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

Well we are not quite at your stage in growth, but we set a record today, we had our highest total since our grand opening over 3 years ago.

We normally run about 35 on Sundays, we had 57 today with another 10 that didn't come for various reasons.

Thank God!

That's great, Keith! Hang in there and God will keep rewarding. When we pray, we call in the people from the North, the South, the East and the West - anyone that's destined to be a part of our church. I believe you get what you speak, if you pray according to His will.

Aha! So those 10 missing from Keith's church were probably at your church after that prayer!!!!!!

Keith, sounds like you have some good steady growth. That is the way it goes with most church planting. Then at various times you will take that next step and see growth to the next level.

A few years ago when my church had it's 50th pastoral anniversary the pastor talked about the church history and as late as the late 1970's CC was only running about 200 people.

The first half of my pastor's 50+ years of pastoring saw slow but steady incremental growth from a handful of people to that 200 then the last 25 years saw phenomenal growth.

Would y'all believe an ultra-con church would have 68 visitors yesterday morning?

300 new visitors in a month is fantastic Elder.

Any idea how many of them are coming back for for more?
