Holy Ghost Rain

I don't have a lot of time since our VBS is tonight and we have had no time to fully prepare! But, I wanted to let you know about yesterday's wonderful events.

We had 2 brand new people and a wonderful service. At the close of my message, we had three people really seeking God. A couple that has been coming for about three weeks and a brand new lady. This couple has really been enjoying services and God really moved on them in a special way. He has a Pentecostal background and she has been Catholic. He was filled with the Holy Ghost today and she was very close. He was so excited when he left service! He couldn't quit crying. They are in their 50's. He also told us before he left that he has a CDL license and would love to help with the Bus Ministry! This is the couple that I talked about last weekend that wanted to pay their tithes here. It was beautiful to watch.

The other lady was deeply moved and said she would bring her children next week. She has 3 or so kids that weren't with her.

We left our service, drove through McDonalds, and headed to Bastrop about 45 minutes away for service at 2pm. I preached for Pastor Grady Chandler who was on vacation. We got there at 2:05pm since our altar service went so long! A young lady was refilled with the Holy Ghost who has been gone from church for many years. She had her body all marked up and pierced, but God received her back so beautifully. She is the former pastor's daughter and the church was so excited to see her back.

We left that service and drove the 45 minutes directly to Bro. Bernard's for choir practice at 4:30pm! They were "trying-out" a new music minister to possibly come and take over their music program, so we had to be there to help in this process since Karla has been the interim choir director. It was a great service! I saw at least one brand new person filled with the Holy Ghost there also.

Needless to say, we are all zonked. VBS is every night this week at our house, but we have 8 children from our neighbors who are supposed to be here! Keep praying for us. God is moving.

Mandy -
It was the former Pastor's daughter. The Chandler's (Mindy's family) are still pastoring there. I'm not sure of her name, but it's not Mindy's sister. Thanks for the comment.

Everyone -
It really was an awesome day and we had a great time at our Backyard VBS last night. I will post about it in the next couple days. Thanks for all the comments.
