"I Am So Happy With My Decision"

That was one of the comments from an individual that made a decision to follow Christ after seeing a commercial from Southern Baptist about having a personal relationship with Jesus and then visiting a website where they were taken step by step through what it means to be a Christian.  These commercials are running about 100 times a day as part of our efforts to share the gospel with the Greater New Orleans area through the Sharing the Peace of Jesus emphasis.  Those churches that participated are seeing numerous responses from the door hangers they are leaving at homes while prayer walking their neighborhoods.  More responses are coming in through NAMB's Evangelism Response Center as people call the Jesus2009 number seeking more information on spiritual issues.  

What an exciting time for our churches as they engage their communities and see God at work.  How even more exciting to think that this is only the first phase in the Sharing the Peace of Jesus emphasis.  Continue to lift up our New Orleans area churches as we continue with this process.  Many are using Easter as their main evangelistic event so pray for open hearts during these special worship services this Sunday.
