Although most of the 75 people in the audience were Christian Scientists from neighboring towns, with maybe 7 visitors, it was an involved group. One new practitioner told me the lecture was “perfect” and gave her fresh ideas to use in praying for patients. Another lady said the two people she’d invited were impressed that prayer was so simple. They told her they wanted to come to church with her. This is an immediate response to their lecture prep on Church Growth.

Two women talked for almost half an hour in their seats, one was obviously a newcomer talking with her friend about what they’d heard. They moved out of the room when we left and were continuing their discussion in the lobby.

Several people mentioned how they related to one or another of the ideas presented. The church was so enthusiastic they talked about scheduling another lecture. It’s wonderful when churches are enthusiastic about lectures and the possibilities for growth and presenting the healing Christ to the community.
