Greetings from the Church in Chandler, Arizona. God is pouring out his spirit in our city!
Since our August International Conference, we have continued the spiritual momentum in our city. In September, we launched our second work into China and launched a couple to take the church in Houston, Texas.
In October, we had a Holy Ghost revival with Pastor Steve Bowman. Each service had a message of hope and encouragement. We were stirred as we were reminded that “The key to victory is God’s Spirit” and “God’s anointing can break anything.” By the end of the week, we were left with a challenge to make our lives count by not living 5 for ourselves, but by living wholeheartedly for God. During the revival, many people surrendered their hearts to Jesus and many people were healed.
We finished off October with a play production, “The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Fountain of Youth.” The congregation put many hours into practicing, building the set, and advertising for the play. In addition, we prayed and fasted for God’s anointing over the play. We had more than 500 people in attendance! People were blown away by the choreography, the music, and the action packed scenes. But most of all, visitors heard the Gospel and 25 people gave their lives to Jesus!
Since we had a great number of new converts from our evangelism events, we held a water baptism service night. More than 30 people signed up to be baptized! People from different backgrounds, some were bound by drugs, alcohol, immorality, or by suicidal thoughts. Others were church kids who live a prodigal lifestyle. One thing they all had in common is that Jesus changed them and they did not want to go back to their old ways.
The Church was encouraged to continue to reach out to the lost and to continue to pray for our backslidden love ones.
We have our eyes set on winning our city, state, nation, and the world for Jesus. Please pray for us as we continue to labor for souls.
