Praise Report!!!

We just wanted to let you know that 21 SOULS WERE SAVED IN LESS THAN 2 ½ HOURS on Saturday, April 10th during the Street Evangelism in inner city Columbia!!  A group of 10 people (Pastors and Laity) from the Columbia District, took the message of Christ to the streets as our Lord commands us to do in the Great Commission.  We give God glory, honor, and praise for what He did through willing vessels this day.  He simply asks us to GO!  We are asking everyone to pray each day at 12 noon for the continuous move of God from now through the Institute and Revival. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!!
