Monday's Campaign, Off to a Great Start

The first full day of the campaign each year is always interesting. We're not sure where our door knocking will start, and what kind of studies we will have, or, how interested the people we visit will be to study God's word. We can be a little apprehensive on this first day, but it always turns out to be a great day. In total, we conducted 18 bible studies with 15 different people. We all have more lessons set up with people tomorrow, and look for that to continue for the rest of the week. 

While we are out door knocking and studying with people, we are also inviting them to nightly classes that we are hosting at the Burnham Drive Church of Christ building, each evening from Monday through Friday.  We have classes available from toddler through 5, 6 to 9, 10 to 12, teens and then the adults. All of the mission team participate in these classes in one form or another. We start out at 6:30 PM, sing for 45 minutes and then hold our classes until 8:00 PM or so. It is always a great night of worship and Bible study.

Usually, the first night we draw about 80 persons, and grow from there each night having doubled that by the time we are finished on Friday. There is no reason to expect any different result this year, as it has been fairly consistent the last 5 years that I have been participating in this great effort. Tonight, we had 111 people in attendance. By Friday, I won't be surprised if we top 200. 

Please pray we have continued success as we sow the seeds of God's word the rest of this week. Tomorrow I plan to post more pictures of our studies, and classes that we are teaching. And I look forward to an awesome week here in Linden, Guyana.

'til next time.......
