Thousands were touched by FreedomFEST 2007.

Christ on the Mall - FreedomFEST 2007 was a great success! This year, we focused on sharing, connecting and loving within the body of Christ. Our theme verses from the Bible is John 17:20-26, in which Jesus prays that all believers can be united as one.

This year we again held the event on over two city blocks of space in front of the Air & Space Museum to share Christ through music, drama, free water giveaway, kids activities, one on one connecting with people in the crowds and with people at our prayer tent. We handed out approximately 15,000 gospel tracts to share the good news.  Central Union Mission distributed 50,000 cups of free water that allowed volunteers to connect with people that came out for the festivities on the mall that day.  This provided opportunities to witness to them when they were asked “Why are you doing this?”  Most people responded positively and some engaged our volunteers in deeper spiritual discussion.

We had over 150 volunteers that came from a total of 18 churches from the local area, Seattle, Indianapolis and Nova Scotia, Canada. We were blessed to have so many people come down with the desire to reach out to the lost. As a result of their efforts, we have 41 documented salvations, but there were many more who came into a relationship with Christ but couldn't leave their contact information.

We pray that, over the upcoming months, we will have the opportunity to connect to many more local churches and ministries so that they can also catch the vision and realize that this is one of the biggest evangelistic opportunities in the DC area. We are hoping that more people will choose to participate next year and we have already begun planning for FreedomFEST 2008.

Our sincerest appreciation goes out to those individuals and churches who provided financial support, but most of all, we wish to thank all of the volunteers, the bands, and especially our sponsors - Metro Community Ministries, Central Union Mission and WAVA Radio.

We also want to thank American Tract Society and Good New Publishers for donating over 15,000 tracts.  Thanks also goes out to Dare 2 Share Ministries for providing training and gospel tracts used to share the gospel at FreedomFEST 2007.
