Against all odds we held a festival in a city in ruins... There were no open spaces in the entire city such as parks, soccer fields etc since every open space now served as home for the hundreds of thousands homeless that now live in tents. The earthquake January 12th which destroyed the city measured 7.0 on the Richter scale and killed about 300,000 people. Therefore we got an open space in the UN's huge tent camp for 7,000 families 6.2 miles outside the city... Too far to walk and the UN forbid us to transport people from the city to the camp... We are now summarizing the victories from probably the most chaotic and poor city in the world at this time;
- Day 1 = 4,000 people at the festival...
- Day 2 = 7,000
- Day 3 = 10,000
- Day 4 = 12,000
- Day 5 = 15,000
- Outreaches = 2,000
- Day 2 = 7,000
- Day 3 = 10,000
- Day 4 = 12,000
- Day 5 = 15,000
- Outreaches = 2,000
All in all 50,000 people have heard the Gospel in the city!
- 3,200 happy newly saved filled in decision cards this past week!
- Deaf, blind, hearing- and vision imparied have been healed!
- Mass-baptism in the Holy Spirit and about 1,000 started speaking in tongues!
- Several were delivered from evil spirits!

- For the first time we set up our portable festival equipment that due to our sound techincian's estimations can easily reach a crowd of 100,000!
- We planted at least one new church in the tent camp and ordained the Pastor last night!
The follow up work begins today, we are invited to the Mayor who wants to thank us and talk about this event and maybe more in the future... We are donating clothes and school benches to the most poor places...
We have no voice left, we are happy and thankful to Jesus!
See ya!
