I was very pleased with the way things went tonight. We have the names and info of ten people who prayed to receive Christ at the dinner tables in the gym and many more heard a full gospel presentation. Dinner guests were given printed invitations to the three local churches that worship at Farrington Mission as well as the regular weekly ministries. Countless stories of divine appointments are surfacing. On top of all that we fed about 500 people a hot meal for Thanksgiving. NEHBCers were everywhere loving people unlike them and serving dinner guests any way they could. A bunch of our teenagers were there directly engaging dinner guests. I thought the logistics ran much better than last year; the excellence level was certainly better. What a great night for the Kingdom of God. Glory to God. I'm proud of you, NEHBC.
To be sure, I was hoping we'd have many more dinner guests. We had less than last year. But, I'm confident it can be easily remedied in 2011. In 2009, we had a team blitzing the neighborhood during the event reminding folks the event was taking place. Next year, that team will be back.
Kudos to the team leaders for the prayer team, welcome team, cook team, food service team, and evangelism team. Kudos to the men and women who took a day's vacation yesterday or today to help set up for the event. Kudos to the prayer team who literally prayed us through the event for two hours straight. Kudos to the NEHBC police officer who showed up in uniform to protect the cars of NEHBCers during the event. His ministry was as valuable as any other. What a great night.
