A brief story from NewSpring Church, Columbia Campus...two guys came to church Friday night and got saved. That's not unusual at NewSpring BUT these guys saw a bunch of policemen and thought it was a police checkpoint. (The police were actually just directing traffic because of the crowds at the church.)
So these two guys wanted desperately to avoid a checkpoint and turned into the parking lot of a place they could tell people were going to something. They didn't know it was a church or church service. Then the NewSpring parkers parked their car, the greeters welcomed them, and they were invited into the church to have a seat. They sat on the back row but stayed for the entire service and heard Perry preach a powerful gospel message. At the end of the service he asked people to pray to receive Christ and then stand to their feet if they had done that. Both these guys stood up because Jesus was at work in their hearts.
And by the way, they are not even from Columbia; they never heard of NewSpring. In fact they are not even from South Carolina. These men were on the road from Texas. Praise God for His amazing grace!
Haven't heard a total number of salvations this Easter but through Friday there were over 100. Greenville had its first two services yesterday, Saturday, and more that 30 people gave their lives to Jesus.
I thank God for bringing me to this church and allowing me to be part of what He is doing through NewSpring in South Carolina and beyond through our web services. Now to head back to Greenville for 3 more services on this beautiful Easter Sunday morning. He's alive! Hallelujah! Amen!
