Free yard sale ! What ? I know items at a yard sale should be cheap, but free...at least that was what I was thinking last Sunday when my pastor first announced it at church. Then as he explained it I got all exited !

This will be a county wide event, as many churches as we can get involved. Denominatins do not matter-only Jesus. Everyone is to start collecting items such as clothing, food, toys, toiletries, linens, ect...They will all be taken to one central location. A large church downtown.

Then the good part. Each family will be invited into the sanctuary where personal information will be gathered. Names, addresses, phone numbers, church attended, needs, ect...They will then be led to a classroom by family where they will be witnessed to. Finally they will be taked to the gym where they will find God has met all their needs. Free food, clothing, ect...

What a wonderful new way to spread the word and help the needy.

God is soooo good.

Serving Him daily,

Our Free Yardsale was yesterday, (Sat. March 24,2007) so I thought I would give an update of how it went. I had a group at camp and was unable to attend it but this is what I was told.

131 families attended consisting of 403 individual people of all ages. Every one herd the word of God and at the very least have had a seed planted. There were 9 people who recieved Christ yesterday as a result of the yardsale.They will be followed up by which ever church is closest to them (unless they specified a particular church or denomination.

There were 15 churches of various denominations involved and it was a blessing to those serving as well as those served. This was a wonderful witnessing tool and I pray that it will be used again.

God bless,

Jay
