We were blessed to have the Lord lead us at St. Jo to have a live drive-through Nativity in 2010. It was tremendous....so many gated driveways, no trespassing signs, and closed doors we just cannot get to and God made a way for us to reach many them. We had people from 2 states..and at least 6 different counties come by and see us on those 2 nights. We had a head count of nearly 2000 people. Some drove by and saw Barney...the camel...and went home to get their whole family and bring them through. What a blessing!
To see unwed mothers who attend church nowhere come by and roll the window down to read the scripture we posted at each scene to their children was enough to make one shout. Children who would have otherwise never heard the age old story of a Savior come from Glory heard it. To see other churches come by was a blessing to ....Oxford Memorials youth...and other church vans never ceased to end. Lord willing we will do it again December 9-10, 2011...6:30- 9:30 each night.
Just so you know...it took over 68 people to get all this done and not one job was left unmanned or anyone left standing...I pastor a great flock. We are greatful for each one who helped and those who were unable that prayed. All the work was worth it, and the fellowship was above measure. The ladies made and passed out hot chocolate and cookies and Church invitations with Salvation tracks. It was a blessing to see so many Baptist working together to accomplish a goal unreachable in some divided assemblies. If you didn't make it out come by this year and Celebrate the Saviour coming to this world to make a way for Man to be in fellowship with God again.....His blood washes away all sin....bless His name
