Saturday morning. Everyone arrived with their own expectation of what the day will bring. Little did I expect to fall ill shortly after arriving in Bloemfontein. But being a spectator has its advantages! I experienced almost everything from a different angle (there is blessing in having a different position in life!). I had a humbling awareness of people standing up, taking a stranger’s hand, weeping in front of God. People kneeling on the ground, holding hands, expressing regret, confessing sin. People praying out loud, stumbling over words, battling to speak, but God meeting them right where they are.
God showed up! His Holy Spirit had a tangible presence with a light breeze blowing over the crowd.
