Right now I am eating a piece of celery with organic peanut butter crunch, crunch crunch...let me explain!
We are in the middle of a Daniel Fast where we have committed to eat only whole foods. We are in the middle of one of the most intense spiritual seasons we have ever been through. Over the past few weeks we have baptized 1044 and then encouraged our people to invite their lost friends to church beginning this week. Our hope is that 1,000 people will come to faith in Christ over the course of the next 3 weeks.

Tomorrow we are going to have the first night of a two night student event where Pastor Steven will personally challenge the students of Elevation Church to get ready for this school year. They are about to be released back into one of the richest mission fields on the planet (the public school system) and we would be foolish not to take advantage of the opportunity we have fire up our students right as they get back into it.

So why are we fasting? Because we recognize very clearly that unless the Lord builds the house, the laborers labor in vain. God has chosen to move through us in this season and we are doing everything we can to keep the spotlight shining on Him.

This was interesting, thanks.
John,
I forgot to check your blog during the last several weeks. I have kept up on all of the exciting things at Elevation through Pastor's blog and the sermons. Isn't God amazing! Since you wrote this blog, God has drawn 900 people to Himself! May we never stop marveling at the work of God.
