Today we are praying for Scene 4, directed by Lloyd & Shelia McCune.  The Judgement scene is always a very emotional scene and it is intended to make people think about their own eternity and how their decisions in this life will affect that.

Pray also for delivery of the curtains. They have made it to Wichita and they are sitting at the UPS Freight Center, but I’m unable to contact anyone there to see if I could pick them up earlier.  Right now they are scheduled to arrive on Monday, but we would love to have them earlier.

Thanks for praying about the casket dolly. We had an offer just minutes after the prayer request went out!  That is so awesome!

Today we are praying for our registration & on deck team.  This team interacts with all types of people with different personalities and needs.  They have to handle thousands of walk-ins who might have a long wait on certain nights.  Pray that they work as a team to process all the people coming through, having the wisdom to know what to do when an unusual situation pops up that they have to handle.

Also, we are looking for a hospital bed for one of our scenes. If you have one we can borrow for a couple of weeks, please contact me as soon as possible.

Today we are praying for the Tour Guides as the prepare to take groups through the JH tour.  There is lots of memorization for this role in JH.  Also, they experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows watching people react to the gospel in different ways.  Pray that their voices will be strong and they will keep smiling and showing God’s love to our community. Also pray for some equipment that should be arriving Monday. It is a week late getting here and we really need it to show up the beginning of this week.

Tomorrow is your final chance to order a Judgement House t-shirt with the Invasion logo. Just use the link to order your shirt today. T-shirts are $10 each and must be pre-ordered. This is a great way to start advertising Judgement House in the community. Shirts will be available for pick-up at the NewSpring store on the weekend of October 2/3.

Debbie and I have had a great few days spending time with the Judgement House leadership team. About once a year we have the opportunity to share stories and encouragement with other JH national trainers from across the country…and the world. Our biggest thrill this trip was our chance to meet Kathy. Last fall, Kathy attended Judgement House for the first time when she was invited by a friend. The drama she saw was “Unexpected,” a script that originated at NewSpring in 2008. As Kathy walked through each scene, she began to identify with the “perfect mom” who made preparations to care for everyone around her but never made preparation for her own eternity. She told us, “That was me…I was that mom.”  All of a sudden she realized that she had never made that preparation for eternity either. We are excited to tell you that Kathy took care of that issue that night. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior and now she knows that she will spend eternity with Him in heaven.

It was just so cool to hear her repeat the words of the script back to Debbie and me.  I can’t say how much I appreciate Debbie taking so much time to help me write the “Unexpected” script.  We work together wrestling through ideas and wording that will connect to people who will be going through the tour.  Special thanks to all you NewSpringers who help us do Judgement House each year and Sarah who takes video footage and puts it together to make training videos for other churches.  Not until you get to heaven will you ever know how much impact your service has had on other people.
