Newark Nite was a crazy successful night for The Journey. We had a ton of fun and let a bunch of people know about our church.
Here are some of the wins that I observed (I'm sure there are a ton more):
• We served our community by passing out 1300 bottles of free water. And because we think thirsty people everywhere deserve a drink, The Journey will be sending a check this week to Blood: Water Mission to provide clean drinking water to over 1,000 people in Africa for an entire year. That’s really unbelievable.
• There was at least one couple at The Journey on Sunday who came as a result of interacting with us at Newark Nite.
• Many, many people were exposed to our message of being a real church for real people when they received our brochure, read our sign or talked with us.
• Our booths were really well done. Excellence & passion are the language of our culture…and we had both.
• Journeyers were energized and engaged. This was a great event for our church.
Heer's an unobservable thing that's pretty cool: The Holy Spirit is now working in the hearts of the people who were at Newark Nite. Somebody’s mowing their grass or in their cubicle or car and the Holy Spirit is speaking to them right now about coming this Sunday to The Journey.
At The Journey, it's our mision to help people find Jesus and follow Him fully. If you were a part of Newark Nite in any way, you were a part of that mission. If you're not a Journeyer, but you prayed for us, then you're were a part of that mission...and it's a mission that's worth being a part of.
See you at Newark Nite 2011 on June 4th!
