“I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good.” Psalm 52:9 (NIV). Our God is an awesome God! What a privilege it is to be used by Him to further His Kingdom. Our 2009 LifeLight Festival Ministry Report is moving; many lives were touched by the love and hope of Jesus Christ!
But what goes on “outside the walls” of the LifeLight Festival? Did you know that the festival goes beyond the fields, tents, masses of people and stages? LifeLight is honored to minister to many others in need of a Savior who are unable to attend the festival.
On Saturday afternoon, Lincoln Brewster visited Avera Behavioral Health Center, bringing music and the Good News to many in need of Hope.
On Sunday morning, evangelist Andrew Palau visited the inmates at the South Dakota State Penitentiary and shared the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
On Sunday afternoon, we had the opportunity to bless a 6-year old boy with a rare bone marrow failure disorder with a home visit from Tait and Duncan of the Newsboys.
Thousands of lives were touched by the saving grace of Jesus Christ at the festival as well. Our prayer counselors report a busier year than ever before in the prayer tents! A regular flow of individuals, couples and families streamed into the tents seeking Hope. Here is a preliminary report:
Gospel Booklets: We handed out over 9,000.
Gospel Tracts: We handed out over 10,000.
Bibles: Gifts provided 3,000. We ran out of Bibles for children and teens at 2:00 PM Saturday.
Prayer Counselors: We trained over 500 volunteers through live and video training to minister in the prayer tents.
Prayer Ministry: We had constant prayer activity and ministry each day from early morning until after closing at midnight. Hundreds and hundreds of decisions for Christ and prayer needs on response cards submitted.
Child Sponsorships: 125 children from Belo, Ethiopia were sponsored at the festival. More are still coming in.
We are still gathering information and statistics, so some numbers will change in coming weeks.
Praise to the Lord, the harvest is plentiful. To God be the Glory!!!
