Our 4th trip to Egypt was amazing! In 5 days we did 11 shows for 20,000 people, plus millions viewed coverage on satellite TV throughout the Middle East.
Friday through Sunday was the festival we've done previously and we saw a record attendance of 30,000 total. Past years the head religious leader Egypt's largest Christian denomination has denounced the festival telling people if they attended they couldn't take communion. This year no such announcement was made. People bused in by the thousands from all over Egypt. Tickets to the festival were such a hit that they were being resold for profit and tickets were being counterfeited.
There was lots for people to see: skateboard demos, strong men, UniShow, illusionist, bands, billiards trick shot artist, freestyle motocross, art gallery. And lots for people to do: high and low ropes course, zip line, food court, skate park, climbing wall, kids zone, team sports.
We prayed with people throughout the day after our shows. Each evening everyone would gather in the stadium for a rally with music and a local pastor speaking. This evening session is broadcast live by satellite throughout the middle east. Thousands gave their lives to Christ for the first time. It was incredible.
