Jesus Lives!

Jesus did some amazing things at my church, here that recaps in detail but I’ll list some of the things:

Over 8,000 people attended Easter services on Sunday
Our Eastside campus completely filled up the Easter services and people had to listen outside the building on speakers
Around 3,700 people came on Friday night to attend the Good Friday services. We came to the 7pm service at Ballard which was completely full with a couple hundred people trying to get in outside. We ended up coming back for the 9pm service.
Over 200 people were baptized on Sunday, most of them deciding to just get baptized then and there.
Many, many people met Jesus for the first time.

Below is a video of some of the baptisms.

Driscoll’s words:

Yesterday while singing with the congregation at each of the five services I preach live, I could not stop weeping. People were singing loudly with their hands in the air. They cheered all day as people came forward to give their lives to Jesus and be baptized. The pastors were up front laying hands on people, praying over them, and leading them to Christ by the dozens at every service. I stood off to the side during the singing to watch what God was doing and multiple people walked up to me weeping and asked me to pray with them to become a Christian. I met people who had flown in from out of state and out of country to celebrate Easter with us. I even met a couple who had organized their honeymoon to spend Easter with us before flying home to South Carolina. And I only got to see a fraction of what God was doing.
