Kingdom Party

On September 29, 2007, The Compass Launch Team took a step of faith by hosting a Kingdom Party in the community that we intend to focus our outreach energy. Our hope was to introduce the ministry of The Compass to the community but with fast approaching storm clouds and 40+ mph winds, it seemed we would be kept from delivering the event that had been planned by many. We stopped to gather for prayer. We were of single mind as we gave God praise.

Teams of people then went door to door through the near-by apartment complexes and the children started to gather at the carnival, there were fifty-five people in all. They earned tickets at various stations enabling them to “buy” great prizes. There was also free lunch for all who came, along with a Bible and books presenting the gospel for youth and children!

We watched how God took this event from nothing and literally placed every part into action. Help was needed to help run the Kingdom Party. It came in the form of members from Crossroads Church. You can’t have a carnival without prizes. They came from the World Vision Store House. There was no access to rest rooms in a building. A blessing came in the form of port-a-potties being donated. The most important reason for us doing this event was to share the Word of God to people. This came in the form of a great gift from the International Bible Society. Our needs were clear: people, money and Bibles. God dealt with each need one by one.

On a dreary rainy day, children and adults went home with smiles on their faces!
