Last Sunday we had 1486 people sign up to volunteer!!!
This Sunday we are hoping to take just under 800 of them through their first experience.
The problem is our current systems were never intended to handle the volume of people that will need to get plugged in this weekend.
What do you do when the container is too small to hold all the oil?
We see this principle illustrated in 2 Kings 4 when the widow needed something to sell in order to pay her debts and all she had was a single jar of Oil. Elisha told her to go get more jars. Once she had increased her capacity for the blessing of God the oil began to flow and didn't stop until she ran out of jars.
The principle: INCREASE YOUR CAPACITY!
That's what we've done for this weekend. The old way wasn't working so we found a new way.
If you're content maintaining the level that you had the last time, you probably don't need to know this principle, but if you're interested in seeing ALL that God can do in and through you, you should always be ready to get more jars!

I am very excited to be one of the 1486 people who signed up and looking forward to my first experience on 2/22.
Great job today with our 4 of the 1486! We are relatively new to Elevation (Nov 08) and have been looking for a way to plug in. Way different from our old form of serving...Thanks for engaging all of us!
