I am looking forward to our new series this weekend. I am thinking that in this community we are dealing with a ton of life scars. Some self-inflicted, some imposed by others. Just a look at the straightupscrewedup.com website shows a VERY SMALL sampling. I am desperate for people to be repaired. God is even more desperate. My heart breaks... yet rejoices at the same time. You see... we had 23 baptisms (that makes 30 so far) the other day. So, I am grateful to stick it in satan's ear. Love y'all New Walk Rocks!

Summer is Jumping & the Critics

What a wild time we are having already this summer. On Wednesday night, we had several kids make first time decisions. On Sunday, we also had 2 adults make decisions for Christ...as well as about 12 more people commit to Baptism.
New Walk has its critics . We have been called some wild things by some folks that are jealous but the fact is, the fruits of Christ are showing. We are reaching people so incredibly that God is BLESSING! More people are worshipping boldly each week. More people are serving each week. More people are giving and those that were giving before, are giving more each week. People's lives are changing and there is tremendous evidence.
Some stats from 8 months:
-Over 40 Conversions
-Tons of Baptisms coming (in 2 weeks)
-Between 80-100 volunteers that are active monthly.
-Tremendous growth happening almost weekly.
THAT IS GOD! He blesses because we are fulfilling the basic principle he asked... GO OUT and reach everyone you can... but start in your neighborhood first. So many times, the church sits and hopes people will come to them. I have actually seen some churches that do no outreach and then pray on Sunday that "God will send them people". However, Jesus commands us several times in scripture to GO GET THEM! We can not sit back.... WE WILL GO GET THEM!
Keep on going after them.... God will take care of everything else!
