Franklin Graham's Festival goes one more night, but tonight was my last one to attend. Reactions? Well, there were some good performers, but I must admit I wouldn't have known most of them were singing songs about Jesus! Dr. Graham preached on Luke 15, Prodigal Son. When he finished, they did sing "Just as I Am" which I could relate to. Also hundreds of people literally RAN forward. I have never seen such before. It was a touching sight.
It was an extremely HOT two and a half hours which I can't imagine Americans enduring, so I realized that what we think is intolerable varies drastically with people and cultures. The Liberian VP and his wife were back again. Mrs.a Boakai was in intercessory prayer last night and tonight, she went forward as one of the counsellors.
One more observation: I believe that even in Liberia, that a sports event would have attracted lots more people than came the 2 nights I was there. I don't think I'm through meditating on my impressions, but I've shared with you my first impressions.
Tomorrow Del and Becky, Jack and Nelle will have breakfast with Franklin Graham. I'll let you know what I find out about that event.
Next post I'll try to include pictures.
The Festival seems not to be well attended. So exciting to hear that people literally ran down the aisles. I do pray with you that they will get associated with a church and learn more of God's word. This is how to grow. Sorry you won't get to attend the rest of the festival-nevertheless, class completion is very important for you and the Students.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to pictures. It must have been nice to see the VP's.
Much love,

I'll be praying for your final days.
