On Thursday June 30th, we had the concert of the Musical Mission Team. Theo had letterboxed about 2500 homes in the week leading up to the concert and had placed articles in two local papers. The team also performed three street concerts during which another 500 invitations were passed out. We had a good attendance of about 75 people and estimate that about 30-40% were non-Christians. The team sang well (including two Dutch songs) and also performed a few beautiful instrumental numbers. Toward the end of the program, Dr. Kevin Oberlin gave a short salvation challenge, weaving together the message of "Amazing grace" and the conversion testimony of his parents. After the concert we offered coffee and tea, while the people had an opportunity to mingle with the choir members and children received balloon animals. Theo was able to establish initial contact with a few men who showed openness to our ministry. Please pray with us that God will continue to work in their hearts. Overall, we are very pleased with the outcome and trust there will be more fruit from these efforts as time progresses.
