Fly Like An Eagle...

WOW!!! We just had an awesome weekend here at Barefoot...God spoke and people responded! As we continued on our in FACES series, we looked at the face of an eagle. All of us have a lot to learn from the eagle and Clay brought it home yesterday: Lead With Passion, Be A Great Steward, & Have A Great Vision. Here are some highlights from yesterday's services:

  • It is November, tourist season is over with here in NMB, but we still had nearly 1,000 people in attendance here at Barefoot!!!
  • We began sharing more about our upcoming Christmas series, people are getting pumped about the REVOLUTION...we had 60 people commit to serve as Pre-Revolution Team Leaders!!! Seriously, you don't wanna miss one week of our upcoming series! We launch it November 23!
  • Our goal for this Thanksgiving is to feed 200 families in our area by partnering with North Strand Helping Hand. Yesterday was our first announcement of this and we collected over $2000 for turkey dinners. Let me break that down for you...$25.00 feeds a family of 6...That's over 80 families...nearly 500 individuals...and this was just our first week!!! More to come! Way to go Barefooters...Changing Lives That Change the World!!!
  • I had an awesome time yesterday helping with the post-service sign-ups for our new series and Thanksgiving dinners. I seriously think I am gonna serve more often as a greeter and usher for our services...I had a blast!!!
  • Oh yeah, 1 more thing...we had fresh made ice cream from the local creamery...WOW!!! Gotta love the birthday cake ice cream!
  • My wife returned home last night!!! She has been gone for over a week!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I missed her and how excited I was to see her!
