Power Team

Tonight the Power Team came to visit our community. Actually they will be here for five nights, but tonight was the first. If you don't know anything about the Power Team check out their website http://www.thepowerteam.com/. They are incredible and bring a wonderful message in a way that captures the attention of the youth.

We started working to raise money to bring them here, gosh, months ago. Several of the local churches did fund raisers and some of the businesses donated too. I was a little disappointed to see that we didn't totally fill the high school auditorium on the first night. But boy howdy, I was NOT disappointed by the end of the altar call. Guys, over 100 people came forward. That is AMAZING in a town this size. Most of them were teens and that is almost half of our high school enrollment. Can you imagine the change this can make in this town and in our schools? Some of the people were older though. I even took down contact information from a lady that was about seventy years old. I am so happy that she found the Lord! I couldn't stop crying. And smiling. And crying some more. And smiling some more. I was all teeth and tears.

The 'show' started out with stack after stack of wood being lit on fire after they were doused with some type of fuel. Now remember this was in the high school. My husband is the high school principal and gave them permission to have the rally there. People, you should have seen that man's face! I thought he was going to have an aneurysm on the spot! I can just see visions of the school burning down dancing in his head. But things went fine. They broke all the wood, nobody caught on fire and everybody was happy. Of course Dave had to go to the men's room shortly there after and I am convinced it's because he almost messed his britches!!!

As I said earlier the Power Team will be here through Sunday so pray that God continues to move in the hearts of the people in our town. I am helping sell stuff, usher during offering and with the Altar call. It will be a busy week, but well worth every second!!!

Side Note: The Power Team visited our elementary school earlier today and Brookie is now crushing on a 21 year old man with muscles bigger than she is! What am I going to do with that child?
