Our church looking for one more Sunday over 100!

So far each Sunday this month has been over 100.

112, 170, 124

I'm looking to baptize another six or so next month.

Soul's are being saved, lives are being changed.

It is so great to see people coming to the Lord!

Pray that the Lord will help us break through to the next level.

A big 'ol double portion of the Spirit of the Lord over you and your congregation, brother. Not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit!

Response: We have been developing a solid base for quite a while.

A couple of months ago we initiated a basic attendance contest.

The church was divided into two teams.

At stake the losers must provide a church cookout for the winners.

We set up a points system.

2 points for a first time visitor, 1 point for repeats, 5 points for a salvation, etc.

In the last two month, next Sunday being the last Sunday the score is 78 to 156. We have had more first time visitors during this contest than in some previous years.

IT JUST HIT RIGHT.

We have gained two solid families of four.

One family is a co-worker of a member.

One family is a co-worker/friend of my 21 year old.

One of my co-workers who was saved in Nov. has been a points leader.

Salvation ages 37, 30, 24, 21, 9, 7. It's been fantastic.

One of the young ladies has had one of those once in a lifetime experiences. She can't stop bubbling.

God is great!

Response: Amen. Really, we have just been being real. That's pretty simple. No big out of the box plan. It just seems to be a great time of harvest for us.

Two more co-workers on the verge of accepting the Lord today.

You all pray for us. Things are exciting.

Two young couples are getting married who had started families without doing so. I'm going to get to baptize another whole family.

We did it by the skin of our teeth!

102

We had over thirty regulars out but the new visitors brought visitors!

Another adult saved this week! Delivered from 15 years of drug use!

More hands raised to accept the Lord this morning!

Baptizing 8 so far on Friday night!
