Last weekend, JB and Gail Sanchez and the kids came and did a three-day revival for us. Many of you may have heard that we had a fire in the apartment connected to the church a couple weeks ago. Thankfully the people were home to catch it or the firemen said the whole church would've burned down. So, it wasn't serious but it was an electrical fire, so the power had to be shut down for a while and we were hoping it wouldn't interfere with what we had planned. We were without power or heat and were unable to have services, but in about a week it was back up and running. When the revival came around we were ready to go and thought all that was behind us. But when we arrived early on Friday to do an outreach we noticed it was cold and not getting any warmer. So after a couple hours, when our hands and faces were numb, we realized the furnace wasn't coming on! We called our Landlord and he sent out a handyman to check it out. The handyman concluded that it was a blown fuse but he had to leave and my dad also had to leave for work, so me and my mom were left with the task of replacing the fuses. With the help of Pastor Rod, we got it done but it only lasted about 10 mintues before the furnace was out again. So by this time it was almost time to start so we bundled up in our coats and had service anyway! We a great service regardless and then we went somewhere warm for dinner!
The furnace was fixed the next day and ready for the Springs youth group who came up for a special Saturday night youth service! The furnace guy even found a dead tarantula underneath the furnace, but that's another story! It did cause quite a stir though! Springs brought two van loads up and we had an outreach before the service to pass out the rest of the flyers. After outreach and pizza for dinner we had a wonderful service. The weekend was concluded with two more awesome services on Sunday and good times of food and fellowship in between!
All in all, it was a great weekend! Lives were touched and people were chanllenged! Thank you Jb and Gail for taking time for this revival. We are looking forward to seeing the fruit that comes from it! And thank you Youth for helping with outreach and services!
God is doing new things all the time, and through Him we will build this church one person at a time! It's not always easy but it is always worth it! God is always faithful and it is such a privilege to be here doing what we are!

Yello Kristin! Looks like a great revival...minus the cold and dead taranutlas...gross. I like the pictures, the one of JB is classic. Love ya :)
Kristin, this is Chris, from Kenya. I got saved in Pastor Paul's church. I am back in the States for a short time and I am thinking about visiting the church. What is your address for the church? You can email me at chrisr@rosslynacademy.com Are you all on the same schedule as the Springs church? Thanks!
