COMPEL THEM TO COME! Ha Ha!
Well guy's after a draining day, frustrating news reports, discouraging sentiments by local pastors, no bag or clothes from the airline, and even stops and investigations by city police, Rody Chesser and I finally made the 2 hour drive to Youngson abad. Upon our arrival at about 8:30 pm there was a disappointing crowd of around 900-1000 people present. It looked discouraging because there were over 5000 chairs set up and ample room for another 5000 on the ground. However, after resolving in my heart that this was ok, even if this is all we have to speak to and the only opportunity to speak, it would all be worth it, people began to appear. Before Rody shared his testimony followed by me sharing from the Bible, it was over there were between 5 and 6000 people there. By the end of the preaching, at least a third of those in attendance (mostly young men) were standing to their feet, raising there hand and trusting Christ and Christ alone to be their Lord and Savior. Wow, this is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Amazing God. Well I am attaching my favorite photo of the night with the guards and a short video clip that shows the end of the message. I'm a little tired, dirty, and smelly and it is 2:30 am so I am going to take a shower and go to bed! Hey get a load of my Shalmar Kameez they picked up for me to wear. Still no deodorant, but no one seemed to notice but Rody and I! ha ha ! Hey, live fast, its over pretty quick! :) OOOPS this video did not make the filter. Sorry.
