Hi Well Louis Britz and the guys are here... We picked them up on Saturday morning in Odessa. The afternoon we had a show in one of our villages. The music was great, but everything that could go wrong - did! We had a drunken guy dancing (and almost stripping) at the front. Another drunk climbed on stage, drums falling apart and lots of sound problems! The next night (Sunday), we had a big open-air concert in the centre of Reni. This was the BIG show! And everybody was there. I was responsible for the lighting... and that was an absolute DE-ZA- STAR! The power kept cutting out and tripping. Some of the lights wouldn't work, and two almost caught fire. I didn't know what to do. I felt a complete failure. Then Monday. We had a show at the church. The lights were good, the sound was great, and the music was even better! (Thank the Lord the one drunken man who also attended didn't like to dance naked!!!) This morning we had a "worship-leaders training". This also went great. I came to realize I was banking too much on the people or the performance. I was looking at the "musicians" and everything I had to do with the lights. I completely forgot about God. I lost my focus. I'm sure not everything was my fault... but I am sure my part would have been better if I looked to the Lord and got my strength and zeal from Him. Please pray that I will be able to "keep the Main thing the Main thing." Pray that I will be able to get focused and stay focused on the Lord. He is our strength and power! Please pray that everything will go well with the rest of Louis Britz's time here in Reni. From here they will be going to Turkey. Please pray for that outreach too. Pray that they will be able to know when to be sensitive and when they can speak Gods Word boldly. Pray that they will have wisdom in their time there. With the radio station there are no real new news... Ockert and I are still sorting out what exactly my role in the radio station will be. Please pray that we will be able to hear from the Lord and know His plan and that we will be able to fall into line with Him. Please also pray for the equipment, finances and resources that will be needed for the radio station. At first we will put a small tower on Univermag (the church building), where the station will be located, we will cover the local area at first. Then as we grow... we will cover a larger area. We will also start with a limited amount of broadcasting time... and then as time goes on we will increase that. At the moment I'm attempting to work out what area we will be able to cover when we start. The whole initial stage looks very deurmekaar, but we know that this is the Lord’s will and we are going forward in confidence! Thank you for your prayers. Without your part in the work here in Reni nothing is possible. We are partners in the gospel... Without you, your prayers and your financial support... well, I would not be here! May the Lord Bless you and keep you close to His heart. Al the Pote
