Revival with Mike Major Refreshes San Jacinto

In May we held our first cafe type concert and named it The Coffee Pot (pot being short for Potter’s House). We had South Central and Banning help us labor and run our concert scene where we saw five visitors.

One disciple from our church gave his first altar call. This was our kick-off for revival with Pastor Mike Major where he started something “major” in our church. First thing Sunday morning he did our Sunday School where we already began to be refreshed. That week we saw God move and we were stirred into getting more involved and were pushed to press forward in telling the lost about Jesus no matter where we are.

A lady in our church had been healed of cancer last year; her sister had a friend who was sick. Instead of taking her friend to her own church, she wanted to take her to our church (which she called “the church of miracles”) to be healed. Sure enough we saw a miracle take place in this woman.

We recently started doing prayer walks on Mondays where we walk up and down the streets of where we will be outreaching that week. This has helped us establish dominion over our God-given territory. One outreach we did, we set up at a park and did a mini concert where there were people in the midst of us. There was a drug dealer going in and out of the bathroom doing sales. After the altar call, he responded and gave his life to Jesus!

This summer we hosted our Summer Movie Nights every other Friday night in an open field outside our church, where it is exposed to a main street and various shopping centers. We showed average children’s movies and related the movie to Christ at the end. We set up 10 different signs throughout the city to advertise for them. Almost every day for the first two or three weeks there were phone calls and phones calls of people calling regarding the movie.

The first night we saw 27 visitors and three people respond with six visitors the Sunday after. The second, we saw 42 visitors and 12 respond with three visitors the Sunday after.

That night in the middle of the movie a police officer pulled up and got out of his car. To our surprise he was asking what we were doing just out of curiousity and was interested. The third, we saw eight visitors and two respond as well as a family who came to the previous movie. The fourth and final movie we saw 23 visitors and seven saved. These movie nights have helped to further advertise the church’s location and have reached out towards families.

Please continue to pray for the city of San Jacinto.
