Strength Team in Sandusky - Pics, Awesome!!

ManOfWord · #1 09-30-2009, 09:03 PM

We just began the Strength Team Crusade tonight. We had 2 programs at the jail for both the male and female population. I am chaplain for the Sheriff's Office. About 40 inmates responded to the altar call...a number of them in tears.

We had about 40 people respond to the evening service as well. We will have a baptismal service on Sunday night. The Strength Team will be with us every night through Sunday night and in schools during the day. These guys have BIG arms and huge hearts for the Lord.

They bent steel bars, ripped 2 phone books taped together, smashed bricks, unbent horseshoes, busted boards etc. THEN preached an awesome repentance message! I'll post more pics when I get them.

And what do worldly antics like this have to do with the Great Commission?

God can use anything he used a donkey.

Good point. Because the guy on the donkey didn't want to cooperate.

He apparently is still using Donkeys in the affairs of men. Every time I listen to a press conference I hear dumb donkeys speaking!

LOL! I think I hear the same ones you do!

Yes, they do tear phone books in half. In fact, they duct taped two phone books together and tore them in half...absolutely no pre-scoring either. They also rolled up frying pans like burritos!

I think we had 30 people respond to the altar call tonight. Having a baptismal service tomorrow night!

It's the classic bait and switch!

It's kinda' like attracting visitors with your church choir and music program. Once they're comfortably in the pew the hog butchering begins.

I consider myself to be somewhat conservative-- and I really try to be tolerant of a lot of things that get posted here no matter which side of the fence the poster seems to be on...but sometimes it never ceases to amaze me how critical some people are.

Does it matter what method God uses to draw someone to repentance? God can use anything or anyone to reach the lost--he's looking for willing vessels that want to be used.

It's no different than using a puppet ministry to reach kids..... Reach people on a level that they will respond to.
