Big Splash in Acapulco - 208 Receive Christ

This one goes down in history. I really didn't know how our first major student conference in Acapulco would turn out. And after the first day, I thought this vision I had several months earlier might implode like a sand castle on the beach at high tide.

But God just had a different idea in mind for the start of our conference, and after the craziness of the first day, the fun really kicked in. I work alongside a staff team of absolute superheroes who have worked their tails off this month. Some of their hard work paid dividends in Acapulco.

150 people heard how to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, share their faith effectively, and start movements on their campuses. Here is just a small piece of the picture of what God did:

  • 3,300 Exposed to Christ (on the beach and in the city through the students)
  • 208 New believers
  • 110 Students made commitments to be a part of a campus movement
  • 70 Committed to help friends start movements
And those are just a few numbers. The stories continue to come in of students who have experienced personal transformation and are now following Christ on their campuses and are believing Him to launch movements.
