water coffin scare

wednesday was the last night of a very succesful freedom experience. we almost got shut down for some stupid reasons beyond our control but God let the show go on. also the tropical storm dissipated and it barely even rained. it was standing room only, with a little over 2000 people crammed into the place. 80% of the people who attended dont go to church. we saw many get saved. many more heard the gospel for the first time.
the people came to see the water coffin. i get people from the audience to bring chain and locks and have an audience member chain me up. then i go underwater and escape. tonight was a very close call. i was stuck underwater. i didnt panic, i didnt worry but i thought "tonight is the night i wont get out". i really wrestled with the chains. im not kiddn, i was truly in trouble. after 2 and a half minutes i got out. my wrist was bleeding and i was totally out of breath. it was all worth it to see people listen to the gospel. this was a very good freedom experience. i will remember it for 2 reasons, the great people we worked with here in florida and the water coffin scare.

before you even entered, when the bmx guys were doing their triceks, as i was praying for their safety, i was praying that God would help you be calm and that you wouldn't have too much trouble, as i was praying my hardest, i heard the chains clanging around, 30 seconds after that, you were out, and as soon as you came up, i thanked God for it! Brock, you rock!(yes, i know that rhymes!)

Brock, you and the crew were just wonderful. I sat there in amazement, just as I sat in Church when my Pastor told us that he was forming prayer/study groups in the schools with the consent of the Superintendent of Schools in Flagler County. I am so proud of you with using your God given talents to minister in such a profound way. I am so proud of the rest of your team. They also love what they do and it shines. There was sooo much hope in that place and victory!!God reigns. I have been praying that my son will come to understand the love the Lord has for him and that he would accept Jesus as his Saviour. I am thankful to God that my son has been ministered to by such great role models who clearly love the Lord as you all do. Thank you for helping me to see more clearly in my Christian walk and during my "return home." Your ministry strengthened my faith and gave me great hope and understanding in God's love for his children.
