Summary of City Reach Ft. Worth

Today's post is Summary of City Reach Ft. Worth. I am still moved when I think about folks that were touched during that meeting. I appreciate the churches and Pastors that carried our burden. Their efforts made the difference and God blessed it all.





We are now in the midst of our second City Reach campaign since we finished up in Ft Worth but I want to share some thoughts and the links for City Reach Ft Worth with you.

City Reach Ft. Worth was a success because of the participation of the local churches and the Pastors. They prayed, they worked, they worshiped and they witnessed. I do not want to even attempt this without the local churches. Their input, their prayers, and their participation are critical to the success of these meetings.

Therefore I am thrilled when Pastors and churches join in the effort and see the benefit of joining with us to reach souls. You hear me talk about City Reach all the time. You hear me talk about people praying and lives that are touched. But I think it is important for you to hear that from a different perspective.

Two of the Pastors involved in City Reach have written their perspective and I want to pass their thoughts on to you. 

From Pastor Richard Franks:

I was thrilled to be a part of Fort Worth City Reach. The response to the out reach was amazing. To see the needs of hurting souls being met was such a blessing. Our burden to go out into the hi-ways and hedges and compel them to come in has been renewed. Working with the Boggs family and the area Pastors has been a pleasure.

From Pastor J.J. Stevens:

City Reach Fort Worth


     What a tremendous time we had at City Reach Fort Worth! It was an eye opening experience. I feel as though we have tried to be sensitive to souls around us. I thought we understood that there were people hurting around us, but I didn't realize just how many. It seemed as though that everyone that prayed at City Reach were hurting. Every one of them were presented with the Gospel for help and hope for their hurting hearts. It was so encouraging to see those receive the help that they needed. There was someone praying for salvation just about every night. Several nights there was more than one in the altars praying for salvation. Also, there were two that testified of healing. For this, our church will not be the same!

     We are thankful for the opportunity to try to continue to help a few of those that prayed at City Reach. There is nothing better for a church than to have new converts! Since City Reach, we have had visitors just about every service. Some are friends we made during the revival, but others have just walked in over the last few weeks. It seems like God is still blessing the prayers and efforts our church put into City Reach Fort Worth.
     I am thankful for the opportunity to work with Bro. Jack Blankenship, Bro. Richard Frank, and Bro. Phillip Bernard. I appreciate their fellowship and friendships! 
     Also, thank you to the Boggs Family Ministries and Bro. Jimmy Radcliffe. The burden they have for the lost and broken is stirring, their organization and efficiency is inspiring, and their commitment to City Reach is convicting. Thank God for brothers and sisters in Christ that are willing to reach the lost at all cost!
     Lastly, I am thankful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It is He that saves, sets free, delivers, and heals us. What great hope there is in Him!
