John began by sharing our experiences at the International FCM conference in Nashville in July. He showed copies of the daily routine and schedules for all to see.
Randy shared his experience in Oklahoma working with Ricky Henson and the American Indians. 54 accepted Christ this summer. Randy then performed his brand new, beautiful Squared Square with his gospel application—we sometimes feel we have empty lives but God sees us as beautiful when we accept Christ. Randy produced lots of beautiful shiny garlands and a Jesus silk.
Eugene said he pastors a church and does magic from the pulpit. He started doing magic in the mid 1990s at Atlanta Braves games!! Eugene is from Dallas, GA. We are looking forward to getting to know Eugene!!
