Every Number Represents a Life

Seven Mile Miracle Easter at Elevation Church was an amazing experience. Pastor Steven took us through the story of the road to Emmaus, a seven mile journey Jesus walked on the day of His resurrection with two disciples who didn't recognize Him, and the seven last sayings of Christ on the cross. You can watch the whole worship experience here.

Our church was so impacted by this worship experience that we plan to launch a small group DVD curriculum available for churches to use next Easter season.

Easter 2012 was a banner weekend for Elevation Church. With 21,730 people in attendance for our seventh Easter, it was our largest weekend ever and we saw over 1,480 people make public professions of faith in Jesus. As Pastor Steven said this weekend, "Every number represents a life and there's more work to be done."

We'd like to take a moment and share some of those lives that were changed forever this Easter through a few of the #7MileMiracle tweets.

Christy Seay tweeted her joy this weekend when two of her daughters accepted Christ, one in our eKidz program, and one as first time guest, a VIP, at Elevation.

Larry Brey, our University Campus Pastor, shared the story on twitter of Deondra, who almost lost her life last year, saw Pastor Steven in the ICU, decided to come to Elevation for Easter, and gave her life to Christ.

And finally, proving that it's never too late for Christ to change a life, Heather Dooley, the wife of our Blakeney Associate Campus Pastor, Nick, tweeted this photo of Grace, who gave her life to Jesus this weekend at 102 years old.

At Elevation Church, we exist to see those far from God raised to life in Christ, and every statistic, every number, is a life changed, an eternal destination altered. Join with us, as there's so much more to do!
