60 Decisions for Christ in Salem

Our pastor challenged the men to look at our city, and begin to plan outreaches as we looked forward to the summer.

In May one of the men put a float with a band in the Iris Festival parade. We handed out lots of fliers and preached to thousands. That night we had a concert in a city park. At the concert people were saved and healed. The highlight of the concert was a young man who rededicated his life and has been coming ever since. God is doing a great work in his formerly broken marriage.

Another brother after coming back from the Prescott conference took on the challenge of putting on a tent healing crusade in our parking lot. Pastor Jon Gash from Vancouver, Washington preached. We had souls saved with God healing multiple people during the event. This took the help of the leadership church in Mcminnville, Oregon and several area churches laboring together. As a church the crusade galvanized us together afresh causing us all young and old to work together.

This led to our downtown street outreach setting up a small tent and doing a mini-healing crusade with many people being saved, healed, and delivered. Many people have prayed for salvation and healing.

In the past six months on this outreach alone we have seen more than 80 people pray on this outreach. One young man has been coming out to church from this outreach. He was hooked on drugs, and now he is hooked on telling people about Jesus! Also this summer we have done street preaching and door to door outreaching almost every Saturday. Almost every outreach we have seen people make decisions for Christ.

In October for Halloween we did a Haunted House experience with a drama play. The play was from a episode of The Twilight Zone called the Obsolete Man. We had about 230 visitors with about 60 decisions for Christ.

There is an excitement in the Salem, Oregon church. We can’t wait to see what God will do next in our city. We are thankful for the leadership that we have in our Fellowship.

Pray for us as we strive to see God fulfill His promises in our church.
