North Texas Go Tell Servants/Leaders/Supporters:

For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.  Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.  Habakkuk 2:3

This verse came to mind as we bring you an update on the North Texas Go Tell Crusade.  It should come as no surprise that the decision has been made by the executive team and Go Tell America Ministry to postpone the event scheduled for the last week in April.  In a united effort to comply with CDC recommendations related to COVID-19, it is clear that postponing is the only responsible decision.  Romans 13:1 says “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.  For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” 

As servants of the most-high God, we have faith that our Father is in complete control and firmly believe that this event will only pick up momentum with God’s perfect timing!  In a practical sense, we know there will be questions, and would like to assure you of a few things up front.

• North Texas Go Tell WILL HAPPEN (barring the second coming of our Lord!)   There is no question of cancelling – only of praying for guidance for clarity on God’s timing.   Rest assured that the leadership team will continue to work and pray diligently, and will keep you updated as decisions are made.

• This event has clearly been blessed from the onset, as an amazing number of churches from Wise, Jack, Montague, Denton Counties and beyond have unified to lead the lost to the Gates of Heaven.  Approximately 480 people attended the North Texas Go Tell Kickoff Banquet.   Over 600 volunteers came together to prepare the Saturate USA packets that will be dispersed door to door.  Needed funds were quickly raised!  As further evidence of God’s blessing over this endeavor, rest assured that the funds are still available, and will be held in reserve in this community for the rescheduled event.  If you have specific questions about funding, please feel free to contact a member of the Finance Committee.

• The working committees including Publicity, Finance, Counseling and Discipleship, Security, Prayer, Outreach, Hospitality, Youth, Arrangements, Usher, Music and Hispanic Outreach are all still in place and seamlessly shifting toward the new plan.  Hundreds of volunteers have signed up and continue to work tirelessly toward the ultimate goal of leading the men, women and youth of our community to Christ!

During this time of national uncertainty and economic distress, it is more important than ever for all of God’s servants to truly unify as the Body of Christ.  Together, we continue to reach out as an extension of our Father’s heart to help those in need, and to share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.  As we move forward in preparation for the North Texas Go Tell Crusade, we challenge you to spend this God-given time to creatively reach out to the lost.  The Crusade is only one way of bringing more people into the glorious light of our Lord!
