Does God Exist? and John Clayton

We had a great weekend October 6-8! John Clayton was here and spoke numerous times for us. On Friday and Saturday evenings we rented a local middle school and he spoke on God's existence, the nature of God, and Christianity compared to other religions. Saturday morning, he spoke at our building for a Sunday School Workshop. He spoke three times for us on Sunday: on the church, his personal conversion from atheism, and the problem of suffering.

It was well attended, with about 100 people at each session except for the Sunday School Workshop. About half were visitors on Fri and Sat and we had 5-10 visitors at each service on Sunday. A lot of people from the community have asked for more info.

Some of my favorite moments from the weekend:

• His story from his pre-Christian days of catching his atheist friend in the hospital praying
• Learning that the Earth is perfectly placed in our solar system to protect us from comets
• Hearing stories of what atheists (and sadly, our own brethren) have done to him
• His challenge Sunday evening to use whatever pain or tragedy has occurred in our life to help/serve others who are hurting in the same way
• Saying that most people are atheists for the same reason many are Christians--being brainwashed by our parents

He is a faithful brother using his gifts and experience to serve the Kingdom. I encourage you to find out more about him and his ministry. Consider using him to reach out in your community.
