We used it as an opportunity to preach the Gospel.
Many individuals stayed to pray at the end.
That was the best part.
This year I acted in it too. Funny. I was in a shooting scene with my nephews, the boy's neighbor friend and Ethan. Unfortuantly for Ethan, my part was to fall on top of him to protect him. I think he has bruised ribs from me doing it over and over again.
Sophia was a demon in another scene with the neighbor who is one of her best friend's.
And Parker was a teenager who was in the hospital and died. I honestly cried each time he went to heaven. It broke me up. Tugged this Mommy's heart. And it didn't help that he was wearing my Dad's pajamas with a hospital gown.
We pulled some late nights-- we wouldn't even get home till eleven and then have dinner in addition to the dinner we had before because everyone was starving. I was worried the neighbor kid's Mom would be upset, but she didn't mind at all.
Everyone was completely exhausted by the end.
And then for Halloween night, we had a mini-outreach scene at our house. People seemed to be genuiely thankful for the invitation to church. And Parker got to wear his Werewolf mask.
And who would've guessed it-- Now I have a bad cold and we are headed to our Mother church's Bible conference starting tomorrow night.

I can tell this was an exhausting endeavor, but what a success! That "high" of ushering souls to Christ is so exhilarating!
