I am humbled and excited to be a part of what God is doing at Oakwood. I was curious to see statistically where we were at in decisions for the year. I had Nancy pull the decisions stats and this is what we found:
59 decisions so far this year.
33 new members have joined the church.
19 have come to salvation and been baptized.
We've had many come for repentance and rededication.
As God works it should excite each and every one of us. We are followers of the Way and anytime someone comes to Him or comes back to Him, we should rejoice. Remember what Jesus said in Luke 15 (Eric's paraphrase) "There is more rejoicing in heaven over 1 sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who need more repentance.
Rejoice in the Lord for He is good. Thank Him for His mighty works. Pray and ask Him how you can be a part of the body and advance the Gospel. Then get out there and be the salt and light.
