IMPACT!!!

IMPACT! That is what happened in North Myrtle Beach this past week. Man... Jesus is the real deal and His name is being made famous in our city.

I am totally convinced that when we invite people to meet Jesus and we do our best to present who He is... that God does His part and draws people to Himself. He is at work all the time.

I believe the church... that's All God's people... are advertising agents for God. When we gather together and do our best to present the gospel in a creative and compelling way, people meet Jesus. BOTTOM LINE!

I saw so many using their gifts this past week. We had 50 - 70 volunteers each night at our Team Impact event. Five nights in a row people showed up, gave, and served with a no bars hold approach. The results... We saw 183 people commit to following Jesus and 79 of those went public with their faith by being baptized. WOW! That's advancing the Kingdom of God. I believe that is what the local church is called to do. Check out Matthew 13. I will be teaching from this passage in three weeks and I can't wait. It is going to be off the chain... This topic is one of my greatest passions.
