Story number 4 for 30 Aug 2000

Meanwhile, churches are binding together to reach their communities for Christ, thanks in part to the 50 Spiritual Adventure. Mainstay Church Resources produced this years Spiritual Adventure called Celebrate Jesus. Pastor Andrew Beaty of Yankton, South Dakota says it’s helped their community start a Lighthouse of Prayer program. “We have a map of the city that has been passed around to each of these participating churches to mark places where their people are meeting for Lighthouses of Prayer.” Beaty says Yankton is now being bathed in prayer. He says the program will encourage evangelism. “The 50 Day Adventure is a rapid time of spiritual growth. If we can continuously each year, kind of, give people a shot in the arm, focusing in on their spiritual growth, eventually we’ll see more and more people catch that picture.”
