On Wednesday night 40-50 precious Americans responded to the altar call for salvation and between 25 and 30 were baptized in the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in tongues! Yes, Harvest Cry has started in Gettysburg :)!
In SOS we are raising up spiritual warriors and not pacifists! When I was in prayer at my hotel on Wednesday I meditated over Judges chapter 4 and 5. When the tribes of Israel were to go to battle against the armies of the Canaanite king Jabin, the tribes responded in very different ways to the calling-up orders... In the camps of Reuben there was much searching of heart and listening to the whistling for the flocks. One could say panel debates and concerts ;). The tribes of Dan and Asher stayed with their ships and on the beaches. Sailboats, surfing, water skiing, and sun beaches are more modern words. They were preoccupied with the wrong things in times of war. But;
The People of Zebulun risked their very lives; so did Naphtali on the heights of the field.
Judg 5:18
SOS is sort of like the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali. We do not like long board meetings, panel debates, conferences and concerts. We prefer pioneer unreached peoples festivals and church plants ahead of sailboats, surfing, water skiing and sun bathing... We are warriors! Thank you Jesus for another summer of salvations and miracles!
See ya!
See ya!
