What a great day for the Kingdom and a great day for Englewood! There's always something special about an outreach day and this one was was no different. Our annual Back to School Outreach was a great success. In large part because of the nearly 50 volunteers who arrived early and stayed 'til the end. Thank you for all you do in helping us reach souls for the Kingdom. Your faithfulness and dedication to God is always inspiring to me and many others. We have a church filled with Barnabas'. May God richly bless all of you.
On outreach days, we try to do church in a relevent, creative and practical way. Everything is pre-planned and organized to help draw the unchurched and the unsaved to Christ (I'll talk about our illustrated message later this week). This year was no different, and what success the Lord allowed us to share in! We had 74 salvation cards turned in (who knows how many raised their hands to accept Christ, but didn't come forward). The entire front of the church was filled with those surrendering their hearts to Christ.
We were also able to give out 200+ backsacks filled with school supplies with our church logo displayed on the outside which were a big hit with the children. All of our invited guests received lunch (hotdog, chips, and drink) along with snow cones. Because of the heat, this may have been the most popluar item. I thank God for a church that allows us "to go into all the world and preach the Gospel." Let's keep winning souls for the Kingdom!
