A Light to the Nations Blog
Things in Africa rarely go as planned – but God amazed us yet again.
It’s much more effective to provide ground cover and blow holes through enemy lines from the air than on the ground. That’s what I learned from praying for these Gospel Festivals....

Written by David BarefootThis wasn't your usual crusade. Testimonies and the attendance weren't record breaking for this team, but the entire city was touched by the joy that His presence carried.
Sunday morning, the day 5 grand finale of Mega Fest... Papa Randy and I visited one of the churches. Neither one of us had ever seen a place like Kibera before.
Tonight was the last night of the Gospel Festival in Kibera, and it was nothing short of incredible. People came in droves, more than 100,000 of them, to hear the life-changing message of Jesus.
Last night we had an incredible breakthrough. If you have been reading the blogs, you know that this outreach has been a struggle every step of the way. However, the one thing that has been consistnently great is the response of the crowds. Every night thousands of hands are raised indicating that they are making a commtment to Christ.
Traffic here in Kibera (Nairibi) is crazy. It can take an hour to drive one or two miles. But not for us. We get an escort wherever we go. Big men with guns who drive like a cross between Nascar and a demolition derby move us through traffic like the President was coming through town. What a blessing, to have the support necessary to make this event such an amazing success.
Some of my favorite moments in Africa are the worship times. Africans are gifted with strong singing voices. So far I have never heard them sing quietly or without enthusiasm, and I’ve rarely seen them sing without dancing too.
Today was a day of victory - the Fire Conference was really on fire!
The crowd doubled in size yesterday, and seemed to increase again today. Its hard to count, but there are tens of thousands. Its epic.
