Update: GPS Door Hanger Day

This update is from Pastor Ed Coleman:

This past Saturday on Door Hanger Day we had 16 church members participate. We all had favorable reception from those that we witness to, and one observation is that a young man called my house and asked did our church pray for deliverance from alcohol and would it be O.K. to bring his wife to church on Easter Sunday.


What a blessing!

Update---GPS Door Hanger Day

This update comes from Pastor Mike Lacaze:

For Woodward Park it went really well. We had probably 55 people participate in handing out 1250 door hangers. Our people were able to talk to neighbors in the community who were outside, so there were some personal invitations to Easter weekend but it appears there wasn’t any clear Gospel presentation.

GPS Update from Jewels Community Church, Clovis

This update comes from Pastor Joshua Smith:

Jewels members did the prayer-walk this past Saturday and will do the outreach and evangelism saturation on the 27th. The prayer-walk went well, and during the event we got a chance to talk and witness to several people. We had positive responses from those we communicated with. I told one family that we were on their street to pray for them, and they said “Great!”


Blessings!

GPS Update from Sierra Baptist Church, Visalia

This update comes from Lee Yarbrough, MV GPS Coordinator and Church Encourager:

Good Morning:

Today is March 23rd the "I Found it Here" Commercials are airing this week, and our churches have completed their prayer walking by now.  Here is our prayer walking report:

On Saturday 3-20-2010 we had 30 people gather at Sierra Baptist Church in Visilia . We had 6 teams of prayer walkers, each team was given a map of 500 homes that were with in a one mile radius of our Church. We gave each team three hours to cover their areas, then returned to the church for debriefing.

The results was fanatic our people had all kinds of experiences during their Walk. One man said he feflt the presence of the holy spirit as he prayed for houses and people that he met. One of our ladies had the privileged of sharing Jesus. Others prayed for people who they met that had specif needs. The spirit of our people was great as we left and it flowed over into Sunday morning as we invited others to come and help us had out the packets on the 27th.

I am praying for you and your congregation as you prepare for Saturday March 27th .

May God bless you in all that you do.

GPS Update from Baptist Temple, Fresno

This update comes from Pastor Tom Sims:

Our three (actually 4 when we separate out The Edge) churches participated.

We an amazing crowd. We began at 8:00 A.M. with breakfast and prayer together. We even had a guest join us from off the street who wanted a Bible and was delighted to also receive breakfast and prayer.

We had 5000 bags to stuff with 5 pieces in each bag, so some went out on prayer walks and some stayed back to form an assembly line. It was so encouraging to see everyone working and praying together with energy, enthusiasm, and cooperative joy!

I suppose there were 40-50 people. Lots of miles were walked. We covered from Shaw to Clinton (north/south) and from Blackstone to Millbrook (west/east). Some groups focused on each business, others did houses and neighborhoods and schools.

I have confidence that we will be able to get the word out this Saturday within about 3 hours. It will be an amazing feat, but I had no idea we would get all of last Saturdays tasks done in one morning. God is very good!
