God is
moving, Jesus is alive, and Holy Spirit is performing miracles!
The Lord moved graciously and mightily.

Abby and Sherrie had this testimony. - There was a Hispanic lady and her 2 sons
who came, the older son (maybe 9) was interpreting for her. When they tried to
talk to her about salvation or the real meaning of Christmas, she did not know
anything and did not understand what they were talking about. Sherrie went to
get Pastor Hammie (the Spanish pastor of a Pentecostal church that Kevin Clem
had met just the day before) to come help. Pastor Hemmie was on his was out and
we asked him if he would help with one more. He shared the gospel with her and
she prayed to receive the Lord! Praise Him.
As best we can tell the numbers broke out like this:
Saturday SFC - we ministered to 136 families
Gave away almost 400 ($10.00 shoe vouchers)
Shared the gospel with (or the gospel was heard by) approximately 500-600 people
Used coats, free and reduced meal coupons given
Carnival with toys and candy for all the children
Sunday service - 47 first time visiting family units
40 of those were specifically identified as being from SFC
22 respond to the two altar calls:
2 - for general prayer
5 - first time salvation confessions
6 - Rededications
4 - Holy Spirit
5 - others
We also gave away approximately 50 new toys to children in need at the dinner
and another 25 to S1 children.
Only the church - His body - the local church could have accomplished this.
Everyone did fantastic! Many of you sacrificed with your time, your talents,
financially, prayers, counseling,...etc. I pray the Lord bless each of you for
representing Him so well this Christmas. Pastor Mark
