. (BP)--In the hours before the Tournament of Roses Parade, 70-plus volunteers led 12 people in making decisions for Christ among thousands who staked out a spot to view the festivities along Pasadena's Colorado Boulevard.

Volunteers from churches across the country, including a number of evangelists, participated in a variety of New Year's Eve initiatives spearheaded by San Diego businessman Martin Davis for the 12th consecutive year.

Two mime teams performed more than 35 times throughout the night at various spots along the crowded street. After each performance, evangelist Darrel Davis shared the Gospel.
