Sunday we went to church. There were about 245 people there. Thirty five had been filled with the Holy Spirit the night before. Seven were saved in the morning service. The church had just finished 30 days of fasting.
A guest evangelist spoke and took up an offering for the churches uncompleted building project. They received over pledges for somewhere around $100,000 that was committed to be given before June! Not a huge church. In a poor country. The minister said that sometimes we give cheerfully, but sometimes we give tearfully, and God need both. Eight people pledged $2 million E.G. Franks ($2,000). All pledges were made publicly and they made them write down the names in a book.
Brent was asked to pray over a group who had made pledges. I was asked to pray over a group who responded to an altar call in the middle of the sermon. It was for anyone who was living with a person they were not married to, or having extra-marital sex. About 30 responded!
Church let out at 1:15.
