Cape Town for Jesus was today
Amazing event today with the brand new Green Point stadium filled with people praying for the city, for World Cup, for South Africa, Trafficking, leadership, economy and muich more! Man it was so cool! I left this morning with Daneeka and Suzie and we waiting for the dang train for an hour, since it's holiday and then right before we were to get the train our friend Greer gave us a lift into town. Thank goodness! Traffic all through the city, but finally made it to the stadium and it was such a beautiful day with a cool vibe going! Ahhh it was just awesome! We didn't have tickets because CHeckers claimed to see out, we get there and the people were just handing them out! Was really cool and saw Angus Buckman for the first time the guy who the move Faith Like Potatoes is about. I saw Steve from Unashamedly Ethical, and our famous beginner of GDOP Graham Powers.
Our ride left early so Daneeka and I strolled around, went to the waterfront, ate some cake and drank Mug and Bean coffee. We barely made a taxi to the train station, crammed in like sardines. Oh yes, only in Africa this stuff can happen. Then we get there and missed the train again. SOooo, needless to say we strolled in teh wind a bit more and finally an hour and half later caught the last train home. Was quite a fun adventure, definitely needed this!
While we were praying and hearing Angus's inspirations about Opportunities, it just spoke to me about God's message. Not watering Him and His power down. I just need to do that. I must make Him known. His rules, His world His glory! Yes oh yes that's what we're all living for and searching for. Thank you.
I am a bit stressed though because I still need to get jsut this dang message out. I see it being easier than we need ot make it. We need to get a flyer/advert out with Musa on the cover, the acronym and then ending in NOW, abstain from sex outta marriage. Like abstain from Adultery because basically in a nut shell that's where things have gone wrong. Still need to meet with GWC, but from the sounds of it, Jordan our Proffessor was inspired by the acronym. He said it made much more sense than the dang document we gave him. I didn't write it but good to know he thinks we're on the right path.
So we need this hand out, then a 'brand' which I see a s apin. Like a pin that says abstain2010 or maybe some symbolic beads on a pin. We pin that to the hand outs and there we are. No signing up messiness or worrying. Gosh we just need this bare necessity of this. Help us Lord please. For now my team who I always fear of finding things they can do to get done when I'm never sure of the next steps, NOW, Collins and Kenny help the base. So, they're not going to be around full-time, which is probably in the end for the right purposes. I'm not always sure what to do. Kenny can still do power point etc., Collins is always supportive and has the network with Musa. Whcih by the way we never got the photo shoot done, which was frustrating beacuse it was more miscommunication. Collins was speaking with Musa and I was speaking with Musa and the time was messed up. Luckily Musa is the kindest Kenyen around, that it's no worries to him. We had a great time watching him play in Newlands stadium on Sunday. Yes sir, probably 1 of 5 white people in the stands. Seriously like animals thepeople and yet they don't fight like hooligans. It was Santos, the team Musa is captain for and then it was Kaiser Chiefs whom are from Joberg, and had to represent 90% of the 30,000 fans! Was nuts! Blacks and coloreds everywhere! We took the train, a group of us and a few from Media Village all going to support Musa. The train was hot and crowded, then charging fans through the turnstiles of the trainstation, then we had like 5 blockades of officers JUST to reach our seats int he stadium. Looking for guns, knives, alcohol. I was patted nicely down by this Huge lady cop a few times! Man oh man! It was nuts and those dang horns blowing CONSTANTLY! There were crazy costumes of almost ALL Cheifs outfits and fans. It just was herded cows being herded but like a firecracker went off. And yet it was like it was common. You always crowd everywhere and push and shove. Like the stadium was packed, and if there wa sroom on the bench next to you, a random person, would sit there. Not caring who you were or who they came with. No one got up during the match either except half-time. You could basically sell anything there, random people selling their cigarettes, pictures of you if you wanted them, gear for teams, donuts. Oh just the complete opposite of a cricket or ruby game I've seen there. White people sitting so still. I saw the largest sign saying absolutely no horns in the stadium, and EVERYONE and their mammas brought their dang loud horns! I went to get water at halftime and it was like savages grabbing and pushing just to get their coke or chips. So wierd. We looked like we stood out so bad. I heard these Afrikaners saying they wanted their picture with the white people! The strange football wasn't great, but entertaining enough. Musa, the 28 year old center back almost scored the most times off corner kicks with his tall body. BUT, nope they went into penalties and lost. Sad I know.
We all met outside, and I met the Kenyan crew, his lovely wife, daughters, relatives and even he came and made us all feel so welcome. Love that guy!
I'm probably forgetting so much, but it's a bit of recap over the weekend. I really miss footy that's for sure. Need to get that going, yet I just NEED this stuff accomplished and going for abstain. I recently had my dear friend offer to pay for possibly 'bands' or adverts, so I wanna capitalize before I keep losing interested people. For instance, video man Misha is sorta outta the loop and it's not necessarily his fault, but he's busy and getting busier and we haven't been able to sit down with him, and on top of it we don't even have money or website done. ahh, be positive Noel. yes it's ok, the Lord is good. All the time, and even when things are done and over, he's still here with me.
Keep the process please in your prayers, and I wanna shout out to a few folks in NZ
John I seriously had tears at your email, miss you dearly and sadly I saw your team at the bottom of the table that poor westham. Keep up the swimming and your humor!
Jeremy, I can't believe you and you even took the time to read this. I appreciate all your love and support! That home of mine is greatly missed! Matty, i'm taking care of myself, don't you worry, but you're still inspiration for me, I thank you I thank you!
Miss you all
