Underground Church Simulation Game - April 24, 2010 RESULTS

WoW!! We did have UC on April 24th!! --- BUT, it didn't look good for a while! We had rain in the forecast for "off and on" all day Saturday. When we left to go to UC, it was clear, and by the time we got there it was beginning to rain. We watched the sky, and it was getting darker and darker, the wind had begun to pick up, and it was beginning to look like this UC would be a washout. We "saturate" UC in prayer, and during prayer time, it began raining really hard, so hard that you really couldn't hear the person praying. The rain was 'beating' down on the roof, man it was loud! After short time after prayer time, maybe 30 minutes, the rain began to "slack". Then we saw the clouds begin to break up....and then we seen the SUN come out! Thank YOU JESUS!! It was GREAT! WoW! Of course by now it was getting really close to start time...and we did have some folks that were 'scared' away by the weather, but then we had a few to show up!! We had one group from Mayfield to come!! Now normally under good weather conditions that is not really a big deal, but with the weather that we had, and I'm sure that it rained on them most of the way in..but they still came!! Thank YOU JESUS!!

We had about 70 players to go through the game. And we had 30+ workers, to portray all the different roles that we have in UC, GAG Regime, Clue Stations, Jail Attendants, Morgue Workers, needless to say we had a Blast! Casey and her team, always, always do an eXcellent job!! During the worship service, you could feel such a sweet sweet Spirit filled room! We had lots of great testimonies, words of encouragement, words of challenge and words of LOVE. I cut out probably sooner than I should've, and it took me a couple of days to hook up with Casey again to get the results....

The results are GODly, that is the only way to eXplain it!! Out of those 70 that came and played UC, there were 10 professions of faith!!! WoW!!! THANK YOU JESUS!

That's why we play UC!!

One Day Closer..

April 24th, 2010 at 6 PM, Trinity Baptist Church, Hopkinsville KY

First let me apologize!! I'm so sorry, I can't believe how much time has past since the last post. I am trying to find a piece of FREEWARE that will allow me to update the blog, the twitter, and the facebook accounts all at the same time, I haven't found it yet! If you know of something that will do that, please contact us ASAP!!

I was just emailing Casey and in the middle of me typing the email..she called me! Thank YOU JESUS! So we talked about the particulars and details about the upcoming UC Event, and she has it all under control! Thank YOU JESUS! I just got off the phone with Casey, (Casey Fowler our UC South Coordinator!), and she still needs a few GAG regime soldiers, and I think I can come up with some...so I think we'll be fine!

If you have never been to a UC event, please, please come! It is a very unique, very eXciting eye-opener experience! I can almost give you a 100% guarantee that you will have fun, learn something and have a new appreciation for being able to come and go freely to church!

Trinity Baptist Church, in Hopkinsville KY, is our host! They have been on board with UC for the past 4 years! Casey has a great team, and Bro Danny let's her go "wild" during this time of UC..LOL! We love how Trinity has came onboard with us and are as dedicated about UC as we are!

Please spread the word to others you know, perhaps you won't be able to attend, but maybe someone you talk to can. It's all about being able to share JESUS with as many as possible before it's eternally to late. This event is geared toward youth, young adults and senior adults, any one younger than youth age, I would suggest against it. This IS a game, but it is a SIMULATION GAME, and it's as real as we can make it..during game time.

I look forward to seeing you there at UC! Find me and say hello!

Website Updated!!

Underground Church 2010

It won't be long til our next UC! Trinity Baptist Church in Hopkinsville KYwill host our next UC in April of 2010! Casey and her "crew" are the greatest! Casey knows how to "crack that whip" LOL She's great, and sold out for JESUS! Trinity always does a great job with UC. I can't wait til April! You know it's not that far away, I mean really...like right now we only have 50 days left until Christmas!!! Enjoy!!

And Remember, we're One Day Closer!!

Underground Church Went GODly Well!!

GOD took over at UC!! Wow!! Cedar Grove Baptist Church, (our host) those folks did an outstanding job!! They were eXcited, and still are from what I'm being told! They are already talking about next year!! Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaw!! We have about 350 there, that included about 50 workers. When it was all said and done, we had 116 REdedications, 3 that would like to know how to be "saved", and we got to see 18 professions of Faith!! Thank YOU JESUS! And thank you Cedar Grove Baptist Church!!

Underground Church Is Approaching Fast!

I can't believe it! We are 22 days away from Underground Church!! Woohoo! Wow... There's still a lot of "odds and ends" that need to be taken care of! We still need some volunteers, we still need some props, and we still need some "food"!! Of course if JESUS comes on or before the 24th at 5 PM, I DON'T CARE IF ALL THE STUFF GETS TAKEN CARE OF!!! I'm eXcited about this year's eXperience, it's chapter 4, "New Beginnings", and the story line gets increasingly INTENSE! I'm praying GOD will give us as many as we can handle! The word is out, the banners are hung, the community calendars have been published, the PSAs have been sent to area radio stations, and now we just sit back, and let GOD do the rest! It's all about HIM anyway..right! Underground Church is continuing to impact Western KY, and beginning to reach out far beyond our regional area! Australia! How about that?!! Simply AMAZING!

We will continue to "conduct" Underground Church until JESUS comes, or tells us to stop..One or the other... Our prayer is simply that GOD has HIS WAY with each heart that's present, and that could entail many things. For instance, Underground Church is "geared" toward believers, but GOD has seen fit to SAVE people!! Thank YOU JESUS! Some people have answered the call to the Mission Field, some have 'gained' a new appreciation for the freedom that we have in coming and going into a place of worship without hindrance from government or anyone else.

We take that, special freedom, for granted. In fact, we take it for granted enough that some days, some times, we choose NOT to go. Something else, we take for granted is GOD's WRITTEN WORD, we don't read it and don't pack it!

This is one reason, scripture memorization, and daily quiet times, are so important! If you get HIS Word in your Heart, in your mind, no matter what happens on the outside, no one can take it away from you!!

One Day Closer...

WOW!

The Underground Church Simulation Game seems to be growing even more! Thank YOU JESUS! It is "wild" that this outreach tool is reaching out to 1000s of people every year! I have just did a search on YouTube, for Underground Church, and wow, a bunch of results come up!! Some are actual video from actual Underground Churches...a must see! Also there are many churches now doing Underground Church as an event or outreach tool, very nice to see!

Now I'm NOT saying that "we" had anything to do with it OR not, but it's amazing after "we" started doing UC again..how many people are doing it also. The UC website is getting hit all over this world, and it has "sparked" some to take on this great tool for themselves! We have had emails from Australia, Summit Mississippi, Alabama, and from a person contacting us via our Underground Church YouTube channel!!

Thank YOU LORD! Thank YOU!

I know many of you "struggle" with doing UC, and that's not all BAD! It takes a 'calling', no doubt, it takes a "faith" that is bigger than all of us, it takes "love" for others more than ourselves. I know the "storyline", the "idea", the "intensity" is not necessarily the way we should present the gospel...but it does get the message across in a "powerful" way!

UC takes minutes to do something it might take one of us to do in days, weeks, or even months, it takes away (or "blows" away) all that someone might be "packing" before the game starts. We don' t know what people are "thinking", are "going through", have "come out of", or facing at that particular time....when the GAG regime "comes in", I believe that everything that "may have been" is now gone. And when all the "cares" of this world are not on our hearts and minds, then GOD's SWEET HOLY SPIRIT can get "right through"...

So as hard as UC is to do, work in, etc., it is the great commission in a very unique way, but whatever it takes to see one "lost" soul come to JESUS, it's worth it!
