Let's get this party started



YEEHAW!!! This weekend we had a rockin…I mean ROCKIN’, RADICAL, SUPER, concert at the church. The venue: Rufffffff tOne! Many of you, like me, have never heard of this ruff rider Ruff Tone before… but before you have any doubts of his popularity let me assure you this exciting dude is totally popular in the slums and rich neighborhood’s alike in Nairobi, Kenya. We have been promoting for this concert for an entire month with flyers, posters, driving around in flat beds with speakers and yelling out the information, and without fail we had a humongous turn out! The official estimate was 2500…but I would like to phrase it as “WE HAD ALMOST 3000 PEOPLE COME!” The place was surely jammin’. It was an official concert if I’ve ever seen one. We had a real D.J with the best, latest, and coolest D.J. board thing I have ever seen! He even wore his head phones half off his head! Everyone was screamin, singin, and dancing up a storm! If it weren’t for the water we had splashed on the ground the morning before the place would have been a giant dust cloud! The concert was awesome but altar call was surely the highlight. J.B. gave the call and over 50 people gave their lives to Jesus. Directly after the salvation call Ruff Tone talked about girl’s keeping their purity and in an area where that is one of the most difficult aspects of life to keep clean many girls came up to repent and clean their lives from the inside and out. Still the night wasn’t over. After Mr.Ruff Ruff finished his performance we started up the music on cd. The place became a Christian disco! EVERYONE was putting their groove on…me and Brianna included :0). We partied for Jesus until the wee hours of the night…like 7:00 P.M! Then night came to a very sweet end. We couldn’t wait until tomorrow…

Jenna even though you cannot see it i just highlight and pointed out the OVER 50 people to you. why don't you get your booty over to india and let me point this out! :0). jk...next time i will use the specifics...but how can you really estimate it to 53 what if one person got saved on the way home or after the altar call was pulled...then that would make in 54 and i would have been lying! hence...over 50 :0). or it could have been over 55 :0). lol...but it is still over 50 ok love you jenna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
