Great Weekend!!!

It's been over a week since I blogged...but I have been really busy. I wanted to make sure that I shared with everyone the amazing weekend that I had last weekend and all that God did!!

Last weekend was our annual Children's Revival/Family Crusade. It is always a busy time and can be somewhat stressful preparing for it, but ALWAYS worth it!!

Once again, Mike & Vickie Oliver were our evangelists and they are always such a blessing. They are a wonderful example of a couple who are completely committed to the work of the Lord....for the children!! Friday night we had over 250 in attendance and it was awesome to look across the sanctuary and see children from different walks of life all there for the same reason....to worship God and feel His presence and His love. We brought in over 40 children from the area trailer park and apartments who had never been in a service of this kind. I believe that a seed was planted that will continually be watered over time and these children will become mighty in the work of the Lord.

In both services (Friday pm/Sunday am), we were blessed by the ministry of Explosion of Praise which is our children's sign language team, Rock-n-Soul Puppet Team and the children's choir, The King's Kids...which I am proud and blessed to be the director of.

I am so proud of our kids...they were very sensitive to the presence of God and they let Him use them in ministry.

Sunday morning while the kids were singing, the anointing fell and out of 21 kids......I only had about 5 who could sing....the rest were speaking in tongues and worshiping. It was the most amazing thing!! At that point you just throw out the schedule and agenda. It didn't matter what was scheduled next. God showed up and He was going to do a work in His time!!

The children and the entire church worshipped and prayed for close to an hour. The end result......a great weekend with several baptized, 28 filled with the Holy Ghost and the touch of God placed on so many!!

I truly believe that God is about to do great things through the Children's Ministry of The Turning Point and I am so excited to be on the front line of it all.

I encourage you....if you don't have a home church and you are looking for something....Please come visit us. You will be welcomed with open arms and smiling faces and a God who loves you.
