Mike Hagen's Strength Team visits town



Okay, this week has been busy chasing down an awesome group of guys, who have a great passion for sharing the Lord with others. Beginning Wednesday, Mike Hagen's Strength Team (www.strengthteam.com) was in town. My church, Neighborhood Assemblies of God Church (www.neighborhoodchurc.org)planned the event for the last year. In all 15 school assemblies were part of the team's agenda. They, of course, could only mention the Lord at two assemblies. But, they were able to draw the attention of all these children, packing our church each evening. Tonight was the final demonstration and I have to say it was awesome. The team members visiting our area included the founder of the team and former Seattle Seahawk Mike Hagen, former Florida State football player Clarence Lee, former linebacker for the Washington Huskies Herb Hartso, Ronnie Moss and former wrestler Greg Mead.

These guys deliver a message of strength in both body and heart. They may perform fetes of physical strength, but there fetes of "heart strength" and character far surmount any physical accomplishments. They have hearts for Christ. They may seem crazy to some, but I like to say they are crazy for Christ. They reach out and grab the attention of hundreds, if not thousands.

As of last night, almost 500 people who attended the church's nightly demonstrations had accepted Christ. That is a fete that is most amazing.

So, anyone ever getting an opportunity to meet with or attend one of the Strength Team demonstrations, I truly encourage it.
