Have You Seen The Yard Signs... (Special MessageTo NMCCers)

It is so exciting to drive down Clifty Dr... Michigan Rd... through Madison's neighborhoods... downtown and see the Easter Experience Yard signs!  Every time I see one... I'm praying for an Acts 2 Experience to happen!

One of the great truths that I have learned and was driven home just lately is that you can't plan a move of God... but you can get ready.  I have no idea what is going to happen on April 19th.  Yes... I said April 19th (the Sunday after Easter).  You see I've been praying about April 12 for sometime now... for over a year when we saw 1100 last year at the Easter Experience.  But the key is... what happens on the next Sunday?

When all of a sudden the believers went from 120 to over 3,000... I can't even imagine the thrill, the rush, the humble celebration... but also the "What now?" in the hearts of the early church.  I would imagine that the fell on their faces and knees and continued to hear the voice of God as He led them as they grew. 

Something very similar could happen here... right here in Madison.  And we are already on our faces and knees listening to the voice of God!  The excitement is building and I am so pumped, thrilled, humbled, and open to what can happen next in our journey to become fully engaged followers of Christ!

Speaking of fully engaged... our series continues this Sunday with "Fully Engaged With Our Friends!"  Can't wait! NMCCer's... the journey continues!

Bob,

I am praying for an explosion of faith at the high school. As Bill from Cycleguy says, "I'm praying dangerous prayers for you."

I can relate to your joyous tension as far as "what do we do when more people show up?", even though we are at a much different (smaller) level.
At the Church in the Grass we are averaging between 5 to 10 people each week. But every week we set out every chair we can find because we never know when all of our leg work in the community will start to produce fruit.

As we continue on our main goal is to get people in and make sure we are helping those who come regularly grow in a deeper relationship with our Savior.

Thanks again for all of your prayers and support at NMCC.

By the way, On Wednesday, April 15 we are going to start meeting at Lorenz Park on East Street for our outdoor messages.

I have seen them too. But I think the best sign I have seen was the other day driving along the country roads. It said Easter is much more than a one Sunday experience. WOW. That really hit home.
