Lexington, SC

It's been a week since we finished our conference in Lexington, SC. I don't want to miss the opportunity to share with you all what happened there. On Wednesday we had an extraordinary chapel time as a team. We started at 10 am and ended somewhere between 1:30 and 2. We spent time in the word and then watched some videos about what was happening at a church in Arkansas. We then spend time in prayer asking God to work and it turned into a time of confession and seeking forgiveness from one another. One team member was impressed to make the comment "with a group as big as ours I wouldn't be surprised if there was someone in our group that wasn't truly saved." One of our girls responded to God after that comment was made and shared with the team how she was living a lie and had just gotten saved. We then rejoiced with her and began to pray for her. While we were doing that another one of our team members that was struggling began to deal with her doubts. And another one of our guys had shared with our team Revivalist that he wasn't sure if he was genuinely saved. Ryan and the rest of our team guys were praying for him as they walked him through the book of I John. He realized he needed to be saved. Praise God for these 3. They were then baptized in the evening service.

That's not it. God kept moving. I don't know what had happened because I was with the kids in Base Camp. But they had people giving testimonies and 8 people got baptized because they never did or were baptized before they were really saved. One of them just got saved that night in the Youth meeting. He then told his dad and went back to the sanctuary to get baptized. It was so neat to see God work.
