In a few days we will reach 1,000’s!!!!
In just a few days we will be lifting Jesus’ name high on a soccer field full of young people in this city of Balige!Â
On April 18th-19th I will be doing the biggest event so far in these 5 years in Indonesia! The city is already filling with excitement! Yesterday we gathered all the youth from all churches together.. the response was amazing.. and deafening! Hahaha.. The outreach will be done through a youth concert. We even have some star singers flying in from Jakarta. And of course.. most importantly we will be using all of this to gather them together to hear the beautiful gospel of Jesus! Our target is 5,000-10,000 young people!! Wow!!! It’s soooo exciting! So please be a part of it!! You can contribute to this event being a success and brining 1,000’s of youth to Jesus!  I ask you for your prayers! Pray for this area, for many young people to come, for everything to run smoothly, for the funds needed to be provided, for the local churches to run with the vision, etc. I am amazed at how God brought me to this city and how He has worked it all out!
  Last week I met the Regent here. He is the most powerful man in this region. Not only does he support this event.. he is coming up with plans of how we can do it all throughout his region in this next year! A few days ago he asked me to preach in his office.. they had a service and all of the staff had to attend. I preached to the top 200 government officials of this region! When I entered the room I felt nervous, which is very rare for me, but I reminded myself that it was nothing to do with me! The only reason I had this opportunity was by God’s grace.. I couldn’t do it. But Jesus could! I immediately felt peace and enjoyed the service. At the end many of the officials came up to me to thank me. One man came up to tell me that when I prayed for them that God really touched his heart. This man was so sincere it really amazed me.. and I could see in his eyes that God’s love had really touched him. This morning I met again with the regent and many government officials to work out the details of this event. Their support is amazing. Praise God!
