God did something big!

This past weekend, Jana and I drove to Winfield, Kansas, where I was asked to speak for a youth rally. We have been praying about this event since the first of June. It was good to reconnect with Brandon and Sarah Jellings of Millington Street Baptist Church (Pastor K.B. Murray), and their young people on Saturday night. They had rented out the town's recreation center (a very nice venue), had inflatables and shaved ice and nachos and pizza....all the makings of a good teen event. There was a great group of young people who came from Friendship Baptist Church in Owasso, OK to provide music and media - and they did a great job! When it was over, the Millington Street youth group had 67 first time visitors, and 15 of them responded to the invitation to accept Christ as Savior! The good people of Millington Street Baptist did a good job of counseling with all the young people who came. God really did something big!

On a funny note, while some of the kids were still being dealt with, I was walking around, talking to some of those who had already made decisions. A couple of boys walked by me from the direction of where some of them had gone to be dealt with, and so I asked on of them, "Did you make a decision tonight?" He replied, "The only decision I made was to go to the bathroom!"

We also enjoyed the church service Sunday morning. This church is feeding BBC with some fine young people, some of them future missionaries! Mind you this is not a megachurch, but a good church in a small town, and yet God is doing something BIG there!

I love being in the ministry! Especially when you get to have a part in something big!
