This last Sunday we talked about everyone in the body of Christ is important. Which is very true ... they are placed there by God for a particular reason. The first reason is that you came into a living and lasting relationship with him.
Pastor Jack Hayford, president of The Foursquare Church, commented on the salvation's that were experienced in Foursquare churches outside the US churches by saying, “I praise the Lord for His faithfulness and blessing upon our churches around the globe. Rejoice with me as we celebrate the more than 2 million new souls born into the Kingdom in 2008. That is 6,768 souls saved every day--and that does not include those born again in Foursquare churches throughout the U.S.! We have already begun to experience God’s ‘plenteous redemption.’”
Here are the numbers.
In 2008 Foursquare Europe planted 17 new churches, and India, with a renewed vision for church planting, started more than 20 churches. Fiji had its first official convention and ordained 27 new pastors. God is moving in powerful ways; our prayers, along with the investments we have made in leadership development, are bearing much fruit.
Last year our overseas ministries reported the following:
- Salvations
2,470,219 (53% increase) - Water Baptisms
628,200 (47% increase) - Holy Spirit Baptisms
794,165 (82% increase) - Members
3,770,789 (6% increase) - Churches
57,761 (7% increase) - Ministers
63,286 (3% increase) - Bible Colleges/Inst.
1,363 (191% increase)
Have a great day
David
