1st Night in Patoki a huge sucess. Debbie turns 50!

Hey guy's, sorry for the delay in catching you up. I got in last night and just could not keep my eyes open. Yesterday we had an amazing time of Leadership training with about 25 Pastors and 75 other leaders. We spent most of the time training on a discipleship strategy that takes each new believer through a four stage process that ends with them taking new believers through the process. The response was amazing and the prep work our contacts did was perfect. Tonight we started the first night in Patoki. It appears tomorrow may only be a few of us, as Pakistan and India square off for the semifinals of the World Cup Cricket match. However, tonight's crowd was the largest we have ever had at Patoki. With estimated more than 8000 people, many having to stand outside the curtain, the atmosphere was electric. I led off with a simple testimony and warm up, then Rody Chesser stood and delivered a home run on being born-again. The Spirit was thick in the place as countless people [only heaven will be able to count] stood to their feet and professed Christ as their savior, entering a new spiritual life with Him. I remember when my son hit his first high school home run, or shot his first deer, how it felt. It was more fun than doing it myself. Well, I have to admit I felt a little that way as Rody spoke truth then led thousands of Pakistani citizens to Christ. It was an amazing encounter. Well tomorrow we are scheduled to play our first Cricket match in the morning, pick up some needed props for tomorrow night, watch the World cup, then go to Patoki for the last night of Crusade. Keep us in your prayers, and pray the people God wants to save will be stirred and even want to miss the game of the century for Pakistan and come meet the Lord. I will post a short video of Rody leading the public confession after the invitation. Enjoy! Hey, guess what? My wife is living faster than I am! Yup, Debbie turned 50 today as her sorry husband missed yet another family event! Give her a shout out on facebook or something! Love ya all,
Living fast, making it count! We only get one you know! :)
