Casa del Juicio--Final Weekend




I'm definitely running behind getting things posted, but it's taken a couple of days to recover from the final weekend of Casa del Juicio.  Saturday was busy because I had a baby shower in the morning and then was home about and hour and a half before leaving for Lourdes at 2:00 p.m.  Stephen was still feeling bad so I went alone.

Counseling was set up in the sanctuary separated from the preaching by a wall of plastic.



The first group started at 3:00 p.m. and  we finished about 9:30.  Almost 400 people saw the production and there were 50 professions of faith and about 30 rededications.  Even though I was able to leave about 9:30, a group of people from the church had to take down everything that was inside the sanctuary so they could have church on Sunday morning.  

Stephen still wanted to play for church on Sunday morning so we walked to the hotel, as usual.  After playing in the second service, we walked to Plaza Futura for a Valentine's Day lunch at Olive Garden.  It was quick, but nice; we were in and out in less than an hour.

I got away a bit later, but still arrived before most of the counseling team.  Sunday was almost a repeat of Saturday, with nearly 400 people going through.  The decision numbers were down just a bit to 42 and 15, respectively. 

At the end of the night, the whole team gathered outside the church for a prayer of thanksgiving for everything that God did through Judgment House 2016.

Casa del Juicio--Saturday and Sunday


I ran out of time to do a post yesterday, so I thought I'd just wait and do one post for the weekend.  

On Saturday and Sunday we started at 4:00 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m. which allowed more people to go through.  Saturday 676 people came through; Sunday was the largest of the week with 769 people.

Misha (a girl from Alabama who is here to teach English at New Life) worked with me all week.  She wanted to see the presentation so we went through last night.  The story this year is based on the life of a family in the church.  Their daughter, Cindi, died of leukemia when she was 17; so, even though I knew the story, it was still very impactful.  The actors did an amazing job.  

There were 92 professions of faith on Saturday and 96 on Sunday.  The totals for the week were:  

                   Attendance:               2,649
                   Professions of faith:      290
                   Rededications:              134

All of the sets are being torn down today because New Life Christian School classes will be in session tomorrow.  On Wednesday everything will be taken to our Lourdes campus to be set up on Thursday and Friday.  The final two days for Judgment House 2016 are Saturday and Sunday, February 13 and 14.

Thanks for praying along with us for this evangelistic emphasis.  Please keep praying as the follow-up starts in earnest this week.
