We have Lift Off!
"U.S.S.
Bridge Of Hope, this is NASA. Your launch was a success; you have cleared the launch pad & are on course.
Please proceed as planned. Over."
Launch Sunday was
filled with a mix of emotions and energy. There were
those of us that were awakened at 1:00 am, 2:30 am, 3:30
am and 4:30 am that felt the need to begin praying for
the day. We all felt that it was definitely God calling us to prayer. Other than Armond having
a bit of stress over technical difficulties, most
everyone was relaxed and full of positive excitement,
even joy for the long anticipated arrival of this day.
God came through
in a very big way. We had 58 first time visitors and a
total of 90 in attendance. There were hands lifted
in praise during the worship time, people singing loudly
along with the band and you could feel the Spirit of God
in that theatre! There were even teens from the youth
group that came at 7:30 am to help.
There were some
neat stories that came out of the morning. One teen's mother
came from Evansdale to take her home. She drove approximately 10 miles one way to
pull her daughter from our church. She had arrived at
the theatre and found her daughter and was going to take
her away when she stopped to get a drink of water. She then said that she heard a quiet voice say to her, "She's
thirsty... stay with her." The mother
realized that her daughter was seeking God's face &
that this could be the place that she finds Him. Not
only did she let her daughter stay with us, she stayed
as well & was blessed by God.
How awesome is
our Lord that he speaks to us early in the morning. And when
we are obedient to Him, He affirms our mission &
vision by delivering people unto Himself through us! Thanks
for praying!!!
