I felt a heavy and oppressive spirit the entire concert but when I spoke afterwards God's presence fell. Steve (our guitarist) said it was like people were locked in to the preaching.

She gave her life to Jesus that night and was radically saved. Soon after her entire family came to Jesus! The whole family was baptized that morning in our local partner's church and she was at the concert last night.
An aggressive-looking guy came towards the stage with what looked like a screwdriver but than he stopped and went over to where our table is to sign up to know more about Jesus!
God had moved powerfully when we played here last year but this year was even more powerful. Over three thousand people came to the concert according to Sabri.
Jesus was very present and I was able to give a clear explanation of the cross and how ONLY Jesus could save us. This is a big deal in a Muslim country during Ramadan!
People streamed into the hall and we could barely fit everyone who responded. One of those who came was Rudy a German Buddhist that we are renting a house from near Krogis.
I explained how Jesus was fully God but also fully human in that he really understands how we feel and how people in Ukraine feel right now.
We played in Orekhov, Ukraine which is about 180 kilometers from Donetsk, where the main fighting is happening in Eastern Ukraine.
I spent time talking with a Ukrainian soldier who is fighting in Eastern Ukraine and is on a 5-day leave.
A huge crowd of people came to the concert (1500 to 2000 people) and they were very engaged and really interacted with us throughout the show.
Despite being a considerably smaller crowd than usual, the response was amazing! Seven different people gave their lives to Jesus for the first time!
Before the concert started a drunk guy tried to get on the stage, but for the most part it was a well behaved audience.
