‘God Is Moving’: Texas Church ‘Blown Away’ After 1,114 People Raise Phone Flashlights to Indicate They’ve Accepted Christ During Annual Christmas Show By Billy Hallowell for Faith Wire
For anyone who might doubt or underestimate the power of annual church Christmas shows to transform hearts and minds, look no further than Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, where 1,114 people recently came to faith.
The church, led by Pastor Jarrett Stephens, saw a remarkable outpouring of faith committments while running its annual Christmas Spectacular show from Dec. 8-12, the Baptist Press reported.
Something incredible happened each night during the show — a powerful spectacle with music, lights, and awe-inspiring performances — when Stephens shared the gospel and asked people to hold up the flashlight on their cell phones if they had, indeed, decided to accept Jesus.

In the end, more than 1,100 lights shined bright, symbolizing these stunning personal committments to allow God to transform individual hearts and minds.
“God is moving and to Him be the glory. It is all about Him,” Stephens told Baptist Press. ‘I’m amazed and our team is blown away by the response.”
“ELEVEN HUNDRED lives changed for eternity!” the statement continued. “THIS is what it’s all about. Forever changed because of the power of the GOSPEL.”
Each one of the individuals who committed their lives to Christ received a Bible and had follow-up from a member of Champion Forest Baptist Church within 48 hours.
