Well, its honestly been all God and His grace. We had never started a church from scratch before. But I will say this....Eddie is an amazing teacher and preacher and the TV show has drawn a ton of people.

They saw this rapid growth once they introduced their "tithe rebate" program. They, of course, preach the biblically correct 10% but then ofer a 3% rebate back at the end of the year.
You should have seen those baptist folks abandoning their churches to experience a little "Love & Truth"

He's one of our miracles from last year, whose life was just totally turned upside down by God! I love it!

Congrats.
