    Growing up in an alcoholic home, Jason Lomelino just wanted to find peace.  He was confident religion wasn’t the answer and spent his days partying and drinking.  But then one night he was “ambushed by the love of God” and all he wanted to do was tell people about Jesus.  That’s when Jason got a crazy idea.  Why not go into the darkest place he knew – the hard-partying streets of Isla Vista, California, and have a barbecue?  That first night turned into more than twenty years, thousands of free burgers, and countless lives changed through the ministry of Jesus Burgers.

ECMO, Gary's dog, has not only been the physical help that Gary has needed, but he's also been a needed companion through difficult times.

Making ripples

I love this podcast. I tell everyone about it. Believers and unbelievers! I wrote a book about making ripples for God and mentioned this podcast in it. If we as Christians would share great podcasts like this with people. We could all be planting seeds of salvation to someone!!
Keep sharing! 💗
