We are now seriously planning for the Turning Point project to take the Mainstage across the Channel to Mainland Europe from next summer. The ambitious plan is to follow what I felt the Lord showed me in a dream to re-establish a bridgehead on the coast of Normandy following the paradigm of the D-Day Landings that ended the Second World War in 1944 but at a terrible price.
We're then aiming to hold Mainstage Festivals in Paris, Berlin, Rome and Athens over the next couple of years ahead of the biggest step of all. We will load the giant Mainstage trailer onto a container ship for a sea passage down the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal and down the Red Sea into Mombasa, Kenya. We'll then connect with my friend Simon Guillebaud who leads Great Lakes Outreach in Burundi and other national connections we have in Kenya and Uganda particularly. Clearly at that stage it is highly unlikely that the Mainstage will return but I feel it is somehow in the destiny of this great resource to move across countries and continents carrying the fire of the Gospel. In mid October I'm going to Africa with Gary Stupple from here and also Francis Dognon my great friend in Normandy who we will work closely with for the European side of things. We'll spend a week with Simon and others to dream and plan together for Miracle Street in Africa! Watch this clip and catch the vision! Oh and turn the sound up!!
