What a Day

Category: Freedom Church

Today we took a big step in the right direction as we began the journey that is Freedom Church! 

We had a great crowd (225), several church planters, and everything went very smoothly.  There were probably 50 people that were either friends from out of town, family, or church planters from across the region - so to have 175 solid from the city was a great start. 

2 people accepted Christ and I was pumped to hear the great feedback and the buzz that generated from everything that happened today.  It’s just day 1…so I am going to celebrate a little today - and get back to work in the morning!

    Congrats, bro! I knew God was going to do something awesome. Keep at it and continue to move forward. Even if you guys take a dip next Sunday, you are off to a great start and can still continue to grow from here on.

    Congratulations of such a great start. It was great that you had two people accept Christ on the first day. What a great start.
    Praise the Lord.

    It was good to finally start the process. We have a long way to go, but it was a great start.

    Thanks for all the prayer! Keep it coming!
