Wow – what a night! At 6.00pm there were just a few kids around – but by 7pm the place was buzzing… around 5,000 people came to see the last night of the first South Africa Impact World Tour. Such an awesome way to finish a fantastic 3 week tour. The teams performed together, alternating between Team Xtreme, GX International and Island Breeze – in a medley of song, dance and feats of strength. It was great to have the large Coca-Cola stage in the main town square of Worcester – no-one could miss it!
We had a good group of local links – about 200 of them, including many YWAMers. They did a great job talking and praying with those who responded. Once again you could sense the power of God at work, as many were healed physically and others were set free from emotional pain and hurts from their past. This is a major step for many people in their journey toward God – but even more important is the follow up from here on.

Testimonies:
Seventeen-year-old John hurt his back playing rugby and came to tonight’s show with a very sore back. He came forward to give his life to Jesus, and while at the altar, received prayer for his back. He was instantly healed and walked home without any pain.
She could hardly contain her emotions as she relayed how God had touched her tonight through the performance of the teams. Heaving sobs, Chante 14, told how she had walked to the meeting, a backslidden Christian harboring intense hatred toward a close friend. At the call to the altar, she felt a pull to go forward to re-dedicate her life to the Lord. After talking and praying with a local link, she felt great relief and was ready to reconcile with her friend.
Thirty-five-year old Sofia came with pain in her shoulders that constantly felt like a heavy load. She was healed tonight at the altar call when Kevin Stark prayed for those who had come forward. Sofia’s ten year-old son also gave his life to Jesus tonight.
Twelve year-old Ashley was so touched by the teams’ ministry tonight, that he walked over to a local link and asked to be lead to the Lord. Asked why he wanted Jesus in his life, he replied that he wanted to “leave the bad stuff.”
Thank you for partnering with us in reaching this region with the Gospel!
