This Sunday was a district junta (meeting) for Santa Cruz. These juntas take place every three months and are a time when all the district churches come together for a worship service on Sunday morning. But in order to lead up to the junta, each church is encouraged to have three days of evangelistic efforts. Each church is then to report at the junta about its activities and any new converts gained. While not every church participated in the outreach events, several did and there were encouraging reports. Heavenly Zion, the church where I attend on Sunday mornings, reported seven conversions. They went door to door one morning presenting the gospel, showed a film on Friday night at a nearby soccer field, and handed out tracts at the same place on Saturday afternoon.

Rivers of Living Water Church held a children's campaign and reported 35 children responding to the invitation to know Jesus.

The Linage of God church did not report any conversions but there was a new person who came to the evening service that Sunday. So I am thankful for the outreach and the results that there are. As always, the big question is how to incorporate these new people into the church and help them become well established so that they are not simply a decision statistic for the church.
