OPWEKKING AND HILLSONG
This past month we had the opportunity to attend a couple of unusual events that seemed to give us a taste of what we feel God wants to do or continue to do in Croatia.
A few of our young people were invited by some friends to a Christian festival in the Netherlands called Opwekking (Awakening) Opwekking is a festival that was started in the late 1970s and has grown enormously over the years. Bonnie accompanied a few of our young people to the event. This year it was so large that they reached the city's limits of (59,000) for how many people are allowed to camp on-premises and all together they estimate that 200,000 attended the festival.
A few days after Bonnie and the youth returned home, Hillsong United was scheduled for a concert in the Pula Arena. Those of you who have never been to Croatia may not be aware of the significance of a Christian concert being held in that location. The Pula Arena is a former Roman Coliseum patterned identical to the one in Rome. After 2,000 years in a place where gladiators fought for the honor of the Roman god, Cesar, where at least one Christian that we know of was martyred, hundreds of Christians gathered to freely lift up the name of Christ and proclaim His praises!
