The Countdown Has Begun
The human vocabulary falls very short of providing the necessary words to express the excitement and anticipation of our new Bay Community Mobile Campus. This past weekend was our soft launch. Soft launch is a fancy way of saying “practice run.” Little did we realize that our practice run would blow us away. The equipment trailers rolled in at about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday morning loaded to the max. Our launch team did an absolutely outstanding job with set-up and tear-down. No one really knew how everything would look, and WOW were we amazed!
On Sunday, from Guest Services in the Commons, to Kidztown, and then the Worship Center, the “WOW” factor was obvious. Everyone worked very hard and it was evident in the finished result. We then gathered into the Worship Center for our worship experience and the message. We began to look around and realized that we had almost filled up the auditorium with just our launch team. And then to top it all off, we had curious people who showed up because they saw our signs on the highway, which had been placed out for experimental purposes. UNBELIEVABLE!! At the end of the day we were tired, but ecstatic.
So the countdown begins. This weekend is it. This is what we’ve worked so hard for. Anticipation is high. We’ve prepared, we’ve planned, and we’ve prayed. We’re coming. No looking back. There are thousands in Mobile, Alabama who need to hear the message of Jesus, and we’re bringing it. No doubt we’ll see lives and families changed. No doubt we’ll see people discover their destiny and purpose. There is no doubt that world changers, missionaries, pastors and other key leaders will be developed right out of this campus. It’s all because someone heard God’s call. But more important, someone obeyed and took the risk. Here we come Mobile.
Two identical experiences this Sunday: 9:00 am and 10:45 am. Are you ready? Let the countdown begin!
