Encounter

This last weekend in Huntington a group of churches held Encounter meetings at Kriegbaum field. Though it started slow with the first night being rained out but we were able then to meet on Sunday night. The music and the messages were blended well together and many people had a fresh encounter with the living God. There were many exciting things that took place of which the biggest one for me was that churches from many different backgrounds and doctrine came together for one purpose. On Sunday night God moved upon us and the churches came together in unity in a manner that this community has not seen. Then there was a visible demonstration of all the people making a huge circle around the football field that symbolized that the churches of this community will work together to make a difference in this community. Our goal for these meetings was that we would experience a fresh encounter with God. That was accomplished by seeing several people come to Christ, many others rededicated themselves to Christ and a renewed commitment to come together as the church of Huntington to make a difference in this community for Jesus Christ. My encouragement now is to continue to seek for another fresh encounter with God. We all need Christ in an increasing measure for the unknown future. Let us love one another and continue to work together for the cause of Christ.
