I'm tired of programs and "friendliness" to promote numbers Articles / Testimony Letters Date: Jun 26, 2002 - 12:44 AM I'm tired of programs and "friendliness" to promote numbers. I want what our forebears had in the book of Acts: the Power of God moving in an undeniable way and transforming churches, communities, regions, states, the nation and the world. I want to be a laborer in this last days harvest! Please click on the "Read more..." link below ...to read the full article..There really is much more inside.

I am not a native Texan... I actually went to Bible School in Kirkland, WA ... I have brothers in the Northwest... So, I am aware of where you come from and appreciate your loe for that region of our country. When I was twelve years old my dad was pastoring in a small town... Spearman, TX. That was the year of the outpouring at Asbury College in Kentucky. I remember two college guys from Asbury named Bob & Bill. They spoke at the Methodist Church in Spearman and all kinds of young people got saved and "turned on" for Jesus. Before that summer was over, practically 90% of the high school got saved. I wasn't in high school yet, but two of my brothers were. I clearly remember the Jesus t-shirts, the prayer & Bible study groups on campus, the Jesus cheers at ball games and the way Jesus generally dominated a high school and a town for a full year. Then it ended. Almost as suddenly as things had changed, they suddenly reverted to the way they were. The "Jesus fad" was over... for everyone except me. I've always believed that one day God would move in a way that would see people saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit and Fire, and delivered from all kinds of oppression. I've dreamed of a day when I would go to a church that was full, not because of programs or disgruntled people moving from that church to this church, but because God is manifesting Himself to hungry people through miracles, signs and wonders. I believe that day is TODAY! I believe the place is HERE! And I believe that God brought me to this place at this time to be a part of it. I believe that the things my Dad and my brothers and I desired to see when we were young are about to happen in the Panhandle region... I'm tired of programs and "friendliness" to promote numbers. I want what our forebears had in the book of Acts: the Power of God moving in an undeniable way and transforming churches, communities, regions, states, the nation and the world. I want to be a laborer in this last days harvest! I'm determined to see God move in my life and in my family in a mighty way... I am confident that God has put a network of leaders in place that is committed to seeing a monumental last-days revival that will continue strong until the rapture. I believe we are all in God's place in God's timing. W.C. Dumas Christian Center Dumas, Texas John Thuringer - Pastor ............................
