Wow! What a two weeks! God has done amazing things through our team. We are seeing many come to know the Lord for the first time and many others believers strengthened. The response has been amazing; God has even surprised us many times with the direction he takes us in!
We spent the last week in South West Virginia. We began the week at the Pulaski High School. We had the honor of being able to attend the club day and we were able to speak and perform our street drama for the Christian club there. As Jeremy spoke with them about the love and sacrifice Jesus made many wept and around 8 of them dedicated their lives to Jesus; it was a beautiful time.
The next day we performed ‘Encounter’ for a Youth Group in Central Pulaski called the ‘The Rock’. We were told before that all kinds of kids come to the group; many of them are not Christians so we had high expectations that the Lord would do amazing things. Our time of ministry was powerful and many of the 85 young people who attended made commitments to Jesus.
On the Wednesday we performed at Dublin Baptist Church and many of the congregation approached us after wards and said it was the most powerful gospel presentation they had ever seen. One gentleman prayed with one of our team and he said he could not stop crying as God was healing his broken heart.
The next day we were back at Dublin Baptist to train the youth group in ‘Doors’; the youth picked up the drama quickly and they are already planning on taking it to the streets of their community!
The Friday was the 3rd year anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings. We met as a team in the morning for prayer and worship and to ask the Lord what he wanted us to do. He put on our hearts that we should go and worship and offer prayer and so we did. It was a beautiful time, many students prayed with us and we were honored to be able to worship God and encourage the students.
That evening we had our big Virginia show! This show had been advertised in all the local papers and Jeremy and Kandia (Kandia is a Pulaski native!) were excited to have many members of their family see the show! The show was at Pulaski Middle School. We prayed before that God would mess up our plans! That we would always expect Him to do new things and never just go through the motions. That evening Jeremy sensed the Lord wanted each person in the room to get to their knees; this simple act led us all (the team included) into a deep time of worship with the Lord, each person praying out loud to the Lord! The spirit of the Lord was so strong!
The Saturday was a rest day. Sunday some members of the team led worship at Pulaski Presbyterian Church. This was a special time for Kandia as her Dad (Matt Allen) is the worship leader.
On the Monday we went Virginia Beach and performed for a Boy and Girls club. It was great time and the audience was a great mixture of kids and adults; the worship time was one of the most intense of our tour so far! Many were shouting praises to God and many were on their knees being prayed for!
And that brings us to today...Tonight we are in Southport, NC at Shoreline Church. This is our only night in NC and we go to Florida tomorrow.
God has done great things and we expect even more! Many of us have sensed that God is telling us to “get ready” that he is going to do greater things that we ever expected.
Please pray for us! Our dream is for people to fall more in love with Jesus and it is also our prayer for ourselves.
Look out for video updates too!
