35,000 Bibles Delivered

Today was the day! Our church met for breakfast and then sent 1,700 volunteers out to deliver 35,000 Bibles and Easter service invitations to every household in El Cajon. We were assigned 36 homes on Primrose Drive.

It was a really awesome experience for us. About 80% received the Bible and Easter invitation with enthusiasm. We ran into a few “sometimes” church attenders (one that attends SMCC occasionally) that I think may just need a little extra nudge toward Jesus, and I think that our visit followed by Pastor Jeremiah’s message on Easter may be “it” for them! It seemed like everybody had a dog of some type, but it was no problem.

We ran into three or four Christians attending other churches. One of them attends Journey Church and was very kind to offer us water as we were leaving and wish us luck. It was nice to know we had fellow Christians on the “battlefield” rooting us on.

We saw a couple other fellow teams out delivering Bibles while we made our exit. We also saw Bibles hanging on many doors all over the neighborhood. It’s awesome to realize that every home in a city of 100,000 now has a Bible and invitation to our church! When I multiply our experience by the other 1700 volunteers I know without a doubt that this event will have a HUGE impact and many will come to know Jesus (sooner or later) because of it!

We thank God for this opportunity to serve. Pastor John Gillette was an awesome leader and his team did an amazing job coordinating everything. It was quite a task to organize the teams and their destinations along with all the Bible bagging work and meal preparation.
