Excellent Turnout

Our block party couldn't have gone better! We had about 100 people show up and people were surprised that we weren't charging for any of the food or drink, they even asked where the donation box was and we had to tell them that this was a free gift to them, and it blew their minds. Throughout the whole block party we met 5 people who are interested in Pathway, one lady and her 2 children that live down the road from us have the same vision for church planting, but she goes to another church here in town that does some great work, but she also wants to partner with us. There were 4 other pre-believers that are at the curiosity stage with Jesus right now and are thinking about coming to Bible Study.

Our mission team was such a blessing today. They let me mingle and meet the people in our community while they served them. They are true missionaries at heart and we know that God is going to bless their work here in Medicine Hat. Many of the ladies have built relationships already with some of the locals and I know it is going to be hard for them when they go back to Louisiana.

There were about 100 people who showed up for the block party at Strathcona Island Park today and many of them came because of the invitations we left in the mail box. The cool thing about that was that all of them were looking for Jason because he had his name as the contact person on the invitations. So now there are about 100 people in our community that know about this church plant and know who we are and can contact us when they need help. Also when they see us on the street, they will be able to talk to us because that is very much how our community is - people just chew the fat with each other and that is part of our community's identity. I love it. Thank you FBC Sulphur for sending your missionaries up to us, and thank you Jesus for helping us love on this community that you love so dearly.
