Dead Giants

Quote of the Week:

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
~Vince Lombardi~

Wow is the only Thing I can say about killing the Giants week. It was an amazing week filled with lots of people trusting in God and going out in faith to see God use them. At the beginning of the week we as a Group set the Goal of sharing the Gospel with 5079 People!! It was a huge number that the staff team placed on the chest of an even larger wood and cardboard giant in the Gym of Ocean City Baptist Church where we all attend church. So we had a physical reminder of our Giant number. Well last night all the results were tallied. The stats were, Initiated Conversations[IC](people we asked to do are survey with and got to the survey with.), Gospel Conversations[GC] (people who heard the Gospel, Check last weeks blog to see what we shared), and People who accepted Christ (people who indicated a decision to trust there lives to Christ). So here are the results:

IC’s- over 11,000

GC- 5,094

People who put there faith in Jesus Christ- 203

PRAISE THE LORD!! All this in just one week!! God is sooooo Big. We defeated our Giant!! As of Saturday morning we had to have 1200 GC’s to reach our goal by 9pm Saturday which was the time we set it one week ago. So in less than 24 hours 1200 people heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is amazing just to look at the numbers in general, but to think that each number represents a mother, father, son, daughter, etc. it is just amazing to think of all the lives that were touched this week. And that Giant that the Staff spent so much time making was absolutely destroyed we broke it down last night after we found out we reached our goal. It was just a great physical representation of what we had gone through that week. We used a ladder as a battering ram to knock it over and my friend, Edmund’s face after he knocked it over was one of complete victory and triumph. It was such a long week, our theme for the week was “Spend and be Spent” I am having a hard time finding a point in life when I have been so exhausted as right now. Between Work and sharing and my new Nightwatchman job I am absolutely beat, and really ready just to sleep. God showed up in a big way in Ocean City, New Jersey this week. I cant wait to see what else he has in store for the rest of this summer. God is so amazing and really showed me how strong and perfect he is and that I just need to Rely on his Strength in my weakness and when I have strength to get through the day. I need to depend more on his strength and less on my own and that is just part of my process as a Christ follower is depending on him completely for all of my needs and God has yet again given me something to work on. Soooo this is my last blog til next week the internet is going to be shut down for the week to help build community. I hope all of you have a great week and Thanks for visiting and taking your time to read
Love ya!

In Him who Strengthens,
