Sixty thousand people in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium would seem like a mass of humanity to most of us. But not to Jaye Webster. Webster has seen the results of such partnering in his professional life.
Strawberries come in, strawberries go out.
The same principle applies in evangelism accomplished through big events, says Webster. He saw it firsthand when a Billy Graham Crusade visited nearby Tampa. For months, even years, the crusade was planned by churches and associations of churches, which have the experience and resources to handle such a huge undertaking. But the churches and associations were made up of individuals like Jaye and Deedee Webster, who staffed the event when the big week finally arrived. Volunteers paired up with people who made their way down the concrete steps of the stadium, onto the grassy field and finally to the front of the stage, where they made a public commitment to follow Christ.
