North Africa - Count It Right 2014

It never ceases to be a privilege to partner with our friends at Kasr el Dobara church for the Count It Right festival in North Africa. This was our 7th time performing at this festival with dozens of other talented artists, using what we've been given to share the Good News.

It was great to have our friend Craig Wright of CWtrials add bike trials (technical mountain biking) to the UniShow this year. Other events included:

Team Faith's motocross, tricking 70 feet in the air; Team Xtreme breaking stuff and flipping heavy things; professional clowning by Chagy and quality mimes from Puerto Rico; skate and bmx demos on the only skate park in this country; Adrian the amazing illusionist; Shawn the Chicago Chalk Champ performing chalk art; Spintacular basketball trick show by two of the 14 incredible Crevier Family; cinema showing films of lives transformed by God; workshops about domestic and child abuse and atheism, high and low ropes courses, soccer games, Better Life Team (the Arabic world's Hillsong) and other famous Arabic singers.

Before and during the festival there were church members praying 24 hours a day for God to do great things through this massive event. About 40,000 people attended this 4 day festival with thousands responding to the message. The entire festival was broadcast live throughout the Middle East via satellite television.

We did 2 shows a day under the beautiful and hot North African sun. A faithful team of volunteers assisted us the entire time, helping things run smoothly.

We prayed for people after most shows. Craig prayed for strength for a group of guys who had made a pact of purity with each other. Katie prayed with a couple giving their lives to Jesus. One volunteer asked Dustin and Craig to pray for him with his struggle with pornography and they were able to challenge and encourage him.

At each show Dustin and Craig would share the Message and give an invitation. People would respond with raised hands so the volunteer counseling team could connect with them. When crowds dispersed after shows, it was so encouraging to see clusters of new believers connecting and praying with volunteers from the church.

Please pray for the thousands of people who heard the truth, some accepting and some rejecting. Pray for seeds to take root!
