❤️ HAPPY HALLELUJAH 2026 — TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY! 🙌🏼
First and foremost… THANK YOU, LORD. 🥹
Thank You for another opportunity to love on Your people. Thank You for every family, every conversation, every prayer and every seed planted. Thank You for allowing us to be vessels for Your Kingdom.
Because THAT is the heart behind Happy Hallelujah. JESUS. Nothing more, nothing less.
Last night, as I stood serving popcorn, I looked over at the prayer tent, and there were moments when IT WAS FULL. I watched people with tears streaming down their faces, being prayed over and loved on.
You won't see many pictures from underneath that tent, simply because we wanted to honor & respect the privacy of those receiving prayer. But what was happening under there was far more beautiful than any picture could capture. 🥹
THIS. IS. WHY.
People were encountering JESUS. Souls were being saved. Hearts were being stirred. People were receiving prayer, revelation and a renewed hunger for the Lord.
The Kingdom impact of what took place in Barnesville on October 31 is something we may never fully measure this side of Heaven. And that is genuinely BEAUTIFUL.
❤️ A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO Brittany Taylor!
A few years ago, Brittany started Happy Hallelujah right in her own cul-de-sac. Her family had chosen not to participate in Halloween, but the Lord placed something on her heart: Instead of simply staying inside, why not use this evening as an opportunity to minister to people and be the light?
When Brittany and I connected, I shared that I wanted my children to experience something different too. I wanted them to learn what it looks like to serve others, love their community and share Jesus with the people around them.
So together, we brought her vision to Barnesville!
For us, choosing not to celebrate Halloween has never been about being afraid. It's about conviction & reverence for the Lord and being intentional about what we choose to participate in.
Instead of focusing on what we don't celebrate, we wanted to use October 31 to share WHO we DO celebrate — JESUS! 🙌🏼
Last year was our first Happy Hallelujah in Barnesville, and this year the Lord allowed it to grow even more!
❤️ NOW, TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS EVENING POSSIBLE…
First, a huge THANK YOU to the Barnesville Police Department. 🚔 Belinda, it was such a pleasure meeting you! We are incredibly grateful for you and your team and everything y’all do to help keep our streets safe throughout the evening.

We truly could NEVER thank you enough. 🥹❤️
Because of your generosity, families were able to enjoy FREE games, face painting, temporary tattoos, popcorn, hot chocolate, Bibles, devotionals and 900 HOT DOGS! 🌭🙌🏼
And beyond the donations came the hours of planning, preparing, setting up, serving and cleaning up. So many willing hands and hearts came together to make this evening possible.
One thing I love most about Happy Hallelujah is that the people who make it happen aren't looking for recognition. They genuinely love Jesus and have a heart to serve others.
We are so thankful for every business, church, family and individual who chose to be part of this outreach. We want you to know how deeply appreciated you are, even though the heart of this event has never been about who gave what or who did the most.
It's about lifting up ONE name — JESUS. ❤️
Every donation, every hour volunteered and every act of service helped create an opportunity for someone to encounter Him. You were His hands and feet, and we pray the Lord blesses every seed you sowed.
Please know that if you were involved in ANY way, we could never thank you enough. The love poured into Barnesville on October 31 was something truly special.
And y'all… WE'RE ALREADY EXCITED FOR NEXT YEAR! 🥹
Our hope is to begin planning in April! If you have a heart to serve, give or be part of Happy Hallelujah 2027, please reach out. We would love to have you!
There is no spotlight here except the one shining on JESUS.
Lord, keep using us. Keep sending the people. Keep stirring hearts. And may we never lose sight of the WHY.
ALL GLORY, ALL HONOR, ALL PRAISE — TO JESUS. 🙌🏼❤️
