"The Evangelist Stretch"
ELEVATE 6.8
Gail and I have found it very humorous that we are often branded based on what we do at a church. For instance, we've done a variety of VBS's for churches, and they call us "Children's Evangelists". We've done youth services and rallies...we're "Youth Evangelists", etc!
Whole In One has done everything from Kids to Seniors and EVERYTHING in between. In fact, just yesterday, we had the privilege of ministering at Jerseyville First Assembly (Jerseyville, IL.) at the senior saints "Gospel Sing" from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and at Elevate 6.8, the Junior High youth service, from 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM. There aren't too many evangelists that can do that effectively.
We had a wonderful time in the morning service, where we sang heaven focused hymns and shared some special Southern Gospel style music. Our line up for the evening Junior High services was, well, a little different!! From an interactive drama to music to a challenging message to "Elevate your Ears, your Eyes, and your Expectation". Over 15 young people responded to take that first step toward a new relationship with Jesus Christ.
The services were both very different, but powerful and effective. We are so grateful to God for allowing us the opportunity to share His incredible message of hope with so many different people of varying age groups.

Following the Elevate service, we coached their Human Video team. A huge thank you to Senior Pastors, Randy and Kathy Cartwright, and Youth Pastors, Shaun & Shelly Williamson!! Here are some pictures to highlight those events.
