There was a true move of God in Birmingham. You could see the despair among many folks there and God lifted up a lot of people who were on their last legs, so to speak. I've never seen so many people hungry for Jesus at one place. That alone was worth going.I'm praying that some folks will join and contribute to SI. After having spend a lot of time with some pastors from various places, I have a better feel of the difficulties in the ministry. It's easy to forget that's it's all about Jesus. It's easy to lose that focus even if you're not a minister.As for me spiritually, God encouraged me so much. I've been in a such a dry place spiritually and I was just overwhelmed by the presence of God. Brother Dave gave a very short talk (less than 25 minutes), which was a synposis on unbelief. If the Holy Spirit has shown you this is an issue you need to deal with, you need to hear this.We played it back on the way back from the airport and suffice it to say we couldn't speak. That's how it was today as well.It's so encouraging to see that there are those who are willing not to compromise, preach the word of God with power and authority in love, and endure. I was encouraged, as were many others.To God be the glory!Ed
