We were so blessed to have Zach, Geri & young Zach Smith as our guests this weekend. We enjoyed a street evangelism outreach and three wonderful worship services together.
On Saturday morning 17 Christians from 4 different churches went out street witnessing and were so very blessed to pray with 114 people as they invited Jesus into their hearts!
Saturday night we had a great harvest party/concert with Zach & Geri Smith, Mike Corey and a few great freinds from Orlando and Port St. Lucie! The Lord was present in such a rich and genuine way.
Brother Zach brought a great word on Sunday morning and led us in another anointed time of worship Sunday evening. All who were present were mega-blessed and refreshed!
Monday morning we brought a team into the Alliance Retirement Home where the Precious Hearts children's dance team ministered and little Danny Guldan gave a priceless testimony ! He said, "I'm 9 years old. I received Jesus when I was 3 and the last 6 years have been the best years of my life" :-) .... we rejoiced with 11 seniors as they prayed and invited Jesus into their hearts !
Monday night we brought a team of 6 Christians from 3 different churches into The Serenity House and ministered with worship, testimonies and a gospel message to 16 men in treatment. 3 of the men stood and sincerely prayed for Jesus to come into their hearts!
While we were in Serenity House, Leslie Steinmann went out street witnessing and led another 4 individuals in the prayer of salvation !
In three days time we enjoyed three outreaches and three anointed worship services which resulted in 132 people praying to invite Jesus into their hearts! All Glory to God for His awesome love and saving grace!
Thank you for your prayers ... they mean so very much!

Our outreach to The Serenity House (in-house drug & alcohol treatment) Monday night (June 1st) was truly blessed. A friend named Lee Gray (from Via de Cristo) shared how the Lord broke him free from a heroin addiction three years ago and his friend Dennis led in some great worship. We had six men in attendence... they all got a lot out of the meeting. I shared a short gospel message and as soon as I began to start to give the invitation about 35 guys walked in to get ready for an A.A. meeting that was to take place after ours. The Holy Spirit was present in such a strong way, not one of those men made a peep. There was a holy hush over the place; I continued to give the invitation to receive Christ and 8 men raised their hands, stood and prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior... 7 of the 8 men were among the 35 or so that walked in the last 10 minutes of the meeting! It was really something! I know it was the prayers of God's people that made that happen! |
