Update on No Ordinary Weekend

This past weekend we were involved in an evangelistic retreat. Attendees received ten hours of Bible instruction, going from Creation to the Cross, exploring God’s plan of salvation and how Jesus fulfilled that plan. This was all done in an objective, non arm-twisting way, simply laying out what the Scriptures say. During the teaching everyone went through GoodSeed’s new booklets in the No Ordinary Story series, where they read hundreds of Bible verses explained in context.

There were 77 adults and teens and 25 children aged 6-11 who were there for these Gospel presentations. Around half of the adults in attendance were not believers, many having never been to church before. We are still in the process of collecting feedback from various sources, though we know that a number of lives were eternally changed over the weekend. One young woman who was purchasing a Bible told me that the weekend was “life-changing!” Another gentleman talked to Naomi and repeatedly exclaimed his appreciation and said it has really helped him understand the Bible.

Naomi assisted in the reading of the material being taught, Troy helped with sound and tech, Ellie attended the seminar with a friend who had been invited, Adelaine helped in the nursery, and Ethan was a helper with the children’s program. It was a very busy two and a half days!
