Typhoon Grace!!
A little over two days have passed since we left Jakarta on flights that would land us in Africa for the second time on this amazing world tour. Though now in Johannesburg, and excited about what is in store tomorrow, we all feel like we’ve been hit by a massive SE Asian typhoon and are very much missing Asia! Can you believe it? Three nights and 19,000+ new friends who are now on this massive and growing wave that God is raising up all around the globe! What a ride!
Manila, KL and Jakarta…we love you so much and feel like in a really short period of time God somehow merged our hearts beautifully into one. The way you have prayed and given for each other speaks of a thread being woven through every nation and people, a thread that’s telling a story so much bigger than our own. And Jakarta, you have blown us away with your blog-mania! 900+ comments!?!? Are you kidding? But more than the number (Manila and KL, you rocked as well), it’s the stories that move us most…stories of God’s grace and a night that was Spirit-powered and all about the powerful simplicity of the cross where life began.
And speaking of typhoons, as we were leaving Jakarta Wednesday one shut down the Hong Kong airport (our intended layover on the way to JoBurg) giving us a nice long day at the Jakarta airport before a late-night flight to Singapore, and for many Dubai, before we arrived over 24 hours later to sunny SA winter. JoBurg, there are thousands of Indonesians praying for you right now (see the 900+ posts mentioned above!) and we are expecting great things tomorrow. For those of you around the world, JoBurg is an all day event starting at 10 AM local time. And for you folks who are going to “pitch up” tomorrow, remember to bring a blanket for our Do Something Now campaign! And to everyone following the Passion World Tour, we love you and couldn’t have done any of this without you!
