ONE backstage pass goes to.......

Praise the Lord for His unfailing love! Today was another great day of evangelism and serving. The team is braving the weather as it has been cold and wet ALL day today. It doesn't really rain there, it is like having a mister on continuous spray. As you know the students have been assigned to serve in many different areas, food, bouncing maching, parking duty, clean up duty but only ONE student had the job of back stage servant.....AMY! She has been backstage with the bands serving coffee, laughing, talking, playing, praying, serving in whatever area needed and had the pleasure of being picked on. She has loved every minute of it and from what I hear already signed a few bands to come play back home :D

They have just gotten done eating a late night snack (12pm their time) and are ready to sleep. The van is finally in one, safe piece and only cost them more than double what it would here to be fixed, but hey it's fixed right?! Tomorrow will be the conclusion of Creation Fest and will run from 10am until 9pm. After that they will head back to their hotel for their final stay in Ilfracombe. The next morning they will drive back to London and will be staying again at the Lord Kensington Hotel for their LAST night!

Thank you Jesus for your hand of mercy over our family, bring them home safely and let Your Glory be seen through this week of faithful service to You....

Mama Fitch reported this morning (Sun) that the concert last night & worship service this morning were both awesome! She said that quite a few (that's British for "a lot of") people came forward to accept Christ publicly! She also said that she's spoken with many local/British Christians for whom Creation Fest has been a real encouragement. Many have told the kids how amazing it is that Americans would come over to minister to them & to their people and how grateful they are for all that the kids are doing. Thought you all might be interested in who's doing what. CC Costa Mesa has done an excellent job of planning, organizing, preparing & doing Creation Fest. Everyone has been assigned specific jobs. As Jenny posted, Amy has the highest glamour job of providing food service backstage to the artists. Food service is big: Alexandra provides food service to volunteers, & Molly provides food service to guests at the "Surf Cafe". Samantha works security & has pitched in to help Nancy at the "bouncy castle". Tom staffs the Information Centre (note the spelling!). Jordan & Kelsey are guides/welcomers on the shuttle rides between parking & the fest, and Caleb & Pilgrim are assigned to parking. At the opposite end of Amy's "glamour job" are Ethan & Alex, who pick up "rubbish". I wonder if everybody is working in his or her particular gifted area? What a terrific experience the students (& adults) have had. Lots of learning, lots of serving, much to be thankful for!
