RAIN!!! Lots of it. Friday show happened miraculously with rain before and immediately after show, but not 1 drop of rain during show. God controlled weather on Friday and kept the Promise completely dry during the show. My wife Charlotte and other cast members were watching the weather radar and the storms would wrap around Glen Rose then come back together after passing Glen Rose. Cool huh?
The Saturday show was cancelled due to rain. On Saturday afternoon I with help from Glenda stuffed prayer requests into playbills and put labels on playbills. So we have enough playbills for this next weekend. It takes 1 person about 30 minutes to prep 1 case of 150 playbills. Each family gets 1 playbill, and if there are 2000 people in attendance for a show, we need about 1000 play bills for the show (7 cases, 3.5 hours of work per person). I will mostly work on the playbills before and during shows, and I need some help from you, perhaps 30 mins before each show. When we get volunteers from a partner church I will try to use some of them before show for 30 minutes prepping playbills.
Prepping playbills is the "feet washing" part of the Prayer Team ministry: not fun but we have to do it.
The next few Promise shows without rain should be bigger attendance because people get tickets for future shows when show is cancelled. So rest and get ready.
The default gate open time is now 6:30pm instead of 6:00pm. See below:
SCHEDULE EACH SHOW NIGHT
Before gates open - setup prayer tent, pray, train and organize partner church volunteers, prep playbills.
6:30pm – Gates normally open at 6:30pm, but check event schedule on web link above
6:30-8:00pm – Greet visitors, finish setting up tent, prayer, do same activities as at intermission for fewer people, prep playbills.
8:00pm Show starts - during show do prayer, and prep playbills if needed.
Try to thank and praise God more than you ask Him for requests. Lets fill up our praise posters with praises; I am including these praises in the weekly prayer request emails. Also if you hear of answered prayers when doing follow up, please let me know so I can add them to the weekly email. Know that each of you are very welcome to write up prayer requests for people you know. Thank you all for your service and especially your prayers!
