Let's Festival!

2016 was the 50th annual Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux Switzerland. For the 6th time, we joined YWAM Lausanne for their Regeneration outreach 6-16 July 2016. For 10 evenings in a row, we presented the UniShow along side various other creative means, sharing the Hope and Love of God with the world who came to the Festival. The setting was along beautiful Lake Geneva. This year we had 2 performance areas and thankfully one was a stage under a huge roof so the 4 days it rained and stormed, the show could go on!

We shared the stage with a number of bands, Korean fan dancers and drummers, a stomp/dance team, dramas, and a fellow unicyclist who was developing her act for the first time. It was fun to see our new unicycling friend launch her performance ministry dream on her birthday during this outreach and even greatly improve over just a few days. She was inspired by how Dustin integrates his skills and sharing his faith.

Not only did our group perform, but some from our team handed out refreshments and offered prayer. Since there is very little geared for children at the festival, another group had kid's activities and were able to share God's love with them and their parents.

We were able to connect personally with a few people after shows. One guy from Vietnam who lived in Denmark talked to us for a long time sharing his different beliefs and listening to ours. We were able to give him his first Bible.  He said receiving it was the highlight of his vacation. A lady came up to us with tears in her eyes, amazed that we had come from all over the world to perform for free and share the hope, love and freedom God offers. We were told that 2 girls prayed along with Dustin during one outreach as he led a commitment prayer to surrender their lives to Jesus!

Throughout these 10 days, thousands heard the Good News that Jesus saves and we know many people were impacted.

Dustin tried to blend in with a group of 50 Alphorn players who walked through our performance area.
