subject: Caravan Of Cars [print this page] Now that was a big step, a step that we put off for years. It took us a total of 22 hours a weekend to set up and tear down an entire church that we would build inside the confines of the high school every single weekend. We were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to movers just to do this along with using hundreds of volunteers to make this happen. The sound was not as good. The sight lines werent as good, yet God, again, was all over this; and we jumped and exploded and continued to grow. Lets look at old MacArthur High School for a second. This might bring back fond memories to a lot of you folks who helped set up and tear down. It happened every weekend.
For eight long years we were in rented facilities, setting up and tearing down in one way or anotheruntil that day. I am talking about the day of all days in this God-made decadeApril 5. On April 5th, we moved from our rented facilities to this brand new building. It was like we left Egypt and entered into the Promised Land. We wanted to have a defining moment time, so we decided to meet in our cars at the MacArthur High School parking lot and do a caravan of cars from MacArthur in Irvingabout 13 milesto this beautiful setting in Grapevine. So we did, and we called it the Caravan of Cars. Let me show you this video.
Ed Young Pastor says I remember showing up, and I was all choked up just seeing the response and thinking about all the sacrifice and the work and the love and the things that God had done over the years to bring this to fruition. That is me in the Hummer. I have a friend of mine who let me drive his Hummer. I got to keep it one extra day, too. That was fun. We barely got all of the lights and the sound working that day. It was a miracle that the whole thing came off, Ill tell you. Lets thank our media department for putting that together.
