Well, I am currently in the Singapore Aiport, with a 3 hr layover, for a trip to Dubai, for a 6 hr layover. All this happened, the first time on the World Tour, because of a Typhoon in Hong Kong where we were heading after the Jakarta Passion Event was completed. Our flight from Jakarta to Hong Kong was cancelled, so we were at the Jakarta airport form several hours trying to re-arrange 25 people's itinerary. I watched the "Hurricane" heading towards Houston but did not see what it did.
Anyway, Thanks Lindsey for the post, at least I know someone is reading them.
Well, JAKARTA PAssion went off without a hitch. It was an "old" venue and kind of a dump. But, you do not need a nice place to have a great time or for God to work. The venue was changed 5 days before we arrived because it was not big enough. There were about 7,000 kids at this one and they were excited to be there. There were cats all over the venue running around under the stage. I was a little worried about this one, from a Security standpoint, being in the middle of Indonesia where so many terrorists come from and a strong Muslim population. So, I had a bomb squad out to do some inspections along with their dogs. As I thought about it, I realized I was having a Muslim bomb squad check out the venue for us. Oh well, that is what faith is all about. Do all we can and leave the rest to God. Actually, I got to know the Captain of the bomb squad so well, giving him a USA Police patch usually does the trick. He was so interested in US Police stuff, by the end of the night he had given me his "Special Forces" Police hat and a medal of his off his chest. Pretty cool. I did get some pictures and they might get posted in S. Africa, sorry, but they will be here, sooner or later.
So, there is more that I will put on this post, but wanted to get this out before this computer runs out on me and I lose what I have typed. Some interesting things I want to share, but I am definitely hitting some Countries I never dreamed of being in, even if it is only at the airports. Things are going well and God has used this to do some things we will never know. Each city posts more blogs than the last one. Go to 268generation.com to see some of them. I have not been able to even do that yet. Well, at least when we finally get to S. Africa I will be able to "unpack" my suitcase. Then the SAFARI! We are all excited about that! But, it is cold in S. Africa, but the heat we have had so far, we are ready for some cold weather.
I told you there was one additional post Louie has shared about the "Ashley" Story. Now, that he has the "original" journal sent by her dad and brother, Jacob for Louie's birthday, he has read post from April 28th...the LAST post in the journal. It says...oops, time running out, sorry, got to go.
Later!
