Just got up from a very refreshing 2 hour nap. Church this morning was awesome. All 4 NewSpring campuses met together at the BiLo Center in Greenville. Through the pouring rain 15,000 people came to worship God, celebrate the amazing gift of His Son, Jesus, and the lives He has changed through NewSpring in the last 10 years.
I thought about the 5th anniversary celebration. It was great, at the time, but now so "Kmart".
Perry announced our 5th location will be Charleston. Some of us from Spartanburg said people HERE need Jesus. You can tell because Spartanburg is the lead story on the local news every night for some killing, violence, or other craziness.
He briefly mentioned to Greenville that we should pack out the BiLo Center twice EVERY Sunday. Sounds crazy, I know, but then I thought even if 30,000 attended that campus thousands of people in Greenville would STILL be outside the kingdom and need Jesus.
Now I can look forward to March 4th and the Unleash conference. It is SO fun to volunteer that day and encourage church leaders. NewSpring isn't the church for everyone, and God is way more creative than we are. Unleash is about doing church the way God has called YOU to reach people with God's love expressed in Jesus.
Time to quit typing on this tiny Droid and get something to eat. Oh, by the way, probably 400 people got saved today by accepting the free gift of Jesus and making him Lord of their life. That's why we do church.
