Crossover yields 696 salvation decisions

CORPUS CHRISTI?The SBTC’s Crossover evangelistic effort in Corpus Christi resulted in 696 salvation decisions recorded following a strength and power exhibition and gospel presentation by Team Impact, a Coppell-based ministry.

More than 5,000 people filled the American Bank Center exhibition hall on Nov. 13 preceding the SBTC Bible Conference and Annual Meeting for the annual Crossover event. In the week prior, Team Impact combined its power and strength feats with character talks in dozens of Corpus Christi area schools, inviting students and their families to the Team Impact event.

Jack Harris, SBTC associate for personal and event evangelism, said Southern Baptist churches in the Corpus Christi area would be following up on those who made decisions.

Initially, 493 salvation decisions were reported, but additional decision cards were turned in later. Harris estimated that about 1,500 people stood to signify they had prayed a prayer of salvation, but 696 decision cards were registered.

“God knows who made decisions and who didn’t,” Harris said, “but the gospel was shared very clearly with the 5,082 who were here.”
