This is pretty cool... Colonial Williamsburg was filled with people, as locals and tourist came to experience the fife and drummers and the spectacular firework show! This man ( I really apologize, as I can't remember what his name was) and 2 other guys along with him in the pouring rain, set up a stool and stood so Boldly upon it and gave out God's word. They were laughed at and cursed at and were mocked and yet they stood firm in their desire to go out into all nations and give out God's truth to a fallen land! It gives me tingles now as I think back and write about it... The wonderful part is that pretty soon these men were surrounded by men, women, youth and whole families listening! How many people must have heard about God for the first time, or were encouraged to get back on the narrow road, or just be reminded of how great the God they serve is! There was a few families from our church there who gathered to support....as I stood there I thought this is what it must have been like when Jesus came into town and stood and just preached or John the Baptist or Paul or the other disciples! Man it was amazing! If we could all be so bold in our Faith!
"My family and I moved to Williamsburg Virginia after serving in Southern California for 13 years. We began to serve God's people at Calvary Chapel and the Lord took hold of our hearts and led us to Virginia. We heeded God and moved upon His calling on our lives. The Lord directed us to Williamsburg, and since then He has established Calvary Chapel here in the most historic area of the United States! We are very blessed and humbled to be here and used by God." -Pastor Tom Hallman
