Hello Jason! Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Madolyn . I’m a 10th grader and I am from Whittier, California. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “Why in the world is some random 15 year old emailing me?” It’s kind of a funny story actually. See, my spring break is this week. I’m off from school for a whole week & my grandmother & I were planning on flying out to North Carolina this entire week to visit some family, but there was a change in plans. We’ll be going there in a few months instead. Although, I got a call from my grandmother when she told me that there was a change in plans about a month ago. She called asking me if I’d like to go to Santa Barbara in the meantime for my spring break. I was immediately thrilled with the idea. Then, I realized that ISLA VISTA CHURCH IS LOCATED IN SANTA BARBARA! I bought your book, “Jesus Burgers” about a month or two ago & I think it’s safe to say that I am definitely a fan. I absolutely love it. I read about one story a night as much as possible, and each time I read it, God touches my heart and wrecks me. I’ve cried, laughed, and felt God just use this book to touch me. It’s powerful, Jason. Thanks for writing and publishing it. I’m a fan. I first heard about Jesus Burgers somewhere on the Internet one day, which lead me to the website where I began to watch all the video’s you guys have posted. I’ve even downloaded the entire FMLYBND album and play it everywhere I go. I have just been so blessed by all the things you guys do to glorify the Kingdom to bring heaven to earth. You guys are so radical and I am the same way. Before all of this, I had never heard of a ministry like Jesus Burgers. It is so unique. I grew up in church and my parents were leaders right when our former pastor was starting his church. So I was raised around leaders. I’ve seen so many things in ministry that not the average person ever witnesses. It is very clear that God has called me to be a leader. I apparently have a calling on my life. And I say this, not to brag because that’s foolish. My heart longs to see revival in this generation and world that is just falling to pieces and longing for something greater. I have visions and dreams to see my generation completely wrecked and in love with God. Although, that is no easy task and I am pretty darn sure you are aware of that. My heart is torn when I pass by people in the halls at school who you can just tell by their expressions and easily read that they are broken and weary. I feel this tug on my heart to do something about it, to be a light in such a dark place. And all the videos, the Jesus Burgers ministry, the book, and all these things have encouraged me and inspired me to be and do greater.

On April 1st we will be raising $7,000 for our album to be released this summer

So funny how God works! I went to The Garden Church this morning. I was planning on going to the 9:15am service but… didn’t… But that’s ok! Because God had a plan today! I went to the 11:15am instead and close to the end of the service, from far away, I saw Brendon Peacock walking towards the front to get prayer. My insides exploded… I thought, “AHHH!! My Isla Vista Church FAMILY!!!” I waited until he was all done and spoke to Brendon for a while. Turns out he’s in town for his spring break and was debating whether or not he should go to his parents church or check out The Garden for the first time. Through him I met his two close friends that go to TG who THEN introduced me to some more people. I told them I’ve been meaning to go to the college community group on Monday nights but I never knew where it was held. Turns out.. it’s right down the street from where I live and there are a few girls who live in the same apartments where I live who also go to CSULB. Not only that but… Pastor Derren introduced himself to me today and turns out he got saved at Jesus Burgers when he went to UCSB for a year hahah WHAT?! Had an amazing morning to say the least…

Due to Spring Break we had the Sunday Church Gathering at out our house (the sueno tabernacle), dinner to follow

Halloween 2013 Teaser | Jesus Loves IV

Hey my name is Matt and I am a third year at Cal Poly SLO and am involved with CRU here. Lately God has been really calling me to branch out and trust Him more and my friend Kristen reminded me about IV church. I've been down there I think once and have talked to Jason a couple times, including one time when he came up to slo to speak at CRU a while back. I've 
been watching the videos of all God has been doing down there and am stoked! I am heading back home to San Diego for spring break tomorrow and was wondering if I could stop by and  hopefully do the Mac n Jesus and prayer/worship night!  Thanks! -Matt

Jesus Burgers was the featured article in a new online magazine this month called SHIFT. Read the article online, yay God!

Hey Pastor Jason! Hi I’m &*%*$ (this is not her name, I changed it),, currently a senior at Biola University. I have heard tons about Jesus Burgers and Isla Vista Church through my friends who go to The Chapel in La Habra and from a ministry I was involved in at Biola called Revive. I just wanted to let you know what an amazing blessing and encouragement the IVC ministry has been towards me. I’ve been listening to the JesusLovesIV podcasts ever since this summer consistently and every time the messages just draw out so much life in me. I have also almost read cover to cover Jesus Burgers and Family of God, and I say this without exaggeration…. They are the best Christian Literature books I have read besides the Bible (and that says something cause I go to Bible school where they give us tons to read)!!!! I just feel like the books give such a fresh perspective on truth, and does in a way that intertwines story,experience, trials, and triumphs. I already know what a huge impact you guys have been to IV because I have read and listen to a ton of your guys’ stuff but I just wanted to inform you that even the stuff you don’t see tangible fruit of always like the podcasts and books have done an immense work in my heart through the power of the Holy Spirit. I have an immense amount of respect for you all and I feel in many ways you guys are my mentors even though I have not met you all personally; perhaps one day Lord-willing I can come to Jesus Burgers/IVC soon! May The Lord continue to use you all immensely! So grateful for the books and podcasts, it feels like Christmas when I listen to them! In Christ, &*%*$

This sign is a modern day fishing net, as people run up asking us to bless them…it’s absolutely AMAZING and I love seeing/hearing about all that God is doing at it.  We put it out on Friday nights across the street from the Jesus Burgers House.

Jesus Burgers and myself and the ministry are being featured in a new online magazine called Shift.

Album due out by the summer, yay God!
