This is our 5th year joining YWAM Lausanne Switzerland for their summer Regeneration outreach in Montreux at the 2nd largest annual jazz festival in the world. This YWAM team is so inspiring, with hearts passionate to love and serve people in creative ways that point them to Jesus the Savior!
Our first week here was unusually cold and rainy, making the UniShow on our outdoor stages impossible. The bands were able to play under small shelters and since we couldn't do our performance, we had the opportunity to just pray and talk with people under umbrellas and rain ponchos. Many festival attendees told us they noticed the joy our team had even in the rain.
While dodging rain drops under a leaky tent canopy, Katie prayed with a young lady about to study fashion in Paris for God to work in her life and change her from the inside out. The girl was visibly moved and didn't realize you could talk to God anywhere like that. She said she hoped this would start a big change in her life. We pray so too!
Others were not so ready to hear about God's love. One guy told Katie her machine (pointing to his head) was not working if she believes all that about God. Other girls said it's too narrow minded to believe in just one God. We find that people have a reaction when we share about Jesus. Some are excited to hear and others reject it strongly. Sadly we know it's not us they are rejecting but God.
But we are encouraged to keep sharing boldly because we know that God wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth (I Timothy 2:4). Thanks for praying with us for the many seeds planted to take root and grow into transformed lives in Jesus!
The sun is coming and the UniShow with it so stay tuned for more exciting stories of God at work!
