New Territory in Egypt

Directly after our last show Sunday at the first festival we took a 10 hour bus ride to Upper Egypt with the skaters, illusionist and strong men.  It was a bonding experience as we were all exhausted yet tried to keep each other cheery as our driver constantly got lost, turning this intended 6 hour trip into a memorable 10 hours.

The Monday festival in Upper Egypt was the first ever in the area.  It was a hectic day but once things got rolling some great ministry took place.  We did 2 combined shows with the skaters, strong men and UniShow and it flowed well.  Many accepted Jesus and we had a special prayer time with individuals afterward.

After a quick dinner on the bank of the Nile, we loaded the bus again and headed back to Cairo for a much more direct and uneventful trip.

Tuesday's festival at the Cave Church hosted nearly 20,000 people in Manshiyat naser Cairo and was an unexplainable experience.  We all considered it a privilege to be the first to ever do performance outreach on the Cave Church grounds.  Each performer in our group did 3 shows throughout the day on different "stages".  Since performers have never shared in this area before, the people were very excited to have us there.  Their aggressive enthusiasm was quite overwhelming and some of us feared for our safety as crowds closed in for pictures and autographs and just to touch us.  Fortunately, our Egyptian church friends were very mindful of our well being throughout it all.  The Gospel was shared numerous times at each venue and we saw much evidence God used it to touch people's hearts amidst the chaos.

God is truly doing mighty things in Egypt.  What a privilege to be a small part of it!  Please pray for the thousands who heard about Jesus this week through these events.
