When our Elizabethton church asked other churches in town to pray with them for the Jesus Film showing, God led them not only to pray, but also to donate food and door prizes! Beautiful bonds were formed between churches all over town because Elizabethton Nazarenes were obeying God!
God had challenged NMI president, Kristie Greene, pictured below with the church’s Easter Bunny, with a vision for showing the Jesus film to her town months before the showing.
Praise God, she accepted the challenge!
Elizabethton Church Easter Bunny & helpers had been busy for days, blessing hospital & nursing home patients with treats from the church the week prior to Jesus Film showing!
It was just about “Go Time,” and Pastor Kenley Knight was ready to greet people & direct traffic, with scores of traffic helpers from the church, and from the local sheriff’s department. When the church asked the theatre to show the film, they were told it would have to happen the night before the regular season was to begin…the Saturday night before Easter! It couldn’t have been a more beautiful night, planned by God!
Over an hour before the film was to begin, cars were lined up down the highway, waiting to be admitted. Seventy seven cars, filled with 208 people, came through the gate.
At the conclusion of the film, not one car moved…the invitation to pray was given…
People moved to the front, close to the screen,
Prayer Leaders from Elizabethton Church prayed with people all over the parking lot…
What a beautiful scene! Many, especially young people, prayed to accept Christ.
CONTINUE PRAYING FOR GOD’D MOVING ON ELIZABETHTON, LED BY HIS CHURCH!
