Regeneration at the 47th Montreux Jazz Festival

We’ve been welcomed back to the YWAM base for Regeneration Outreach with wide open arms.  It’s almost like coming back to family and seems like well more than our fourth time partnering with these kindred spirits.  It is a privilege to serve with so many amazing people who know what matters in life and are passionate about sharing God’s love. 

Switzerland is an amazing place and we love it here!  The water, the air, streets, cars, vineyard covered hillsides, homes from quaint to fancy, even the sky is clean and fresh and nearly sparkles.  We know, however, that though things look spotless on the outside, there are many, many dark and broken hearts in need of Spiritual renovation. 

We are doing outreaches each evening by Lake Geneva at the Montreux Jazz Festival.  We are about 60 people from 15 countries.  There is a music/dance/drama team from South Korea, a Brazilian band including Korean and Polish musicians, Swiss dancers, and one crazy amazing unicyclist!  In between acts, games are played with audience participation like jump roping and limbo, a kids team paints faces and makes balloon animals, and iced tea and cookies are handed out to refresh weary festival goers.  Pray with us that God will use all of this to Regenerate people, show them His love and bring them into a relationship with their Creator that we were all made for!
