Cola-Clash Week #5 – Ulysses, KS

Jonathan BarberCola Clash Updates

It was great to be back at Grace Baptist Church in Ulysses, KS. When we arrived on Saturday, it was about 110 degrees and very dry. They were in the middle of a drought where they had only had 3 inches of rain in the past year-and-a-half. We prayed that God would pour water upon the thirsty and floods upon the dry ground. God did exactly that this week.

We had a church-wide prayer meeting every morning at 7:00am. It was very well attended by both adults and teens alike. Those prayer times were are the battle times. God met with us over and over throughout the week. I appreciate the intercessors that God has raise up in this church. Many battles were won on our knees this week.

Pastor Gregory asked me to preach Monday night and Tuesday night to the adults while the teens went recruiting. This was a special time. God met with us again.

The 3 rally nights were exciting as we watched the Lord bring in teen-after-teen. We had 112 over the 3 nights with 34 total profession of faith in Christ. It was another opportunity to be awed by the goodness and grace of God.
