Newday

Well, it seems I will be unable to get the kids to blog about their experience at Newday, so I will do my best. The photo shows Torvy in one of the tents - Björn avoided having his picture taken and only appears in group shots. I'll spare you those!

There were about 5500 young people there. They spent the week enjoying teaching and worship, and doing some outreach work in the city centre. More than 280 kids made new professions of faith, while there were over 240 re-commitments to Christ. 174 people were miraculously healed. 200 people from the city signed up to attend Alpha.

Apparently there was a South African band playing for one of the worship sessions and they taught the kids a Zulu song. Then they called all kids who had lived in Africa onto the stage to teach them a dance. Surprisingly, I learned that our boys went up. The ex-pats were spread across the stage and Torvy was positioned right behind the lead singer, so whenever they zoomed in on the lead singer, there was Torvy's face on the large screens. The leader who told me about this said he looked absolutely gorgeous up there. But of course he did - he's an absolutely gorgeous boy!
