Our first outreach in Pflugerville was a success! Did we have anyone in service from it this morning? No. But, we planted seed. We had 10 people come at 10am on Saturday and we spent two hours going door to door. Just over 140 homes were contacted with information about our church! It was a success because we are doing what God commanded us to do - spread the good news.
Saturday afternoon, our family attended a live music event at Formosa Art Tea House (a Chinese Tea Room which is next to our church) at the invitation of the owner, Riva Yeh. This is the lady I have blogged about in the past. She has received the Holy Ghost and been baptized in Jesus' Name. I have been by her place at least twice a week since we have been here -trying to get her come be with us in service again! It was a neat little time. A girl, Amy Star, who is attending a worship leader college here in Austin played her guitar and sang worship choruses. Some she had written and some that were common. Her boyfriend was with her. So after it was over, we got to talking to them and found out that he is an Archer. His dad was a member of the Christian group, The Archer's, that was quite popular in the 80's! Karla used to go to their concerts in Dallas and was blown away to meet the son of Steve Archer! We are just trying to get around and meet people, spend time with them and build relationships. Now, Riva owes me one! I'll tell her this week......
This week has been Revival Services at New Life UPC, Austin and we attended on Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights! I blogged about Bro. Easter last week. We have had, as of this morning, 14 filled with Holy Ghost here in this one week! Tonight, I would guess, there were over 5. I am not sure of the exact amount. It has been so refreshing! Friday night we took a van over to the Revival Service with people from our church and had a great time of fellowship after service together. It was another "bonding" time with us and the church people.
We are planning to take them over next Sunday night for communion service. I think it would be good for our new ones to be a part of this special act of consecration.
Our first newspaper advertisement starts this week. We will be in the "Pflugerville Pflag" each Thursday for a while. Thanks to the donor that is paying for this outreach! We appreciate each form of support...Prayer, Finances, Words of Encouragement, etc.We will be going to Quitman this Friday to bring a Kid's Day to Keith and Carla's church. It is a Texas District Sunday School Project. We are excited to see what God will do and to also see friends and family. Help us pray! Bro. and Sis. Denny Ploch will be the evangelist.
Are you tired yet?
