CRUSADE
1. SETUP
The setup of our equipment was quite an ordeal, but we got her done! Special thanks to Charlie Zonko who lent us his Bobcat and Lull and his workers (Alan and crew--Diesel, John, Keith). Also thank you to those who helped here and there--Ed Banning, Mike Young and Jack, Richard Huston, Joe Williamson, Michael Disanto and Charity, Norman & Linda Short, Jimmy & Becky Tobat, Vaughn and Joanne Lewis, Dave Reed, Josh Kunde, Tyre & Donna, and the singers, pastors, bands etc, such as John Betts, Levin VanSant, Danny Barret and his Holly Grove Youth Band, Buddy Scott, Tom Pohlmand and Fishlocker Cafe, Jerry Jones, Stacy Johnson, Woody Woodhead, Greg & Denise Crothers and their Christ Evangelistic Church Praise Team, James Caldwell, Dan Southern, Dagsboro Lationo Band and Enrique Avalos, James & Joyce Warrington and Dover Miracle Revival Center, Sharon Hale, Dale Mast and Destiny Christian Church, Bill Primrose and others we want to add later. Also thank you to our helpers getting our mailing ready--Vera Primrose,
We spent three and a half days setting up the equipment, due to lack of volunteers helping. Next time dear friend please come help us! Being the first time to set up the poles without the tent, the first pole with its lights came crashing down, and all I could shout was Hallelujah and Thank You Jesus, because although I was disappointed at our first try, I was not discouraged. We have 1,000 chairs set out, great sound system, tent poles used as light poles--set up the right and safe way.
The first light pole going up
1,000 chairs laid out and waiting for you!
2. MINISTRY WEEK ONE
The Open Sky's are just awesome to worship under!
The attendance has not been what I wanted it to be. We had as little as 15 people and as many as 120 in a service during our week one attendance. I am praying for an increase of attendance, but I also praise God for what He has done. For example, 30 people have made a decision for Christ so far on the streets of Georgetown DE! This is glorious and our most wonderful testimony. Come join us Wednesday August 8 at 10 am and Saturday August 11 at 10am for a half hour soul winning training, and come feel the bliss of winning five, ten, or even 25 souls in one day for Christ!
The young man in this picture was only saved about a week, but he went out and won four souls for Jesus, and his girlfriend won four souls also!
Some friend of ours helped with praise and worship and special singing:
Buddy Scott
Jerry Jones
Danny Barrett and Holly Grove Youth Band
Joel Preaching the Word
Since last Sunday I have preached 10 messages (9 of them at the crusade). My voice is still strong and my energy levels and stamina doing fine--a wonderful thing, considering the tremendous hard work under the hot sun for three and a half days, with just three or four people helping at any one time.
Several healing miracles have already manifested in our midst, for example one man who was told that he would be deaf in a few years, and was severely hard hearing. After prayer he could hear a whisper!
COME JOIN US! THE CRUSADE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AUGUST 12 AND MAYBE EVEN FIVE DAYS LONGER! (To be announced...)
