North Africa - Extended Edition


We stayed in North Africa a week after our 2 week tour with TACO.  It was our 5th time working with this organization for 3 festivals around the country.  These large scaled events are well organized and run by hundreds of attentive volunteers.  It is such a privilege to work with such humble servants of God. 

We were blessed to have our friend John from TACO join us for this week as an assistant.  He is a very competent young man and we wish we always had his help.  In the last few months he has even taken up unicycling.  The three of us were able to do a unicycling trio act as part of our shows.  It was a fun addition.

Our first festival was at the Cave Church in the midst of what is called Garbage City, home to 80,000 people who live among and process garbage from the huge city below.  We did 3 shows throughout the day, along with many other performers, sharing the Gospel with many hungry for truth.  It was exciting to see so many respond.

From there we joined a weekend festival at a conference center in the desert where around 12,000 people attended each of the 4 days.  We did 2 shows each day along with skaters, bmxer's, a strength team, clown, illusionist, motocross jumper and marshal arts team.   We again saw hundreds respond to the open invitation to follow Jesus.  We prayed with many hurting people after our shows and saw Jesus touch them.

Next we drove to the south of the country for a one day festival.  It was a pretty crazy day but we know that people were ministered to through our multiple shows. 

Thanks for praying with us that the thousands who surrendered to God will remain in Him!
