20 First Time Visitors at our EGG HUNT!!!!

WEEEEEHAAWWWWWW!!!!!!!

We had 20 first time visitors at our egg hunt this afternoon!!! We had more visiors than we had our own people. I am soooooooo excited!!!!

We also have a couple that we have been working with for about a year that is planning on being there in the morning. Their little boy comes with us from time to time. He loves it, and his dad came out and asked what time church started in the morning as I dropped his son and mine off at their house this evening. I told him 10:00 and he said they would see us in the morning and they would bring John Robert. YEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!

Also, there is a man that my husband has been "working" with. He works on our horses. John has talked to him quite a bit lately, but not nothing really about church or God, just befriending him. He's gone through a divorce this last year and it's been kinda tough for him. We had him over for supper Friday night and tonight he called and wanted John to bring over our oldest boy so he could ride a colt that had never been ridden and as they were leaving John said, "Hey, Olin, if you don't have anything better to do tomorrow, why don't you come on out to church with us. We're having dinner after church and everything, we'd really like to have you." Olin said, "Well, I was just getting ready to ask for directions, already planned on being there, just didn't know how to get there."

I am so excited, I can hardly stand myself. That's why I am up this late seeing that I have to be up by 7:00 to finish (actually, start) my dressing and two cakes. I already have 5 hams on to cook in the roasters, so at least that's started.

So pray that we have a MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD in the morning.

Will keep ya posted!!!!

Re: 20 First Time Visitors at our EGG HUNT!!!!

I was pleased to have received a text message from my pastor's wife stating she hoped to see me in the morning, as I haven't been there in almost a month. I told her I'd be there and she said she was looking forward to seeing me. Made my day.

Just a question but dont you think Easter Eggs are a little charismatic?

Also What good is it to get them to come to an Easter Egg Hunt? Do you think they will ever join the congregation?

The Olin story kind of brought tears to my eyes. Olin might not jump in immediately but I pray his heart is touched (along with all others) in your Easter service.

That's awesome! You just never know how breakthrough will come to a church! I pray that you have a packed house this morning. Easter is such a great time to reap souls - everyone is thinking about spiritual things at this time of year.

Didn't you know that hunting eggs is a condition to salvation?
