Hanging On

The enemy was very strong yesterday. Everyone who participated in the outreach commented on it. There was a real sense of open warfare.

Today will be a long one. We hit the tram at 6:30 this morning for the last coffee outreach. Since the enemy was very evident there yesterday it will be interesting to see if there are victories today or if he is even more evident. It is a spiritual battle and as we attempt the release of some of his captives he is not a happy camper. Everyone at the outreach sensed the open warfare yesterday. There are some pictures on the pictures page of past days at the Vlasmarkt Coffee Outreach. Check them out.

This is also the last day for the pannenkoeken (crepes) and coffee outreach at the Burg. Satan has been evident there as well. He does not like God's children trying to interrupt his plans. Pray that we will be able to stand strong in the battle since the war is already won. That is from 2:00 until 6:00.

Then from 8:00 until after midnight we are downtown with other activities. The participants sense the feesten are winding down so they are getting a bit rowdier at night. Pray for us to bring some salt and light into the environment.

Sunday is the community worship service in Baudelopark. We have been inviting people to attend and since it is in the open we are hoping others will see how much joy there is in following God.

We will keep you posted as time and energy allows. Prayer is the sustainer at this point.
