For the love of Switzerland

Due to God's great provision, we are in Switzerland again for Regeneration 2010 at the Lausanne YWAM base doing outreaches at the 44th Montreux Jazz Festival. Beginning July 7, each evening we have performed and shared Jesus in Montreux on the promanade of Lake Geneva along a mile stretch of vendors and various activities. We are sharing the stage with Heartbridge from YWAM Kona Hawaii for an exciting evening of eye-catching entertainment with a purpose.

During Dustin's act on Saturday, he caught his finger between the chain and chain ring on his 6 ft. unicycle. Even with gloves on it was a bloody mess yet after a quick wrap with duct tape and through God's strength, he was able to finish the show and still powerfully share the gospel message to the large crowd gathered.

The vendors near our performance area along Lake Geneva have to endure our crowds and music each evening. Dustin felt led to build better relationships with our “neighbors” and after set up one evening, before the rest of the team arrived, had the caricature artist sketch him, and the hair braiding ladies braid his beard. During the shows from then on, he told the audience that he wasn’t going to pass a hat after his performance but if people really wanted to give, to give to our neighboring vendors and he thanked the vendors for putting up with us.

It was encouraging for the whole team to later find out that, unbeknownst to Dustin, the YWAM leadership prayer meeting that very morning had sensed that God wanted someone to get their picture drawn by the caricature artist and promote and thank them during the shows. God is moving and speaking!
