What an incredible weekend! By all accounts, the Healing the Heartland Festival was a huge success! 38 churches and 8 ministries worked together to share Christ with our city. It's an awesome thing watching the body of Christ come together for a joint mission. I will make several blog posts about some of my thoughts about the weekend.
We started out with the ten Neighborhood BBQs held throughout the city. New Covenant assisted with the gatherings at Noelridge, Palo and Robins. Saturday afternoon focused on the Children's Fun Zone and the Sports Zone. Saturday evening featured concerts by David Phelps, Barlow Girl and Newsboys. Sunday evening was Family Faith Day at the Kernels with our own Big Band playing on the concourse before the game!
A special thanks to all who served at one of the venues! The gospel was shared several times throughout the day on Saturday and many indicated that they prayed to place their trust in Jesus Christ. Now the work of follow up begins.
Healing the Heartland is over, but prayer, care and share continues. These are exciting days! We have unprecedented opportunities to demonstrate and communicate the love of Jesus Christ with our community. Might people know the hope and healing the comes through Jesus Christ.
