Mike Albon is the Campus Pastor for LCBC Harrisburg in Pennsylvania. We had the great pleasure of helping them with their portable equipment needs for their launch in October of 2007. We received this email today.
... This weekend we had 323 people at LCBC Harrisburg, and I am sure at least a third of them were first time guests. It was very cool!
Nathan* has attended our gatherings twice now and had never been to church before he came three weeks ago. He was known by some of our band members because they had been in a band together several years back. Last week he told us he trusted Jesus, this weekend he brought his daughter. Very cool!
Joe brought Michael* about 6 weeks ago. Michael is living in a transition house as he recovers from addiction and homelessness. You can see life's difficulties on his face, but there is a hope in his eyes that only the Spirit brings. Michael has joined the set-up team and this weekend made a point to introduce me to his daughter, who was there for the first time.
Jim and Lisa* (not their real names) were introduced to me by the kidmin staff. They were there for the first time, had seen our signs on the road, and were just kind of checking the place out. They made sure to tell me their church history. It was cool to see the stunned look on their faces during the song set. I think they'll be back.
Yesterday’s services were very powerful and left me that much more convinced that God has high hopes for LCBC Harrisburg. A bunch of people brought friends which made for a very cool atmosphere (lots of watchers and folded arms – just the people God wants to connect with). It is so cool to serve a God who "devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him." (2 Samuel 14:14)
