On last Saturday, 65 churches came together for Convoy of Hope to show the love of Christ and give our community some hope. 6,134 guests were admitted through the site front entry. They were able to get free groceries, free haircuts, free lunch, free job fair, entertainment for the kids, and more. In our Prayer Tent (where I volunteered), we prayed for 5,900 people! They told us that the national average for response forms for a crowd our size is 150-220. There were 455 family unit response forms submitted which is 2-3 times more than that was projected. These response forms represent people who received Christ, rededicated their lives, or were seeking a church home. Now the churches will be following up with these families.

On Sunday afternoon, we licensed Sis. Joyce Chilongo as an evangelist. Her message, "In the fullest of time...in the meantime" encouraged us on what to do while waiting for the promises of God.
On Monday evening, we had our Church Family Meeting. A few important things from the meeting:

On Monday evening, we had our Church Family Meeting. A few important things from the meeting:
- We are planning on offering Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University course at the church.
- We presented some vital information regarding updated security procedures. For those that missed it, you can request to get the video of the meeting and we will get the info out to all ministry directors to distribute to all ministries.
- We also published the first edition of our new newsletter, the Voice of Zion!
