Busted eye and 15 decisions

We're in Branson, Mo tonight. We left Rockwall, Texas Wednesday night at about 2 a.m. and made it to Branson by 10 or so this morning.
We set up our wrestling ring, ate some lunch and then headed to the hotel for a few hours of naping.
Our show started at 6:30 p.m. tonight and nearly 250 kids showed up.
It was a great atmosphere and everybody did a great job.
We did have a somewhat minor injury tonight.
When taking a move, Phil "The Bishop" Barron was thumbed in the eye and got a nice shiner as well as a 3/4 inch gash below his eye.
He powdered out of the ring pretty quickly, but carried on shortly there after.
He finished the match and then came back to give the Gospel presentation at the end, bag of ice, bloody towel and all.
God really spoke through him and he was able to use his accident to tell everyone that despite his sacrifice, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was so much greater - even unto death.
15 people made a response of some kind, including eight people who accepted Christ for the very first time.
Well, we're back at the hotel tonight and plan to hit the road by 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.
We'll be in Iowa for another show tomorrow night.

How you can pray:
Praise God for souls that He touched tonight. Pray that they will get plugged into the church and grow closer to God. Also pray for Phil as he's still waiting at the local hospital for stiches. And pray for safe travel tomorrow.
