Online Zoom call for Plur Life Ministries
Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. That’s what young people attending Rave music festivals are looking for. That’s why they coined the word, “PLUR” as their battle cry.
Since 2009, PLUR Life Ministries has been rescuing kids who are searching for “PLUR” by meeting them on their own turf: at Rave festivals. So what do a group of middle aged moms and dads and grandparents do in the parking lot of a Rave festival? Love on the kids. Give them a hot chocolate. Offer them a hug. Wrap them in a warm blanket. Call an ambulance if they need it. Protect them from predators. Tell them about Jesus. Invite them to a weekend camp in the mountains to learn more about Jesus. Give them a bead bracelet (collectors items in the Rave world) that points them to https://www.plurway.com.
Sometimes these kids seek out their “Rave Moms” at festival after festival, year after year. They know they’ll always find love and a hug without being judged. For some, this is the only place in their lives where they find those things. Learn more about this ministry at http://www.raveoutreach.com.
PLUR will be present at about 8-10 of the 50+ Rave events held across the country this year. There’s only one thing stopping them from attending more: Not enough parents and grandparents who are willing to sacrifice a good night’s sleep to show Jesus’ love to kids in danger.
PLUR is asking our Barnabas Partners to come together and help them think through their Big Question.
