A BBQ and an invite

God is amazing! A lady at church invited us to a BBQ. We didn’t realize that when she has a BBQ she invites her neighbors. From this one event six new people have come to church with most of them coming faithfully.

Another lady in Wal-Mart commented on how cute Sabrina is. As we were talking I invited her to church. Her family has been coming faithfully and they’ve invited friends. From that one invitation ten people have come to church.

From a BBQ and an invite we not only have sixteen new people, but they want to be involved. Two ladies want to become Sunday School teachers. One man is helping with the music. Another man is picking up people and taking them home.

God has truly blessed our efforts in “sin city.” We are still a small church with less than 50, but the church has only been here for less than 2 years. It wasn’t too long ago that we were sometimes the only ones at Bible Study, but now we normally have at least 10. Many people are coming to every service. A lot of people are getting involved in inviting people, Sunday School, picking up people, music, cleaning, and the many other aspects of church work. The church growth is amazing to watch.
