Here’s a true example of some planting, some watering, and God giving the increase! Last December, Kingdom Kids entered a float in the Goldsboro Christmas parade with the kids singing songs from their upcoming musical.  As the float followed the parade route volunteers walked beside and passed out information/invitation cards to Bethel Church.  In the crowd a young family accepted the card and went  home and looked us up online at bethelchurch.info and they watched some of our webcasts.  When the father went to work one of his coworkers who already attends BC invited him to come to church with him at Bethel.   Finally after some months of inviting the family came to church and God began to open their hearts to the Lord.  The family came for several Sundays as God was dealing with their hearts and in the 11 am service today October 23 they made a public confession of Jesus as their Lord and Savior and now they are in our Essentials Discipleship Class.  To God be all the glory and to BC a big thumbs up from your Pastor for planting and watering until God brought the increase.  In my opinion this is the church being the church and not just doing church.

• Kingdom kids float
• Volunteers information/invitation cards
• BC members personal witnessing in the market place
• Media ministry-website, webcasting
• BC prayer partners
• BC worship celebration
• BC hospitality
• The gospel proclaimed is the power of God unto Salvation
• Sunday Night Life Groups-Essentials Discipleship Class

God arranges all of this to reach us just because He loves us!  It is so awesome being in a church where God can bring the increase!  It is all about HIM!
