[Worship] an item of praise



Hey gang,

I just wanted to share a quick item of praise. It's not a praise related 
topic, but we can praise God for what did happen.

For the past 4 days, Billy Graham was in Ottawa (Canada) leading evangelistic 
mission meetings (we called it a "mission" instead of a "crusade"). Here are 
some statistics:

                                 Outdoor      
                       Arena    Overflow   Attendance   Comment
                       ------   --------   ----------   -------
Thursday, June 25      18,000     2,000      20,000
Friday,   June 26      18,000     4,000      22,000
Saturday, June 27      12,000                12,000     children's morning
Saturday, June 27      18,500     6,500      25,000*    youth concert
Sunday,   June 28      18,500     8,500      27,000*
                                           ----------
                                            106,000

* broke attendance record for Corel Centre arena (previously 20,000); indoor
  seating capacity is 18,500.

Over 9,000 people responded to Billy's invitation over the mission period to 
commit themselves to Christ (either for the first time, or a rededication).

AWESOME TIME!!!


Just thought I'd share the good news,
Timo
