Greetings from the harvest field of Newport News, Virginia. Our city is in the hand of God as we have been experiencing great revival in our church. Visitors have been flooding in through our doors and we have seen a tremendous influx of new converts.
Prayers for family members’ salvation are getting answered and we had 16 people get baptized during our last baptism!
Our outreach efforts have been effective as well. In the month of October, our Saturday night concert, “The Extreme,” was held on Halloween night. We took advantage of the opportunity and had a pirate themed costume party with live music and a three part live action play based on The Pirates of the Caribbean, “Dead Man’s Chest,” and gave out candy bags to all the children. We had numerous visitors in attendance and two souls answered the altar call.
The week before Thanksgiving we had Evangelist Dave Eccles for revival. With sermons tailor made for our church, he ministered to the hearts of sinners and saints alike! He prayed for the sick and those with abnormal bodily pains, gave individual timely words to people and prayed for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
God is doing great things in Newport News, Virginia and we look forward to an even greater year for 2016. 13 Newport News, VA church put for Halloween outreach Pray for us as we continue to pray for you!
