Need To Know: 04.19.09 Anderson Campus
Posted by Chris Dunagan on Wed, Apr 22 and tagged
Easter weekend was as amazing on the NewSpring Web Campus as it was at NewSpring’s Anderson, Greenville and Florence locations.
On the web, we saw a record attendance of at least 803 people from several countries. Seven people gave their life to Jesus that we are aware of.
In total, more than 322 people met Jesus and crossed over from death to life during the course of 14 services over two days. Overall, 15,400 heard Perry Noble give one of the most compelling presentations of the Gospel anyone has ever seen. (Oh, and AC/DC’s Highway to Hell was one of the songs we used to communicate that message. If you are pissed about that, take it up with God.)
How does God feels about whether online worship honors him? Do you need to ask?
Here are some reactions to Sunday’s web services:
Awesome! You really do get the power of the message, and I actually think the interaction helps (maybe not if it had been my first listen, but it really added another dimension to be able to peek into other people’s experience). ... It spoke to my heart in a new way ... and I was unexpectedly emotional. It was really cool.”—Kylie
“It has been amazing and for me the first time in many many years. I’m part of a worship experience that is not all about me & where I have an opportunity to give back through an online chat room while the service is being preached by the staff & worship band of newspring”—Shannon
“My Grandmother could not come with my mom and stepdad, but thanks to the webcampus she watched Sunday morning at 11:15 and got to see the previous night’s service and saw her grandson lead her stepson down the isle and meet Christ”—Tyler
Our web church also was the subject of an excellent story in the Greenville News, which you can read here.
There are likely tens of thousands of people who have heard about NewSpring who now, through the Web Campus, have the opportunity to a part of the amazing work God is doing here. Pastor Perry Noble is asking everyone to pray and prepare for more waves of salvation through the remainder of The Gospel series. Do your part by inviting people.
