Cola Clash Week #4 – Raymore, MO

Jonathan BarberCola Clash Updates

We arrived in Raymore, MO looking forward to seeing a work of God in this growing church. Pastor Thomas has quite a burden for the area. It was good to pray and fellowship with him, and to catch his burden. There were several things that we prayed about that God specifically answered. One was concerning the transition from the field to the church for the preaching time. The field was at a park about 4 or 5 blocks away. We had a bus to take the teenagers back and forth, but there is always a concern in a situation like that that some kids will not make it inside. God answered prayer in this regard, and all but 3 of the 94 kids that came over the three nights made it inside. The 3 that did not come in the second night did come in the first night. So, even they heard the Gospel. God also gave us great weather. We have seen that all summer. It will rain in the morning and early afternoon, and then quit just before the Cola-Clash. God has delivered us every time. By the end of the week, we had seen over 20 young people come to Christ. Thank you for praying for us this week. God did deliver!
