So, as part of our follow up strategy from Easter weekend, we had our "I Once Was Blind" board back out in the lobby at the connection desk this weekend at both campuses, and made an announcement from stage to anyone from last week who signed it and yet didn't get a "Faith Line" packet.
Basically, what we were saying was, "Hey, if you made a decision for Christ last week and we don't know about it or didn't get you a packet, come grab one so we can get to know you and get you connected."
I mean, we handed out 20 packets on Easter across both of our campuses. That's twenty people in the kingdom that weren't there before. We didn't expect many more to surface. Maybe a few stragglers.
Boy, were were wrong.
We ran out of faith line packets this past weekend at Cedar Falls.
We had like 100 packets.
That's somewhere around 100 people.
100 people!
Can you believe that?
God, make our eyes of faith, our hearts to invite, and our expectations all bigger.
And forgive us for our small prayers, our small dreams, and our small courage.
You are amazing.

unbelievable. I have told people that Easter weekend was the most powerful worship experience I have ever been a part of. Seeing that many people come to know Christ was truly humbling. Our God is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThat is GREAT! It is inspiring to watch how God moves. The church body rejoices with when just one person changes their life. How much more when many people are changed! Thanks for posting this, It really made my day.
