THE BOOT CAMP EXPERIENCE WAS LIFE CHANGING

I honestly don't know where to start. My heart is so overwhelmed. Pastor Matt Maddix has left an impression on my life I will never forget nor be the same again. I can tell you I never expected to be so drastically changed.
My first thanks would be to Bro Nathaniel for bringing us Soul Winners Boot camp. My pastor who said yes to him and so on. Bro Nathaniel's decision to bring us this event has forever changed the city of Hollister and our church as we knew it.
I believe with All of my heart and All of my soul the burden Pastor Matt Maddix birthed in our church is the message every church in America should hear. Bro. Arcovio has a message and a burden that goes right along with Pastor Maddix. They should hook up.
My heart is so full of things I am struggling to get it written into words. My heart is on fire. That's how I feel. I cant look at people the same. I just want to stop and talk to everyone I know about Jesus. I feel guilty if I don't. God spoke to me so clearly in this revival and said to me. This is your purpose. This is the purpose of your life. I always wondered about tomorrow and how everything would turn out. I could care less about my future now. I know I'm going to heaven and I want to take as many people as I can with me.
The saying is true, You take care of Gods stuff and He will take care of yours. It IS just that simple.
I cant even describe the passion that has ignited my spirit for soul winning. When you hear Pastor Maddix share his burden and share his testimony you cant help but let God grip your soul. I cried most of the time he preached because I felt such a burden for what he was saying. I watched this man spend every ounce of energy he had to get a hold of us. Then I watched him and his team in action exhausted but fervent for Jesus. They pushed and pushed until they broke through.
And did we ever break through. I got it. I embraced it and it changed who I am.
When he talked about getting to a place in prayer where nothing offended you. I thought now that is a place I want to be. I am going to be!!! In Jesus name. I came out of this knowing there is NOTHING my God cant do.
I watched people lost and going to hell repent and get baptized and receive the Holy Ghost out in the streets in front of my face. It was amazing! I watched this team of men literally take over our city. I watched our youth full of the Holy Ghost praying with people in the park putting into action the soul winning plan. I have to take the time to say I have NEVER worked with a group of young people like the youth in Hollister. I LOVE each and every one of them so much. The passion and loyalty and love for God and each other is rare. I was so proud of them and I see they are a product of awesome leadership. Bro. Kirk and Sis Tena are priceless in the kingdom of God. They have mentored these young people and nurtured them into great saints of God. Our pastor and his wife have just loved all the good into them and it shows!!
I could start naming something so special and unique about each one. Thats another post. I just had to say I am honored to be part of their lives. My husband and I spend a lot of time with them and we love every minute!!
Speaking of my husband. Where do I start? Get ready salinas, there is a soul winner on the loose!!!! He is armed and looking for you!! lol
I dont know this man but I sure love him!!! lol
It just goes on and on. I feel so privileged to have been a part of this. I am going to write a personal letter of thanks to Pastor Maddix for ALL they did in Hollister. Sunday my daughter received the Holy Ghost after Bro Josh spent time praying her through. You sir will always remain a very special part of my prayers and heart. Bro Josh Combs is a children's minister and he is a soldier for Jesus. What remarkable young man. Lord Bless him. In closing I will say if anyone didnt catch the vision and burden for soul winning after this you wont. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and if you didnt catch it under the powerful anointing we had well God help ya. I am very close to having one of my lifetime prayers being answered.
Pastor Maddix, Bro. Downs, Bro. Smith and Bro Travis,Bro Josh, mom and granny and uncle. What a team!!! What a blessing. What a vision! You are forever in my prayers and I pray that America catches the vision. This is missions in America. Every church in America needs to experience this. It was an honor to be a part of Soul Winners Bootcamp. Thanks, Bro Than! Thank you Pastor and Sis Hurst for allowing us one of the greatest blessings Hollister has ever seen.
Now the work begins! Lets labor together!!!
