Our church learned from Revolution church's mistakes....however, we had our own fun when we tried a hot air balloon instead of a helicopter to drop the eggs...then a gust of wind came up. The tether line broke and we almost took out the field lights. Other than that, it went very well! About 10,000+ people and many have come to our church since and a few have accepted Jesus into their hearts and gotten involved. They can't wait to be volunteers for our next event!

They have more courage than most to want to do it again.
