Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to drop you a quick line regarding our totals for the past two nights:

After an amazing first week of BeachReach where we picked up a record number of people and had numerous decisions and rededications, I am happy to report that God is still working.

Beginning tomorrow, March 15, we will begin broadcasting our worship services LIVE from PCB! We invite you to return to the beachreachlivepcb.com web site at 7PM CST tomorrow as we kick off this exciting new feature!

Total number of people transported: 1,200
Total decisions to date: 10
Total re-dedications to date: 3

Redbox, the little drive up DVD vending machines where you can rent movies for a dollar a night, is doing a sweet promotional where they give you a promotional code every Wednesday this month for a free rental. Since Lost was a repeat last night, I decided to take Redbox up on the free movie and make my wife happy at the same time by renting Australia. I assumed it would be a sappy romance and figured I could earn a few brownie points, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn’t. It’s a good story, a bit long, but we enjoyed it. As I was watching it, I couldn’t help but think about this week’s lesson.

Total number of people transported: 1,170
Rededications to date: 5
First Time Decisions to date: 13

Monday Night Numbers:

• Total number of people transported: 1356
• There were several decisions and re-dedications. More on those in a later blog.

I am writing at 2:30 in the morning because I just ran the numbers for our first night of van and street team ministry in PCB and I can’t sleep until I share those numbers with you. Those of you who have been praying for the requests that have been posted to the web site all night—your hard work has paid off.

Hey Friends! Our first group arrived yesterday and will be waking up in a few hours to begin training before we hit the streets of Panama City Beach, FL. We are so honored to be here and that the Lord would see fit to use us for HIS GLORY in the days ahead! Thanks for praying! Thanks to a wonderful staff and to Jesse Bunch who has the blog up and running! Stay tuned for more! We are ANTICIPATING GREATNESS!!!!

Do you ever get tired of showing up for church events? What about serving in the church? For too long I feel the church has stressed attendance and serving in the church as our sole Christian duties. While I believe both are important, they are but small pieces to the puzzle.
