Shannon Ethridge's Blog

For those of you who prayed with us concerning our recent event in El Paso, TX–we’re thrilled to report it was a tremendous success!

With over 2000, primarily Spanish-speaking women from all over the U.S. and Mexico in attendance, we were a bit nervous the message might literally be ‘lost in translation’.  However, even a language barrier couldn’t prevent the truth of God’s transformative, redemptive nature from penetrating hearts!  The women responded spectacularly.  Sitting in our hotel room following the event, Shannon and I were astonished to find that we sold almost 1000 books (aka 1000 sown seeds!) at the book table over the course of a few hours.  Humbled, we thanked God for the privilege of speaking and sowing into lives and hearts on His behalf, and prayed each seed might impact marriages and families for generations to come.

A HUGE thank you to Pastors Chris and Haydee Richards of Vino Nuevo for hosting us!  It was such an honor.  http://www.vinonuevoelpaso.com/

We were so thankful for Haydee, who also served as Shannon’s translator.

A powerful close to the weekend–the ladies waving white (tissue) flags of surrender to the Lord!
