Revival update
We’ve had 2 great nights at Alum Springs Baptist Church in Culpeper, VA. I’m so honored to be a part of a church trying to do something different. As Einstein said, insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results. So hats off to Alum Springs for trying something different during their revival this year.
What’s different? Instead of just having three nights of church services as usual with a guest speaker, they asked me to come in and speak practically about the whys of sharing our faith with others and then do some very basic training on how they can do that. The people who have attended have been extremely willing to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. We’ve talked about who we’re looking at (ourselves, religion, or the lost) and whether or not we’re visible to the hurting around us. Methods we’ve explored for sharing our faith have been the J-Turn and the One-Verse method. Both are very simple and natural ways of having “normal” conversations about Christ.
It all wraps up tonight and I expect God to continue the work in Culpeper when I leave tomorrow. He loves to do new things in old places through willing hearts!
Paul! Glad to hear the revival went well! I’m sure amazing things are going to flow out of that church and it’s members! Tell Wendy I said hello!
