Road Team Training Begins

We are excited about this upcoming year of ministry for our local church teams. The new team members have been arriving, and training is beginning as we gear up for our next travel season the first of September.

God has opened the doors for us to minister in over 55 churches this year. We are always amazed at the response in each church. In fact, more than 70% of the people at each church return night after night.

We're also humbled at the depth of God's work in individuals' lives. We see everything from salvation received to marriages restored, bitterness released, and forgiveness extended.

• Fifteen days ago, God found me a very angry and bitter man. I was so consumed by my own selfish pride that I could not see the turmoil I was causing in my household and the destruction that was wrecking my marriage. I was praying for God to change my wife's heart, when all along He needed to change mine. God revealed to me that I need to be the spiritual head of my household. I need to continue to lead my family through family devotions and Bible studies and sharing together. I am committed to giving God the best of my day through a restored Holy Hour. I am truly thankful that God has helped me restore my first love and has restored to me the joy of my salvation.
• The last sixteen days have been a roller coaster of emotions. I knew there were things that weren't right in my spiritual life. Most of those have been brought to the surface, and I have had to confront and deal with issues (sins) that I needed to put in God's hands and ask Him and others to forgive me. I also was very convicted about my job and the lies I was asked to report about inventory and falsifying records (at my company's request). Last Tuesday I put this into God's hands. This past Thursday I was terminated by that company. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now I'm seeking God's direction of where He wants me to be. I never want to be out of His will again.
• Sixteen days ago I was a 20-plus year minister who was angry at God and had placed my service for Him above my love for Him. I am in a time of transition from a children's minister to a public school teacher, and the transition has gone on longer than I planned. I have a wife and four children, and I've realized these past weeks that when I am squeezed, anger is what comes out instead of God's love. I now have returned to God as my first love and am beginning to restore the relationships in my family. Our family has a long way to go, but my wife and I are committed to restoring the godly family we once were. Thank you.

We realize that life change does not come in a truck or a program. Only the presence of God's Spirit changes lives. Would you join us in praying for our road teams as we launch our 41st year of ministry? Please ask God for safety, responsive hearts to His speaking, and radically transformed lives in each location.
