Concert in Maffia run club in Chishnau, Moldova
Well here is the Lowdown (with regards to GME) for all of you passionate about spreading the renown of Jesus Christ! Mission Moldova was amazing. We arrived on a saturday and were put to work immediately. We ministered in a church on Sunday morning and even presented them with a new worship song, written for them.............IN THEIR LANGUAGE!!!! One of the guys on our team, Dave Lubben is very talented and gifted with songwriting and after a successful trip to Uganda I encouraged him that we should we be doing more in the indigenous language. He has taken it to the next level and began writing songs in each country we go to specifically for that body.
Monday - Thursday we were working with the local worship teams by teaching them the theology of worship and musicianship in the church setting. We also went into several schools and did "mini concerts" to get them to come to a weekend evangelistic concert. Thursday night we took over this Mafia run club and had over 500 moldovan believers gather together for worship concert. The next night in the same club we had 1200 students mostly nonbelievers pack out the club while hearing a rock concert and the life changing truth of Jesus Christ. Hundreds responded to the gospel and hundreds of seeds were planted.
The same week we arrived back in the US we packed are bags and drove up to Wanatchee,WA. In our ongoing preparation for the festival in October with Jose Zayas, we lead worship for a youth evangelism training seminar. To our surprise many of the students brought their friends who were not Christians. Jose being sensitive to the Lord asked if there was anyone who would like to commit their life to following Christ and leading others to him as well. Over 50 students raised their hands to commit their lives to Christ and over a thousand were committed to share the gospel with someone within 48 hours.
Only a week later my band Perelux (www.perelux.com) joined with Chi Alpha and other Christian ministries and did an outreach to Portland State University. The response was very good. One guy said "this is the best band I've heard in the park blocks". We were so grateful to be a part of the AWESOME team of leaders in Jaime Harris the Varis' and others. Their work takes time to see fruit so we are happy to join them in their labor for souls!
This weekend Perelux will be joining the Christian youth of Beaverton in a student lead festival for high schoolers. One of my evangelist partners and Luis Palau partners Reid Saunders will be giving a message of hope. Perelux will lead worship and others will entertain and challenge the students through music. Please be praying!
