Weekend Recap
Another incredible day at ROCK Church!
- The band killed it today! You guys ROCK!
- Carolyn served up our announcements via live video from the tech booth. Talk about multi-tasking! Our tech teams are crazy awesome, talented, servant hearted, digerati tech ninjas for Jesus and I love them!
- Attendance was strong again! Thank you for bringing your friends every week.
- Fifteen more people gave their lives to Christ today!
- We have written names all across the front of our stage with the names of people in our lives who need to know how much Jesus loves them. Before first service today, I saw someone kneeling in front of the stage with her friend whose name she had printed on the wall. A few weeks ago, her friend gave her life to Christ and today she drew a heart next to her own name! YEEEEEESSSSS! Whose name have you written on the wall? Do they know Christ yet? Don’t give up!
- Pastor Jackson Senyonga from Christian Life Ministries in Kampala, Uganda was with us and he brought it! His message was “Achieving The Impossible”. If you missed it, you can download the podcast by the end of the day on Tuesday.
- I love technology! Gabriel Twittered his notes live during the message. Check it out.
- My favorite quote of the day was “If you never collide with the devil, maybe you are both headed in the same direction!” That’ll preach… actually, it did!
- Pastor Jackson shared a need for sponsoring orphan homes throughout Uganda. They don’t just house kids in dorm style homes. Instead, they build homes to house 12 children and place a widow in each home to raise them. This not only blesses the children, it blesses the widows!
- ROCK Church, you were extravagantly generous. How generous? Watch this video from Pastor Jackson and then we’ll continue…
- Yes, that’s right. We were able to sponsor eighteen children! Also, through the generosity of our ROCK Church family, two homes will be able to be completely built for the children ($25,000 for each home) with a commitment for another three once those are completed! That represents $125,000 to build homes for sixty orphans with another $1,080 per month sponsorship for children. Once again, I am amazed at the generosity of you ROCKERS.
- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for believing in the work of God’s Kingdom and backing it up with your time and money! You are an extravagantly generous church!
- Have I mentioned lately how much I love ROCK Church?

Sunday was SO amazing! The Word Pastor Jackson brought for ROCK Church was so timely……as least it was for me. I can’t tell you how excited I am about what’s happening all in our church and all over this city. It’s awesome!!!!!!!!
oh and, we’re so excited that our family grew by one little girl named Scovia from Uganda this past Sunday too! Olivia keeps asking us when her new big sister can over over to play with her and her brother. We have made a promise to the kids that we WILL go see her some day.
Pastor Jackson has such a big heart for those children. After first service a young girl came to the table and picked out 2 children to sponsor. I was over whelmed with emotion. Pastor Jackson thanked her profusely. Genuine love is all you see in this man. Thank you ROCK Church for bringing him here again. God has given him a powerful word to carry throughout the world.
May have been 18. Christie just said that the count of sponsored children may have come from the packets that were taken. :>) ROCK CHURCH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are geting it done up there at Rock Church. I love to hear the great stories about generosity, salvations and attendance. God bless you!
Make that 19 children sponsored PB. We picked out a child, as Christie and I opened it and saw the picture of Him we started to cry. I have an awesome testimony/praise report about what God did through me today!!! I will send you an email.
