Greetings from the harvest field of Jacksonville, Florida.
We are truly grateful for God’s abundant grace upon our church. In August we had the privilege of seeing our first “grandbaby” works launched out of the Chandler Bible Conference.
Two great couples were launched out, one into the “South side” of Jacksonville, and another couple to Ocala, FL. Please pray for them as we believe God to use them to reach those areas for Jesus.
We are also grateful for Evangelist Dennis Wright, Pastor Bob Alvarez and Pastor Mark Aulson who have made time to come and minister timely messages to us.
In the last few months, we have seen a wave of new converts come in and get touched by the power of God. Through concerts, outreaches, street preaching and the saints reaching out to co-workers and neighbors, we’ve had more than 250 people get saved.
Our concert scene “The Arena” has been a powerful tool that God has used to reach people in our city. In October, as our Halloween draw, we had The Pirates of the Caribbean play. In the first two nights we had to turn away 500 people because we simply could not fit everyone in the building.
We did the play three nights, where well over 1,800 people heard the gospel preached, with 92 people giving their lives to Jesus.
Many of these new converts have been faithfully coming out to our church services after the play was over.
The play was such a hit with our community that we are bringing it back by popular demand for another showing the weekend after Thanksgiving. We will be following that with a revival with Pastor Brad Campbell.
I also would like to take this opportunity to let our pastor, Pastor Meyer and his family, know that we are very thankful for them. They have labored and sowed the Gospel seed in Jacksonville for the past 22 years. They are a tremendous example of Godly people who simply love God. Pastor reminded the congregation, that this church has 22 years of seed in the ground; God will help us bring the increase. I believe we are gathering that harvest today. We are involved in the greatest work in planet earth, reaching people for Jesus!
Thank you, Pastor Campbell and the Chandler Church as well as Pastor Mitchell and the Prescott church for your steadfast example. We look forward to what God will continue to do in the months ahead.
