This past weekend marked a major milestone in the life of the America Bless God Campaign. It was over seven years ago that I first had a vision for the re-evangelization of the United States. This past weekend that vision became a reality.
Four churches in Rockdale, the Singles Ministry / Brazilian Mission Team from Great Baptist Church in Austin, and the America Bless God Campaign teamed up to bring evangelism and discipleship to Rockdale. On Friday night, folks attended the basketball team to support the home team. NFL Pro and International PowerTeam member, Keith Davis was on hand.
Saturday morning teams of two or three were sent out to knock on doors in Rockdale. The teams were telling folks about the PowerRally, praying/ministering to people, and sharing the Gospel of Christ. Many great testimonies were heard after the morning visits.
On Saturday evening, approximately 150 people gathered in the stands of the local Junior High gym to see Keith Davis and Joe Reed. They heard the gospel Celebration Choir from Great Hills and Randy Stripling. The gospel was preached in its simplicity and power. Cheers for Jesus were heard throughout the nights, and out of that small crowd, over 24 decisions for Christ were made. The power of the gospel is amazing. And the local churches are ready to disciple those that made decisions. Meadowbrook has been training with the First Steps material.
As I reflect on the weekend I see churches that were stretched into the realm were Jesus calls us to operate. While the Brazilian missions team from Austin is familiar and great at missions in Brazil, yet Rockdale is more like evangelizing in your own backyard. The local Rockdale pastors saw a genuine pursuit of the Great Commission. The local Rockdale church members engaged in something that is not common, and something that can be scary to do in your own home town.
I am so grateful for pastors Rick Hertless and Tim Moore. I am also grateful for Meadowbrook Baptist, Rockdale Christian, St. John's UMC and First Christian Church; all of Rockdale. It was inspiring to see some many eager to engage the community and simply amazing to see such a large percentage of the PowerRally crowd make a decision.
For me this is the beginning of the fulfillment of a prayer and a vision God placed in my heart seven years ago. The wonders of His working are mysterious and beautiful. People are very interested in pursuing simple efforts for the future. Let us be faithful in doing as He has commanded.
God Save the U.S.A.

PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 22, 2009
Contact: Brent Bullock, (512) 914-2242
Commit to Christ Bride Program Launches in Rockdale, Texas
The America Bless God Campaign of Texas is pleased to announce the Commit to Christ Bride program in Rockdale, Texas. Radio and newspaper ads were launched today to help turn attention to the importance of the church. The program includes mission events over the ninety (90) day period from January 22nd through April 21st, 2009, and is aimed at strengthening church attendance in Rockdale.
Local pastors estimated the attendance rate at 12% of Rockdale’s population in the year 2005. The America Bless God Campaign will be measuring church attendance with a unique survey approach, at the beginning of the program and after completion. Successes will be leveraged as the program is executed in other communities.
The program has established mission projects between Rockdale churches and the larger metropolitan area churches. The first of these mission projects is the PowerRally to be held on January 31st at 6 p.m. This effort is a partnership between Great Hill Baptist Church of Austin, Texas and Meadowbrook Baptist of Rockdale. Pastors Tim Moore and Rick Hertless have partnered together with the America Bless God campaign. Rockdale churches of various Christian denominations are involved in the effort. Rockdale area folks attending the PowerRally will see and hear the powerful testimony of former NFL pro-football player, Keith Davis and other influential professionals.
What a privilege it is to be part of the Rockdale Power Rally. It’s a night to bring families and friends, men and women, boys and girls together for an encouraging word; to see for your self un-imaginable feats of strength. It a night to celebrate God’s goodness in song and praise; and to learn the truth of how to grow and build in the sense of God’s purpose and design for your life. The Power Rally will be a night you will long remember and will be forever grateful you were there. - Tim Moore, Missions Minister, Great Hills Baptist Church, Austin, Texas
We are going to spread the gospel of Christ through the PowerRally and other events, and we believe God will do great things by His Spirit to bring help and hope to our community. We look forward to seeing how God will use the efforts, as we prepare ourselves to disciple those who will come to know Christ. - Pastor Rick Hertless, Meadowbrook Baptist Church, Rockdale, Texas
The church plays a central role in shaping our culture and the future of this great society. The America Bless God Campaign is pleased to partner with Christian churches in order to boost the commitment of Americans’ to God. A web-site (http://www.christbride.net/) has been setup specifically to help connect folks in Rockdale to Christ’ Bride, the church.

Commit to His Bride Unveiled
Continuing education and on-the-job training are no foreigners to ministry efforts. We've been working and serving in the America Bless God Campaign for three years, and always we are learning new things, and are open to the changes needed to serve our Lord better.
One of the lessons we learned has led to the launch of a more focused ministry effort in Rockdale, which will serve as a template for going forward. We had billboards in Rockdale for almost two years, and those billboards did their job. Now, we know how to make them work better.
The Commit to His Bride program will launch in Rockdale this January. We're combining a 90 day ad blitz with missions teams on the ground in an effort to strengthen the churches of Rockdale. Learn more about Commit to His Bride and find out how you can be a part of "Commit to His Bride".

Ad Campaign Update
Do you believe that TV, movies, music, and magazines can have a negative impact on culture? I do too. I also believe that they can be used for good purposes as well.
We've been testing out the use of billboards, newspaper, radio and the Internet. We desire to use these to help turn America back to Biblical Morality, and are excited to announce two ad campaigns that are under development: "Take your Bible to School" and "Show Commitment".
We have pulled down the old billboards in Rockdale, and are preparing to re-launch our Rockdale effort and to launch PSAs regarding the Bible in Texas Schools. Read more on our main web-site and consider helping us make these campaigns a reality.
