cast of 30 plus tech people and staff to run hell house turned into an amazing night. we ran 18 groups through hell…it was like herding sheep. the responses were varied in each room depending on the individuals in the rooms. a few people ran out afraid, and others laughed, but in the last room, the heaven room, lives were changed forever. I saw tears streaming down faces, as 90 people made a decision for christ. this was a huge endeavor to undertake. props go out to our team of leaders and cast that made it all possible. heaven is gonna be a better place. my thoughts…not everyone is afraid of hell. each scene touched lives in different ways. the cutter and the suicide was more real to some than others. the girl that lost it in t he club scene found a connection to the event. no matter how much pizza and snacks you provide…teenagers will eat whatever they can get there hands on…fake blood stains-concrete, clothes, walls and skin…makeup on demons in a dark hell can leave hand prints and smudges all over the walls…the lights in heaven wont have a breaker that can trip! a walk thru hell can have a lasting effect on a 6th grader. heaven is truly worth living for! at midnight we still had stuff to clean up…but it was worth it all!

2 nights and nearly 900 people walked thru….165 decisions were worth it all!

saturday was the biggest outreach day at calvary. random acts of kindness all over our city. from giving away water bottles on the street corners, to pizza, power bars, car washes and standing in a savealot and buying groceries for people in need. 200+ people from our church gathered to pray and go out and make a difference in our community. you know thats what christianity is all about. making a difference in the lives of people in everyday life. I am so proud to be a part of a church that loves its community! we had the priveledge to wash cars for free…some people tried there best to give a donation- but we would not take it!

calvary truly cares.
