FX Report

This FX was by far the best! The people hosting and promoting this event were exceptional. They did everything we asked and then some. The green room was always loaded down with drinks and snacks. The volunteers worked hard. Everyone was pleasant to be near.

The first night, about 600 attended. The second night was around 1,100. Last night was estimated 2,500 and the people just filled the arena. The decisions made for Christ totalled 115 the first two nights and I have not received a number for last night. It had to be hundreds last night. The sea of people began to empty into the aisles. We waited for ten minutes as people just kept coming to respond to the invitation to invite Christ into their lives. It was incredible!

I wish every night on the road was like last night. It was so awesome! To start off, after we played a countdown video, Duane drove our big truck into the arena honking our big truck horn the whole way. When he stopped, I jumped out and opened the side door on the trailer. Out came all of the band, the bmx team on their bikes, and Brock on his motorcycle. Everyone ran or rode up the jump box and onto the stage. The music faded and Brock yells "Are you readdddy?" into the mic as the band kicked it.

The group that put this on covered everything in prayer. You could feel the prayers. One of the worker's mom was placed in the hospital Tuesday with chest pains. They suspected heart problems but found out it was just a little stress. Remember that Robert's bike was stolen last week? Someone in the audience donated $1,000 for him to buy a new bike. God really answered all of our prayers!
