August 2005

Dear Friends,

Before the concert in Sanok, Poland, Luke (our drummer) spotted a punk that he saw in another concert. He was sitting with a group of other punks so Luke started talking to all of them. He told them where he was from and said some of the Polish words that he had learned.

They thought that it was funny and he was feeling quite pleased with himself thinking, "cool", I'm talking to the crazy punks guys." But then one of them offered him some of the wine he was drinking.  "Drink with us." he said.  "Oh, no thank you." he answered.

 "No you must, we want you to." 

"But I don't want to"  he said.  Then the guy stood up and pulled out a big knife and said "If you don't drink I'll kill you!"  At that point Luke started to get a bit worried, suddenly not feeling so smart.  "Look, I'm not a very good drummer as it is and if I get drunk I won't be able to play at all and then there will be no concert."  When the punks heard this they all started to laugh and the big punk put his knife away.


This is just an example of the heavy crowd that came to the concert. The large crowd that gathered was so crazy we told the girls not to leave the stage because there were many drunk punks and skinheads dancing aggressively in front of the stage. 

During our concert I represent Jesus and I am killed with a knife and put into a coffin. Then I break out of the coffin to show how Jesus rose from the dead. I then jump off the stage into the crowd and start to preach.

During this concert while I told them they didn't have to listen to lies anymore and that Jesus could set them free, many in the crowd screamed and swore at me. In fact my translator had to get away from all the hecklers so he could hear me because they were screaming so loud. But I felt such an authority from Jesus that it didn't really bother me.

I invited those who wanted to give their lives to kneel with me. More than 50 people knelt in the dirt that night to ask Jesus into their lives including 3 of the punks that had threaten Luke with the knife!  We also gave away 40 bibles and Filipe, a young Polish church planter who attended our school in New Zealand said it opened many doors for the new church he plans on starting in that city.

During our evangelistic tour in Poland we brought the message of the Gospel to 9 cities and to more than 4,450 people in hardcore secular venues.  670 people asked Jesus into their lives for the first time and many others rededicated their lives to Jesus.

I am now in the middle of our German evangelistic tour and I have much more to tell you in my next newsletter.


Thank you for your financial & prayer support that makes it possible for the love of Jesus to be proclaimed to those who have never heard before!

For the lost,
