We are going off TV!
It was a very difficult decision. Is it conviction from reading AFF TV threads?????
Sorry, but no. We have been on TV for three years now and the results have been amazing and have definitely brought many people to our church, resulting in several salvations and changed lives.
BUT (and that's a very big but)....on the second Sunday of October, we are launching our first Sunday services in Savannah, where we have only had Thursday night Bible studies. It will be a video venue, with a live band and a campus pastor, but Eddie will preach via big screen. It will not be a live feed, but a week delay. Since that area is reached by our TV show, we didn't feel it would be advantageous to ask people to come to an 11 AM service with video preaching when they can sit at home and see it at 10:30 in their underwear. So, we are cancelling it for now.
Also, it will save the ministry about a thousand dollars per week, which will come in handy in other areas for now. Has TV been successful for us? Absolutetly!!! But it's not the answer for everything. God will continue to bless and hopefully all those people that we've met in Jackson who tell us they watch Eddie every week will now feel the need to venture out and visit the church in person!
