We just completed a weeks worth of Block parties, backyard bible clubs and sports camp in Pontiac, MI. The Alabama team from Pelham (110 people) came and facilitated while we assisted and we saw a total of 110-115 folks give their life to Christ.
I can honestly say that my core team had no idea what to expect until I made it mandatory that we watch both parts of Brother Bobby's presentations. As the lead planter it helped me to be well organized and focused on the goals that were specific to the outcome in which we wanted to see happen. We saw about 23% of the people who registered give their life to Christ and this was in the midst of a thunderstorm. More people showed up while it was raining and they stayed with an expectation.
Please don't underestimate the effectiveness of these two tools.

What a tremendous report Pastor John. I pray that many others will also watch both presentations so they will have the "BIG Picture" of what will make their special evangelistic events effective. And ... you hit the nail on the head ... it is only a tool. A tool which you saw God use in a mighty way. PTL.

Great job. Bobby came to Hope to train and prep our church. I have been trained at Seminary for Block Parties and in our association. Bobby's training is second to none. We did the prep work etc. And had the block party in the worst downpour in 100 years in Brownsburg and still 100 people came. 5 received Christ and we followed up on all of them. Great job Bobby.
