Zhytomyr

We arrived in Zhytomyr in time for lunch with our team.  It included our group from Berean, the No Longer Music team, the Belarusian band NUTEKI and the Ukrainian missionaries, a group of mostly college aged students who came to share Jesus.  Lunch was chicken, potatoes and coleslaw - soon to become a common theme! After lunch we prayed together in many languages and tongues (English, Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Spanish, Indonesian, and Finnish to name a few), then hit the streets to invite people to the "free American concert".  It was amazing, fun and tiring all at the same time!

NUTEKI hit the stage around 8:30 p.m. and we were off and running!  I can only describe the No Longer Music portion as Billy Graham on steroids, designed by someone with ADHD.  Feel free to go online and check them out!

After the concert, we walked up to people asking them what they thought of the concert, what was their favorite part, and what did they think of the Jesus story at the end.  People were very open. Hannah on our team was able to pray with two girls who asked Jesus into their hearts.  It was an awesome and late night.

Interesting note:  At the concert the previous night, all the electricity in the city had gone out. The city brought in a generator so the concert could go on!  Isn't God faithful? The only light shining that night was His light! t
