This must be what the Wesleyan revivals were like....

This evening Graham Power and I are speaking at the Riversdal stadium. It is wonderful to see over a thousand people gathering (in COLD) weather. They are eager to seek the face of God, and find tangible solutions for the problems they encounter in this region. Alchohol abuse, drug abuse, unemployement, race and culture struggles, HIV / AIDS, these and many more are the problems that plague millions of South Africans in rural South African towns.

It is such a joy and privelage to be able to speak of hope and to see persons make a commitment to working together to see God's dream for their community and region. Tomorrow we shall run a workshop with teachers, community workers, pastors, business people, the police, and members of the community in which they shall strategise for the upliftment, development, and change of the region.

It is such a joy and honour to be here and to be part of the blessing of a community such as this. Perhaps this is what the Wesleyan revivals of England were like. Sometimes, it feels a little like we're making history.
