More Happenings...

Today was a great day in the House of the Lord! Once again, we broke our record - by one! We had 63 in service today. We had a new family with us and they were definitely touched by God. We also had one of the families from last week back with us. There was a special momentum to the service today and we broke through in worship. I don't really know how to explain it... but it is great. We are having to move people around during service to get late-comers a seat. The plans are coming together for our next location. It looks like we will be having our Sunday services in a new place and keeping our current location for events during the week. I will let you know when it is all finalized!


I used a video to begin my message today. It was a short patriotic recording about the battle of Iwo Jima. It talked about 25,851 American soldiers who were casualties of this battle and the freedom they secured for our great country. My message reminded us that "Freedom is Not Free." All of these lives sacrificed on Iwo Jima could not bring true freedom to my soul. There was ONE spotless Lamb on a cross that set my soul free! This freedom is available for all of mankind! There were many tears shed in thanksgiving for Jesus' sacrifice.

Everyday this week is "Around the Clock" Prayer. The saints have signed up for hour-long prayer times. We almost covered every hour! We are praying for the next step and for our upcoming Revival with Evangelist Greg Henry. We are also fasting a day of our choice this week. It is our desire to see many new souls experience this great salvation.

I love all of these "happenings!" We can understand your breakthrough in worship. We had a good one yesterday also.

Great minds must think alike. Keith called for a prayer and fast chain this week, too. It's humbling to our physical nature, but we love watching the results that come about!

You are so blessed to be having Bro. Greg Henry come! He's been at our church (Hollister) several times and it's always been AWESOME! He's one of my favorite evangelists. Once when he came, God used him in a special way to minister to my two boys about their future. I'll never forget it and I'm sure they won't either. God bless you! "Thank You, God, for blessing this church!"
