Passion Sao Paulo is History!

But, Passion Sao Paulo will never be forgotten, and the impact on this City and the kids will live throughout eternity. The Brazilian kids are the most exciting, exhuberant, passionate, I have seen on this entire Passion World Tour. If you are not singing or leading them in singing, they just start singing a song themselves. In line to come into Passion, they are in line chanting and singing and dancing. What a last night here in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
There is nothing like thousands of young people giving "all" they have to be what God wants them to be.

While they were singing the HOSANA song, the words always impact me, especially, "...break my heart for what breaks yours..." Is that true? When you sing that song, is that true in your heart? If not, it would be better if you did NOT sing it! It would be better to keep your mouth closed and not sing, if it is not true. So, what breaks God's heart? SIN! Does sin break your heart? It does God's. In fact, He can't stand it. He cannot stand to be around it. Is that how you feel?

Ok, back to Sao Paulo! We head home tonight, Sunday night and return on Monday, Labor Day in the States. So, talk to you all then and we will wait again until NOVEMBER when we got to Vancouver, CA.

Pictures for Sao Paulo may have to wait till I get home to ge added...stay tuned

Bienvedos Sao Paulo!

Portugese is the language in Sao Paulo and I am not sure I spelled everything correctly, but anyway we are here in Sao Paulo. We arrived at the venue in Sao Paulo, a 10 minute ride from the Hotel that took an "hour". Yes, with 22 million people in the city, what should be a 10 minute ride it took an hour to get here. Oh well, it was expected. The motorcycle drivers are still the craziest in the world. There are 6-7 deaths PER DAY of motorcycle riders. When there are white lines between the lanes...that is where every motorcycle rider goes racing through all the time. So, don't change lanes and don't open your door or you will have it torn off and a motorcycle attached to it.

We are in the largest indoor venue in Sao Paulo and it is SOLD OUT! We are expecting a large number of University students for the next 2 days and it will be crazy. I think in 2008 the Brazilian kids were the most excited and loudest in their worship and praise. As excitement builds and volunteers arrive we are preparing for a glorious time the next 2 days. Another good thing is that we have 300 volunteers signed up to help us plus another 100 or so venue personnel and security. So, we are looking forward to a great time of worship, praise and study here in Brazil.

More later with pictures.

Wake-Up BLOGGERS, Arrival in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Just a short message for now, but we arrived in Sao Paulo, Brazil a few hours ago and what a City. Does not look lile it changed much since 2008, but it is a big crazy city. The venue is said to be packed out with University students. I will have more to say tomorrow and hopefully some pictures. Pretty tired right now, a long flight and no sleep on the plane.

Talk more later, be praying for the students and bands as they all prepare,
