CROSSOVER ARLINGTON: Team Impact is Back!
by Norm Miller
Hoping for a repeat of the success that God
brought through Team Impact at the SBTC’s
Crossover Amarillo two years ago, Jack Harris
looks forward to another spiritual harvest at Crossover
Arlington, Nov. 9 and 10, that precedes the annual state
convention meeting.
The two Team Impact events at Lamar Baptist Church
in Arlington will be on successive nights at 7 p.m., said
Harris, the SBTC’s senior associate for Personal/Event
Evangelism.
“Team Impact usually attracts more children and teens
than adults,” Harris said. “But I want to encourage parents
to not merely send their children, but to bring them.
Team Impact’s program holds something for every age.”
“We’re also asking for church members to bring their
lost friends,” he said. “So, we need trained spiritual counselors
for both nights.
“And we especially want church leaders to be ready
to come forward with those from their groups who may
respond at the invitation time,” added Harris, who noted
that the event was for the benefit of all churches.
“We’re especially grateful to the folks at Lamar Baptist
Church for allowing us to use their facilities,” he said.
Volunteers are needed for both Team Impact nights“to help set up and clean up,” he said. “They break a lot
of stuff, you know.”
Sandwiched between the Team Impact nights is the
usual Crossover activity of evangelistic surveying in which
teams will gather briefly at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10,
at several churches in Arlington listed below, and then
disperse throughout the city, going door-to-door in various
neighborhoods with the survey. Since Arlington is
the host city for the Nov. 12-13 annual state convention,
local Arlington SBTC churches were invited to participate.
“This opportunity is designed to give the lost people
of Arlington a chance to hear the Gospel,” Harris said. “And, we hope to gather hundreds of new prospects for
all our churches in the area.”
All volunteers, whether for the Team Impact nights or
the evangelistic survey teams, should register as soon as
possible, Harris said. Persons interested in helping with
these efforts should email jdean@sbtexas.com. Or, volunteers
may call, toll free, 877.953.7282 and ask for Jennifer
Dean.
