This Valentine’s Day, we planned a romantic,
evangelistic dinner for couples in the church and the community.
The mood was
successfully romantic- with red heart decorations and candles
prepared by the
youth group, an Italian dinner prepared by one of the brothers in the congregation,
couples’ photos, the movie “Fireproof”, a movie-ticket raffle, and a Biblical
message on God’s plan and salvation for marriages in Jesus Christ. The youth also provided childcare, so the
couples could enjoy a true date-night
Sixteen
couples attended (a third of which do not attend church), and left
floating-on-air! One couple commented
afterward: “Wow- is that what Christians are like?” in
amazement at the love
they saw and felt. Two of the couples
had never experienced a restaurant dinner with their spouse before in all their
years together- it was a romantic first for them! Another of the new couple attended church the
following week with us.
We pray that
the LOVE of JESUS CHRIST will fill each of the lives and marriages of these
couples!
