I had the honor of speaking to around 600 religious leaders here in the Sialkot region at lunchtime today at a large hotel here in town. Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians. Mullahs, muftis, gurus and priests (even if 90% probably were Muslims). We had invited everyone to an all-religious peace conference for brotherhood and building bridges. Bulls eye! It turned out sooo well! Can't really describe it in a blog... God gave SOS full favor and I left the stage to applause and received spontaneous hugs and dabs on my cheeks from several Mullahs and Imams... I spoke on the gospel of Matthew chapter 18:1-5 and Col 1:20, about receiving the Kingdom of God like a child and peace created by Jesus' blood on the cross! I spoke directly from my heart, wasn't formal at all, laughed and cried after another... The Holy Spirit was there... Thank you Jesus! All honor to the One who is the Prince of Peace!
Our security personel counted 31,000 people at the festival tonight here in Pakistani Sialkot! They counted the crowd when we started praying for the sick tonight... These figures are on the low side since people continued to come to the festival ground until we said; "good bye and see you tomorrow" ;). There could as well been 40,000 tonight :)! SOS would rather cut the numbers a little lower since what God gave us tonight is huge and will keep us "chirping" for a long time... We prayed with a litte more than 4,500 precious people to salvation. We know this since we handed out our own follow up material, unfortunately we lacked some counselors tonight though so we probably just filled out half the amount of decision cards... Positive problems, but it still hurts...
Growths dissapeared during miracle prayer tonight and kids that had never been able to walk before walked and ran on the platform - it was sooo beautiful! It is the most beautiful thing I know when Jesus performs miracles!
What will the Spirit of God do tomorrow?! I can hardly sleep, I'm so excited and filled with anticipation! Will it be Christmas for SOS when it comes to our festivals? Will Jesus kiss us another time?! "The one who lives will see" as Cornelis Vreeswijk, a well known Swedish singer, sings ;). We are just sooo happy tonight...
Pray for us!
See ya!
