I have very exciting news to share with you. News that will feed your faith, encourage your heart, and I hope fill you with joy. Please allow me to brag on how good God has been through you…
1. Hundreds of us devoted Good Friday as a time to fast and pray. When I asked for your commitment and you committed, I was overwhelmed. Thank you for praying and fasting!
2. The Holy Spirit planted Bring Your Best in your heart. Our goal was $35,000. I am fired up to share that as of 4-15-09 God gave or pledged $39,172.82 through you! I am praying for you to see increase in your life (see 2 Corinthians 9:10,11). Thank you for giving your best!
3. God touched our hearts to get serious about the harvest of people. And God moved – 497 people attended on Easter and over 30 people gave their lives to Jesus. I have received many reports of lives being changed by Jesus. You invited them. You prayed for them. They came. And Jesus touched them! Thank you for being faithful!
4. You allowed the Holy Spirit to work through you as you served as an usher, a children’s worker, a greeter, a tech person, a singer, a band member, or a smiling face that warmly welcomed a guest. Thank you for serving in the power of the Holy Spirit to create an excellent environment!
This is the just the beginning. There are more people to reach. Let us continue being vessels that God is pleased to work through to accomplish His purpose. Yes, let us not stop, but let us continue!
I am so proud of you,
Jeff Powell
