goodbye zanesville

its time to move on! our time in zanesville ohio has been great. we just finished our big shows here and they were packed out!

the hall had no air conditioning and it was extremely hot and sticky which was a really distraction for many people and a lot ended up leaving early. as a result we needed to shorten the programme to avoid people getting to restless. Sometimes its difficult when you have worked so hard on something to have to let it go but the most important thing is sharing the gospel with those who haven't heard it or have a distorted view of what it really is.

below is a breakdown of some figures from our time in zanesville that has been passed around to the local churches in the area.

"The Impact World Tour has hit South East Ohio. Over the last week of outreach we have seen over +800 people come to Christ just in the Zanesville area. God has moved powerfully and wonderfully through this region.

Here is a rundown of the statistics from the last week of outreach:

· School Assemblies at Bishop Rose Crans – 240 attended the assembly and 240 responded to the Gospel. (Including two teachers and the Assistant Principle)

· Nursing Home – 125 attended and 11 responded (Average age 70) =)

· Crooksville Church Based Outreach – 250 attend – 98 responded

· Prison Outreach – 417 attend – 180 responded

· Zanesville High School –

1. 1st Night with Team Xtreme – 1168 attend – 150 respond (a man in a wheel chair with a broken leg was healed by God and walked out of the school)

2. 2nd Night with Island Breeze – 849 attend – 50 respond

3. 3rd Night with GX International – 1386 attend and 101 responded (One lady brought 11 kids from their apartment building and all 11 got saved!)

That’s 830 people who have said yes to a call to serving Jesus in Zanesville!"

this has been a real encouragement to the local churches and they have continually expressed what a blessing it has been for people to come from all over the world to minister in tier city.

we now just pray that the churches continue to work together to water the seeds that have been planted and encourage those who made a commitment to follow through with it and have lives that are transformed for Jesus.
