The Strength Team

Last night we had the honor to go watch The Strength Team. (some people might have seen them years ago as the Power Team) They were absolutely amazing! The things they can do just with sheer strength alone was unbelievable. But their biggest strength is their faith in Jesus Christ and getting to share it through their ministry.

This is the set up we saw. All those concrete

bricks were broke on the first try.

 Izzy and her Daddy 

                                                                                                This was the only way I could get Olivia's pic.......

The "Fire Chief" breaking wood.

Remember those old heat water bottles your grandmother

use to have....well they blow them up like balloons

until they pop. It really got big and made the

quietest popping sound.  

The "Fire Chief" told about

the Louisville Slugger bats

they were going to break

last night.

Izzy got picked to be picked up on a steel rod. They did this to show

that the rod was real and wouldn't bend easily. Notice the look of

surprise on her face when she realized she had to hold on while he

lifted them up and spun them around. The look was priceless so glad

I caught it. 

She did great holding on. She doesn't have a lot of

upper body strength so she did wonderful. 

Her grin after her swing.

The "Fire Chief" as two football players from the local

college to pull on a #7 horse shoe to see if they could

straighten it. They really pulled hard but they couldn't do

it. However, the "Fire Chief" straighten out like it was

a straw. It was really awesome.

This is "Big Will". He is a retired NFL player for the Cleveland

Browns. He snapped 3 of the Louisville Slugger bats like they

were nothing. However, he did get injured when one of the bats

splintered and lodged in his arm. He ended up with 3 staples in

his bicep last night. (but he was still able to do 2 school assemblies

today to share his story) 

Can you tear a phone book in half?

The "Fire Chief" can! 

Or bend a one inch steal rod around twice with just your hands??

Andy Gavin can. 

Big Will also tears open full soda cans with his bare hands.

Which also spray all over the crowd. Notice the

spray in the second pic. It was so cool!  

Andy Gavin is one of a few men

 in the world who can tear a deck

of plastic coated playing card in

half. That was amazing.

I have to say that the Strength Team is well worth going to see if they come close you. They take their programs to schools, churches and other functions where they can get the word out about Jesus and what his strength can do in your life. Last night 20+ people came to know the Lord and his strength and what He can do in their life. Now that is AWESOME!!
