Due to an incredible "revival" atmosphere, Pastor Lewis requested that we continue another week with the Pentecostals of West Houston. This is without a doubt one of the finest churches in Pentecost! Not only did we experience true revival with this wonderful church, we also made new friends!

If you or someone you love lives remotely close to this assembly…… encourage them to visit!  They will love the Lewis family.  While they are mightily used of the Lord… they are also easily entreated.

Each service was power packed, and contained a specific message for the moment!  His Word was confirmed "each night" and a multitude were filled with the Holy Ghost! 

Throughout the week, we focused our attention on the guests who came out for each service.  We made sure to leave our comfort zones, and "personalize" as many people as possible.  Although this took a little time… the results were visible from the very first night!  Almost all of the guests returned for each scheduled service.    

On Thursday night, God performed amazing works! Several people were physically and emotionally healed during the altar service.  To God be the glory! 

On Friday evening, we were honored to spend time with a portion of the leadership team.  What a tremendous time we had during the "open forum" question and answer session.  By the end of the evening, an openness took place, and some spoke about their painful pasts, and where God has brought them from….  

Saturday night was an especially powerful service. The presence of the Lord covered the sanctuary, and the Lord spoke directly to the congregation!  Many of these sweet people spent approximately one hour in the altar in deep prayer.  There was a heavy burden released for those that are outside of covenant relationship with the Lord.

Sunday morning the atmosphere in the sanctuary was electrifying.  An incredible display of praise and worship ushered us into the presence of the Lord. Many were filled with the Holy Ghost during this time.  At the close of the service, three more were baptized in Jesus' name, and many more received the Holy Ghost. (One young lady was so excited about receiving the Holy Ghost… that when she stepped into the water to be baptized….. she began to baptize herself……).

Sunday afternoon, the youth hosted a fund raiser for their homeless ministry.  The music along with the skits, as well as sincere praise and worship choruses… took this fun time to another level!  By far, this was the most exceptional youth event that we had ever been a part of.

Please check out the pictures from this event, as Bro Hodges & Sis. Katie were the dubious recipients of this Oatmeal Plunge experience!

Sunday evening was also a life changing service!  Many more were baptized and many more received the Holy Ghost during this service!    

As always, we give all the glory and honor to the Lord, and realize that He is worthy!  It is because of His goodness that great things happen……

As a final note, please do not discard the tremendous ministry of "door knocking."  Possibly, the reason that door knocking has received so much scrutiny is due to the intrusive/confrontational approaches that many have taken.  We teach biblical concepts that allow door knocking to be exciting, fun, and by all means, non intrusive!  (We must knock doors while there is time).

On a monthly basis, we see hundreds connected to the local assemblies via this door knocking ministry.  In fact, the majority of the guests that visit during the revivals we are connected with… are a direct result of door knocking!  And the overwhelming majority continue to attend that local church, long after we are gone.

The key to any outreach endeavor is "personalization"! 

In the near future, we will be selling a series of outreach oriented sessions that are sure to revolutionize your local "outreach ministry" endeavors.  The material will be easily absorbed, and the cool thing is that "everyone" in your local assembly can be effective in this type of outreach!

We love and appreciate each of our family members, friends, and fellow laborers in the Gospel.  Please continue to reach out to everyone…everywhere!
