Operation BlackOut Galati Romania

Operation BlackOut has begun. I have decided to work this team from Cameron as hard as I can. I need to hit this city again as it as been three years since we last prayer walked the entire city. This time we have a lot more "Fire Power!" I knew that I could ask this team to do the X-treme as they are nothing but ready for this challenge. I have asked them to try and reach every Zone, (All Fourteen) in this two week period. They have already hit Zone 4 by going to Holy Trinity twice. They have hit Zone 6 by attending our new church service in which we had nearly 80 people including 40 children. (This with the group from Zone 9 out of the city and Karla and Katie in the village) So things are going well.

We hit Zone 1 yesterday and Zone 2 today. In just an hour and half we will go to Zone 2 again and hit the street. We had a very interesting encounter today that I will spare those back home whom are praying -keep praying is the real need!

I am trying to use this team to develop a "pressure chart". This would be a way to determine the amount of pressure we are REALLY putting on a Zone. Step One is Prayer Walking so for every hour a "team of three" Prayer Walks they get one point. Step Two is Share Jesus Without Fear so for every person that they open the BIBLE with a team of three receives two points. Step three is teach one lesson so that would be three points for a team of three. Then Form One Group would be four points as it is the fourth step.

So far this team has 4 points in Zone 6, 8 Points in Zone 4 and yesterday racked up 36 points in Zone 1 and already has 8 points in Zone 2 before hitting the streets this evening. This will prove to be the very best thing that the team from FBC leaves behind. A method to determine the effectiveness of our efforts. We will continue to use this method after they leave. It will be a way to show them many great things about Church Planting. More teams more points. More step accomplishes more points. This will also show us where an area is more receptive. Well, we must go...all is well. PTL.


Zone 1 = 36 Points "July 7th'


Zone 2 = 8 points Prayer Walking with more to come in just one hour!
