In Memory Of...

Please remember our extended family in the days to come.  They are experiencing the loss of a precious daughter, sister, wife.  
Mrs. Olivia Bohannon Pullins, known to her friends and family as Livvie, age 36, died early this morning of a stroke and Merkel cell carcinoma, a cancer in its fourth stage that no one even knew she had.  Born with a heart defect and a veteran of numerous surgeries that are far too many to count, she has lived her life to the full, and God decided it was time to end her sufferings.
Heaven has gained a special lady.
And even though, at the loss of such a precious person, we should be rejoicing, it is still sad for those left behind.
However, she has a new body now, without defect, in which she can experience absolutely no pain.  The result of sin has no effect on her; it cannot reach her there.

Rejoice!

During all of this, we completed our second weekend of Lucifer's Lies.  Our King has used this to reach many through our efforts.  In the words of our director, He has "planted seeds.  Some have been watered, others pruned, and still others ready for the Harvest."

He is not done, though.  As of last night, we had a waiting list of approximately 150 people.  The word has spread from the very beginning of those who had seen the first performance and knew of lost family members and friends who needed to see it.  
We have extended the performances to this coming weekend on Saturday, the 5th of November, and Sunday, the 6th.

To date, there have been 24 salvations, 44 re-dedications, 5 assurances, and 7 other decisions of faith.

"I exalt You, my God the King,
and praise Your name forever and ever.
I will praise You every day; 
I will honor Your name forever and ever.
Yahweh is great and is highly praised;
His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation will declare Your works to the next
and will proclaim Your mighty acts.
I will speak of Your splendor and glorious majesty
and Your wonderful works.
They will proclaim the power of Your awe-inspiring acts,
and I will declare Your greatness.
They will give a testimony of Your great goodness
and will joyfully sing of Your righteousness."
Psalm 145:1-7 (HCSB)

Joyfully His,
Elisera
