The Cape Of Good Hope
Well, I think it’s safe to say His Church is alive and well in lovely Cape Town as 6000+ faces jammed into the Bellville Velodrome for a fitting end to Leg 2 of the Passion World Tour. But before we jump in to CT we must say quite well done Jozi!! Way to rock the Blog and send a massive wave of love our way tonight!! It’s been incredible to see the way you took the baton from Jakarta and passed it on to your friends here tonight and as we came through the doors we could sense that you were really believing for something special here in Cape Town.
Honestly, this whole Tour has been a stunning ride, each city landing with a thunderous ovation and a unique place in God’s unfolding epic that is circling the globe. But there’s no place we’d rather end this leg than here in Cape Town, a gorgeous convergence of 3 million+ people in a breath-taking collision of land and sea. And just further down from Cape Point and the heart of CT is the Cape of Good Hope, a potent reminder of what this city can be to the nation and what SA can be to the African continent.
Tonight was amazing, but the story of tonight is really the story of tomorrow, a future rooted in the hearts of the generation that worshiped so loudly tonight, believing that greater things have yet to come for Cape Town. It’s tomorrow that our zeal must turn into action as justice becomes ‘love out loud’ as the grace that’s set us free moves us in that freedom to extend mercy and healing to anyone who needs their heart put back together again with God. Tomorrow, the cross must loom large in our hearts, compelling our hearts and steps to make famous the One who saves.
It was a humbling privilege for our team to be a part of two events on South African soil, two nights we will never forget and ones we pray God will make last forever. Mexico City, you’re up next and there is so much CT love coming your way (not to mention over ZAR 116,000/ US$14,800!) and the promise of many prayers as Passion wristbands dot the campuses of the Western Cape for weeks to come.
It’s late. We’re spent. CT sleeps. Our God reigns!
Manila-KL-Jakarta-Jozi-Cape Town=WOW! We love you all!

WOW… Our God Reigns! The pictures say it all (I especially love the one of Shelley- its so wonderful to see her in front of the camera for a change :). God bless you all, and I pray that years down the road the world will be able to look back on these days and mark the catalyst for an unprecedented move of God. May He receive ALL the glory for it in order that Jesus Christ may have the reward of His suffering! Godspeed you each back home: it will be good to have you back, but what an amazing thing to now see the Kingdom just that much bigger! WE LOVE YOU ALL IN CAPE TOWN, JO-BURG, JAKARTA, KUALA LUMPUR, MANILLA, LONDON, PARIS, KAMPALA, STOCKHOLM, and KIEV, AND WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU IN OUR PRAYERS!
Much Love in Jesus,

It was a deep privilege to serve as a volunteer tonight here in Capetown, all the way from Costa Mesa, California by way of a summer spent in Pretoria, South Africa. I had tears in my eyes many times thinking and watching and participating in the wave of God’s Kingdom that He is building globally. Tonight was simply another drop in the bucket…
Believing greater things are coming for Capetown, and that that reality begins with me.
August 13th, 2008 at 8:13 PM
Beautiful pictures! The first one particularly is stunning!
And great news from CT! I can’t wait for the podcast!
Now it’s time again to take some well deserved rest! Meanwhile, Mexico be ready! :-)
So many things have happened since Passion Sao Paulo, but it’s all so fresh in my mind, heart and spirit. Reminding those days and being part of all this God world thing has been such a strong encouragement as I face the struggles to make Jesus famous in my own reality. So, thank you so much for letting us join you guys through the pictures, the blog posts and the podcasts!
Everyday my wrist band gets more worn out, but I’m guessing it will last until Sydney. It’s a constant reminder of this big God story we all get to be part of. And it IS amazing. Event though I’m not able to join you guys physically, my heart and prayers are constantly with all the team and the cities.
Greater things are yet to come! Thank you Lord!
Love

shikes – three comments already up there and it is like 2am in South Africa at this time!wow thanks so much for putting up this post Louie at this crazy hour of the morning! The pictures speak louder than words. Last nite when I went to bed (10pm Australian time – we prayed for ya’ll all in Cape Town to be blessed, encouraged, uplifted, rewarded by God’s good grace and mercy and enduring love, unending compassion…with a deep real knowledge that He is in control of everything. It is so great to read the words of encouragement. I got up this morning at 5.30 AUS time (14th Aug) which is 9.30pm Wed 13 in South Africa knowing that right now 18 hours away from here in Brisbane God is being God and doing what only He does best – changing lives with His amazing good news. Got into uni at 7.30am (SA 11.30pm) – and although I have been doing some work, it has been hard to concentrate – to waiting was just killing me – so i went for a 30min walk again praying for ya’ll.
Truly we serve a mighty God.
I thank God so much for you all Passion team for your obedience and down right humility to simply be a sign post to God – pointing others to the Everliving God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or even think.
Have a safe trip back home, rest, recuperate before hitting it again…:)
cant wait for ya’ll to hit Aussie shores :)
I always find this so surreal still that although we are so far apart on our different continents, we have never even met, yet through Jesus Christ and this International Passion Movement uniting uni students for His renown, we are part of one big big big big, multi-cultural, multi-coloured happy family.
WoW – heaven is going to be so much fun hey!:)
God Bless everyone
Go South Africa…keep the fire burning – God will change our wonderful country!
August 13th, 2008 at 8:20 PM

There isn’t a problem, an issue, a period of turmoil or a crisis that bring me to my knees as quickly and completely as God’s love and grace. Tonight was a phenomenal reminder of that. I just pray that as Jesus sees His people all over the world rising up to honour His name, He smiles. Thank you Passion! May the reminder you guys bring live long and go far in the city of Cape Town
Here’s to praying for all the Ashleys of this world!
August 13th, 2008 at 8:25 PM
Hey
What an incredible night, encouraging renewing, an experience i wont forget!
To be able to sing and worship with 6000 other people WOW!!! Thanks to the whole passion team for bringing it to South Africa hopefully we’ll see you again!!!
Thank you for sharing the story of Ashlee, just 14 days from athiest to Christian, our God truly is great!!!!
“My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save”
My bangle isn’t coming off until 3rd October! My prayers with Passion Mexico!!!
God Bless

August 13th, 2008 at 8:31 PM
oh yeah one more thing…
it just hit me…The CAPE OF GOOD HOPE!
Amen and amen!
Bring it on!
Talk about letting ur light shine – jeepers the name speaks for itself :).
The Hope of Humanity was glorified in a most amazing unified way last nite.
Hey another thing – I just realise that the underlying thing about Passion is not just making Jesus famous, but uniting the Body of Christ.
All of us -together – in this life – in our own lives – our own individual worlds lifting up Jesus – across borders – across races – across cultures – across backgrounds – across denominations – across timezones – lifting up the name of Jesus.
And the bible says in Ps that God will command a blessing when we are together in Unity. Plus Jesus said that If He is lifted up He will draw all peoples unto Him.
Okay world – get ready cause the body of Christ across uni’s spilling out into our families and friends and churches are united as one to lift up the name above all names.
o yeah – God is so good. Souls will be saved :).
Party time in heaven no doubt :)
Gear up Mehico – your turn next!
August 13th, 2008 at 8:50 PM
TO Louie, Shelley, & Passion TEam,
WOW !! Thank you for seeng the vision & believing and listening to the calling of God!! Thank you to our Savior who Made the World Tour possible (supernatural move of GOd)!! It has opened my eyes beyond the American church to see other hungering for JEsus and reminding me that GOD IS AT WORK AMONG THE NATIONS (no more tunnel vision for me)!!!! Thank you students for posting and sharing your stories!!
I have been honored to have prayed with you guys, volunteered with Passion and have gotten to know you & some of your team (personllay) over the past year!! It was through the HGIOG tour and serving with passion that GOd renewed my calling to serve in ASIA (for this I am grateful)!! Now less than 12 days before I leave to South Korea (hopefully visiting and making connections to serve in other countries short term)
AS I fly out ..my prayer is that God continues major heart surgery this year on me (Fire fall down on me) and HAS in HIS Way in my life ….MAy I be obediant so I may be useful To Jesus wherever in HIs kingdom!!
Again Thank you to all….including MATT, CT, DCB, & CHARLIE
God Bless,
Angela
p.s AS stated before great pic of shelley :-) as well the photo of Daniel!! I also like the photo 5th from top!! cannot wait for the book of photos to be released and of course the DVD —hint-hint!!
August 13th, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Thank you Passion team for coming to Cape Town. It was one of the most life changing events.
This is the generation that is going to turn this world upside down (actually right side up).
Tonight’s (actually last night’s) story of Ashely made me think of how many opportunities of getting people saved, we allow to past by us and how selfish we can some times be. I want to be one of those people who makes their life count and lives for something bigger than themselves.
I will not take my wrist band of until after you visited my amigos in Mexico on 3-4 of October. I will be praying for them. Mexico, you can expect a great move of God.
I pray that God’s angels encamps around you while you travel back home.
We love you all.
God bless you.

Thank u for ur vision, thank u for walking in obedience. God started something and He will move with fire thru this world. Be blessed and rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS!
Luv Renata
August 14th, 2008 at 1:03 AM
Last night was awesome and moving, thank you Loiue, Chris and team(s) for the great work you are doing for our God!!
Romans 8:31,32 – If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Let us all now be fruits and nuts, go out there, and bake a huge fruitcake with Him as our leader.
Thanks fellow fruitcakes!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:20 AM
Greater things are yet to come in this city ….!!!!!! Not only for our city Cape Town, but also for each and every city in the world – I believe that!
Thank you Passion team. It was wonderful worshipping God with everybody. There is no one like our God!
Mexico, we will be praying for you guys. God is a miracle working God and with Him ALL things are possible!!
Love you all!!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:25 AM
When i looked over the crowd last night with their hands up in the air swaying to the music it reminded me of the typical African prairy grass caressed by a light breeze….And in the middle of that field, there was an open piece where that same breeze was playfully picking up the red dust causing a little twirl and gently letting it fall to the ground again like we see on an African sunset postcard.
…and in every speck of dust, i saw the souls of those around me, the soul of those gone before me and the souls yet to be born, dancing and rejoicing — and the breeze was Jesus
Thanks Loius, Chris and band – the show was CRAZY(lol)
August 14th, 2008 at 1:28 AM
Ahhh…. Cape Town…. you were in my heart and thoughts all night! I could barely sleep last night and couldn’t wait to log on this morning. I can see you were blessed with the Awesome Presence of our Father.
Louie, Shelley & The Passion Team, have a well deserved break. You are going to need it if things are going the way it is at the moment. Chris, this line is for you. In the song Sing, Sing, Sing, the words “What’s not to love about You” – man, they spoke so hard too me. Something just hit home and I redisocovered why I fell in love with Jesus 10 years ago. Thank you for that!
Mexico City – be prepared. You have such a beautiful country. Make yourselves a vessle for God to change yet another nation towards Him. Let the Light of Jesus shine and light up this world that was created by Him and for Him! And like we told so many Capetonians – come with an expectation…. and God will do GREAT things.
Father, Son & Holy Spirit – thank you for rewarding us with Your great Presence. Thank you for restoring broken hearts, healing wounds that no eye can see and just plain loving us! Lord, we love YOU!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:29 AM
For His renown and His glory alone. For what He has done, for what He is still doing and for what He is STILL going to do!
Jesus, we love you. What an AWESOME God we serve!!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:30 AM
Oh MY!!! God is so AMAZING!
Wow again and WOW WOW WOW WOW!! We are united by God’s loving grace across the globe!
Cape Town, what a lovely place and I must say lovely fruitcakes for His renown! Glad that another 6000++ GOT IT!!
Louie and Passion Team you are amazing. I praise God for your lives. I praise God for a well end of Leg2. I’m praying that God will continue to use you and of course us in spreading Christ’s fame.

GOD IS SO SO GOOD…
This was a real time of getting closer to God and realizing how awesome and gracious our God is :) Man God can and continues to rock peoples socks off, WOOHOO!!!!
Our God is a great BIG God and He reigns forever more!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:36 AM
Louie,
Thanks from a greatful aunt. I volunteered in Jozi ad afterwards knew that my niece and nephew has to experience this. With much reluctance on their part they agreed that I could buy them tickets for Cape Town. It was also my nieces birthday so she really did not want to go because it was also bible study at their church. Like the aunt that I am I said everyone needs the “Passion Experience”. We prayed for Cape Town most of last night and I could not wait to phone my niece and nephew to hear what they had to say. Needless to say, they are both still speechless but buzzing knowing that God is a God of Grace.
Thank YOU!
Mandy
August 14th, 2008 at 1:37 AM
Hi Cape Town!
What beautiful pictures! You guys were in my thoughts and prayers and I was just wishing that I was there with you’ll last night! I was at Passion Jo’burg and I’ve been so in awe of the move of God in the place that night, I still cannot get over it! I just knew you guys were gonna be blessed right out of your socks!
May the Lord of Heaven and Earth unite all Christians around the globe for his Glory! “Glory to God, Forever”
How wonderful it is that I (as Celine) also watched the Indescribable DVD last night and wow, how beautiful. Just to think that the Creator of the entire Universe knows my name and every hair on my head! Wow wow wow!!
May God be praised!
Thank you Louie for being obedient to the call of God on your life and for allowing HIM to use you in such a powerful way. May HE bless you and your family abundantly! I pray that He will raise up others like you in this country (including myself) to reach the rest of the nation and this world with the light, love and grace of our Lord Jesus. Thanks for the injection of “Passion” you have deposited into the students of this nation! May the seed that has been planted by the Holy Spirit through you and the rest of the team, take root and flourish in our hearts.
Chris and the rest of the worship team, you guys rock!!
Mexico, South Africa will pray for you – be prepared to be shaken!
Love from Jozi!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:37 AM
P.S. I am addicted to this blog!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:38 AM
Our God is great! thank you so much for listening to Gods voice and joining us in our beautiful city last night!
After hearing Ashleys story last night-my heart cries out to be a history maker where ever God wants me!
Thank you for encouraging me in my walk with the King of kings and the Greatest God in the history of the universe!
Thanks again Passion Team-you guys are amazing!

August 14th, 2008 at 1:38 AM
Wow. Last night when I got home I read through my journal before going to sleep. Allow me to quote from my journal (like Louie did from Ashley’s last night) August 12th:
“I feel something big growing inside of me, something is being born. Can’t put words to it, don’t know exactly what it is… All I know is that I have one desire – I want to get out there in the world. I want to get out there and make Jesus famous…”
Thank you Passion for being faithful to this heart cry, I know it’s ringing out all over the world and confirming the desire of so many that are sold out to the hope that is in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Blessings blessings blessings…
August 14th, 2008 at 1:44 AM

OH MY WORD!!! How amazing was last night… God rocked that Velodrome like it has never been rocked before. God heard the cry of so many Capetonian hearts and He pulled through in a big way. “He is mighty to save”
He touched hearts, brought freedom to the captives and showered his love down on us. Passion u guys rock. Matt, Chris and Louie thank you for being faithful with what God has laid on your hearts.
Side note: I was bummed about not being able to make it last night and yesterday afternoon, God came through and I got a free ticket. Thank u… :-)
August 14th, 2008 at 1:52 AM
Our God reigns!! Last night was amazing!! If God is for us, who can be against us – God is going to change this city and this world. Great times are lying ahead – looking forward!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:52 AM
Louie – I am renewed (your words of one’s “life trajectory” is still with me) – I don’t have words to describe His awesome Power, it leaves me humbled. Thank you to all parties who contributed in making this the BEST event I have ever attended. To Louie, Chris, Matt and the team – you are blessed with a gift and I am just SO SO GLAD that you are living and preaching it.
To Mexico City:
¡Tenga cuidado México D.F.! Una onda de gracia viene su manera – y el Pueblo de Capa aguarda con ansia las buenas noticias. Puedele es bendecido increíble – para la iglesia se levantará en Su Nombre glorioso!!!

I WANT IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD NOW! i am going out in search of craziness for the GOSPEL…………….bring it on! HI 5… Still trying to grasp GRACE…. i want it to be as real to me as it was to him!!!

I still can’t believe that I attended my very first Passion right here in Cape Town!! Thank you SO much for coming to our beautiful city – I truly believe that the team came at the perfect God-appointed time…
Firstly, thank you for sharing Ashley’s story with us again… It is simply amazing to see how her story is touching and turning hearts back to Jesus all across the globe… Also, thank you for all the hours, flights and admin that you put into making this World Tour possible – it was, is (and will be for the 3rd leg of the tour…) all worth it… What a privilege to have been a part of this…
Enjoy the last few sunny days in Cape Town!
Praying for Mexico on October 3rd :)

August 14th, 2008 at 2:07 AM
What an amazing night! but not cuz the passion team was thr, but because God, and his army were!! there is something unstoppable and awesome about an army of believers all facing the same direction, and in our day to day lives we loose sight of the fact that Gods kingdom isnt coming in the future, its happening right now! and to see soo many people in one place all worshiping one God, with one voice, with one objective, was not only encouraging, but amping!! and i hope we all walked out of that party with a new heart for the lost and for our city cuz “Greater things have yet to come, greater things are still to be done, in the CITY!!”
Louie and the team, u did an outstanding job, n its an honour to fight this war with you!
Rock ON!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:08 AM
Wow, wow, wow!!! What an amazing experience!!! I’m on such a high and it’s all because of the Big Guy! Praise His name!
Thank you so much for coming all the way to the S of A to make this thing happen. What a mind blowing experience.
He is so good and His love endures forever and we hold firm to the promise that “Greater things have yet to come!!!”
Bring it on Lord, we are ready, eager and waiting!
All the best for leg 3 – may God’s favour and blessing rest upon you! And we’re all praying BIG prayers for Mexico!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:09 AM

What an AWESOME experience it was to attend last night’s Passion show!! To see so many of God’s children together and to worship Him as 1 – WOW, WOW, WOW!
This morning, as I thought back to last night, I was thinking about Revelations 5:11-14:
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of millions and millions of angels. They surrounded the throne. They surrounded the living creatures and the elders. 12 In a loud voice they sang,
“The Lamb, who was put to death, is worthy! He is worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength! He is worthy to receive honor and glory and praise!”
13 All creatures in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and all that is in them, were singing. I heard them say,
“May praise and honor for ever and ever be given to the One who sits on the throne and to the Lamb! Give them glory and power ‘for ever and ever!”
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
If last night’s worship was so breathtakingly awesome, how much more will it not be in heaven with millions and millions of God’s children?!
Thanks Louie, Chris, Matt & the rest of the Passion team for a night I’ll remember for a long, long time! May God bless you in the coming events!
Blessings!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:23 AM

August 14th, 2008 at 2:26 AM
The best response to my experience last night would be to post a message without any words because the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit left me speechless. I am so excited for the plans God has for CT and the move of the Holy Spirit in this place – Coz i know greater things are still to be done – in this city!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:26 AM
Wow!!!!
What an awesome evening!!! Praise God :-) It was so awesome to praise God with 6,000 other awesome people and just to see people start shining their lights. May God use our praise and our prayers to not just change Cape Town, but to change the whole of Africa and the Whole world!

August 14th, 2008 at 2:28 AM
U.N.B.E.L.I.E.V.A.B.L.E!! I knew the whorship was going to be good… Lets face it its passion… but mix in a sufficient helping of Holy Spirit and the night became one like no other. I’m not a man of many words so all I can say is Thank You God for your grace… In Cape Town and around the world.
August 14th, 2008 at 2:30 AM
WOW WOW WOW…. God is awesome! Guys, don’t go back to “normal”. Live out loud, and shine for all the world to see!
In Matthew 5:16 Jesus said, “…let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
Let them see that Jesus lives through your life!
Mexico City…… We’re praying for you!!! Get ready for heaven to invade your city!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:30 AM
THAT WAS LIFE CHANGING!!!!!!!!!
Once in your life something happens in your life and changes the way your life was going.
The power of the Almighty God is with the Passion Concert!And that Power changed my life a 180 degrees.There is a GREATER story to be told…than my 80+ years to be told!there is a name far GREATER than my 8 letterd name!
The Story of Ashley touched me….And i completly believe with every drop of my faith that God will use me for HIS GLORY!
…WOW…a Love and Grace so Amazing
L WILL LIVE FOR HIM
August 14th, 2008 at 2:33 AM
How can words compare to the wonderful works God has done in CT last night!!I get chills everytime I think about it…I can only keep singing and praying that GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO COME AND BE DONE IN THIS CITY!!! It was just awesome to drive back from the velodrome to Stellebosch, stopping at McD’s and find the place filled with sstudents talking, giggeling and singing about what God has just done at Passion.
Mexico City prepare for great and mighty things to happen in October…Prayers from Stellenbosch are flowing for you!
Thnx Louie, Chris, Matt and the team for leading us to the throne of God, giving all glory and honour to our Most High!!
Jesus Christ IS ALIVE!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:33 AM
Cape Town was amazing last night! The Passian team was out of this world!! Awsome!!!!!
Mexico be prepaired!! Bless you all!!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:34 AM
Amazing grace!!!
it’s the most amazing priveledge to be able to serve along side so many fellow brothers and sisters of Christ!!! last night was most definitely a mile stone in the history of Cape Town- seriously! God did some crazy stuff last night. I most definitely believe that God is releasing His grace, power and love on this country and as we truly beleive that that is for us and we ACCEPT it, the most insane things are going to start happening in CT!!! our city is meant for so much more, and so much more is yet too come- we’ve just got to start beleiving and stepping out in Faith knowing that the creator of the universe has got our backs… what could ever stop us?! i mean how crzy is that concept alone- the creator of the universe has CHOSEN us to be his decicples and to do the most amazing job ever— SPREADING HIS LOVE!
I am proud to say that i am CRAZY for our God, and so ready to spread that craziness with the rest of Stellenbosch uni and the rest of Cape Town.
Someone loved me enough to look past all my faults, troubles and hang-ups and it is my mission to do the same!
Mexico- do you have something coming your way!!!! we’re praying here in Cape Town that the God of the universe would so richly bless your lives in such a way that nothing or no one would be able to stop you from spreading his Light to the rest your world.
I pray that God would most definitely shake, shape and shift us into the people and countries He has planned us to be.
Cape Town big things are coming— are you ready???
August 14th, 2008 at 2:34 AM
WOW! How GREAT is our GOD!!
God will shine His light on south africa like never before!! I can’t wait!!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:34 AM
Passion CT was one of the most amazing events I have ever been to in my life. And as a pastor I have been to a few. I stood and could basically only sing half of each song, the rest of the time I was either crying, or raptured in the glorious presence of the Lord.
I was enflamed again for our beloved city and country. We look at our circumstances and its easy to lose hope. Yet, when we sang, Greater things are yet to come, greater this are still to be done in the city, I knew that God ain’t done with us yet! The name of the tour is apt! – Passion. Thank Louie, Chris, Matt (you are my favorite artist, by the way. I love your heart and your music. It was truly a blessing to see you). You have restored my passion again. I thank God for sending you to spread the message of the GOOD NEWS! All the best for the next leg. We are definitely praying for you. All Glory to GOD!
Mexico be ready – a Hurricane is coming your way and its called the Glory of GOD!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:35 AM

WOW! Praise the God who is above all names! Jesus is alive and moving in Cape Town! I thank God for Passion that have blessed us so. My prayers are with them always. To see 6000 young people standing in faith and believing God for greater things in this country is humbling and wonderful! Gods spirit moved everyone of us and as we enter the rest of lives today, we carry the message of hope and grace with us. We stand before this country filled with the promise of grace and mercy! As young people we choose to stand for our generation and make His name famous! Praise God and bless you Passion! xxx

Last night was amazing!! Incredible seeing so many Christians gather together to lift God up in Cape Town. Praying that this will be the start of a huge revival, we can change our generation-not by our strength or words but by His!
Imagine the impact we could have on our city if each of the 6000 people there last night would reach one person for Jesus. Ashleigh’s story reminds us that it is possible- God can do anything,even change a heart in a couple of days! God has yet to do even greater things in this city. I’m holding out for that!
Thanks to Louie,Chris,Matt and the entire Passion team for your faithfulness in doing what God has called you to do. May you be incredibly blessed as you continue your ministry!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:45 AM
Ps. Mexico City Cape Town is praying for you big time! Make way, the Glory of God is coming! We love you !!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:45 AM
WOW WOW WOW!!!! Awesome!
Our God is mighty to save! That song got a new meaning for me yesteray! It’s basicly a summery of what we believe! Beautiful!
Thnx Louis, Chris, and the band! You guys are great and I promise you God is looking down and smiling on you guys! Thnx for spreading the gospel in such a beautiful way! Hope to worship our great God with you guys again someday!!!
Many Blessings!!! <

i would just like to SHOUT IT OUT! that our God is mighty to safe anyone who calls upon that MIGHTY name…. i was totally washed away by the powerful experience of mercy and grace all in one… and it gives me hope to know that my Lord Jesus Christ can really move mountains, He can really moved into our day to day life’s and make a difference, last night i saw relationship being restored, prophecies being for fulled, heaven opening up it’s gates and pouring out God’s blessings on the future of Cape Town, South Africa…. that is us Cape Town…. God is sooooo Goood to us, let us as one body be that goodness to the rest of the city…. let us shine our light for Jesus…… let us do it for the glory of our risen KING!!!!!!

WITH FLYING COLORS Luke 10:25-37
Daring Explorer,
Surprise! Here I AM again, assuring you that I AM greater than your keen intellect. I have all kinds of interesting ways of cropping up, don’t I?
What! Me give up on the Church? You must be joking. As for organized religiosity, as you well know, that is something I have never endorsed! So how could I give up on something I never had anything to do with in the first place? I have no intention of ever giving up on the world, so there is no way I will ever give up on the Church. That is because, in its purest essence, the Church is made up of radical rescuers like yourself. Such individuals detest religious hypocrisy while they yearn to lavish healing love on marginalized and suffering people. The Church—the true Body of Christ—is dedicated to bringing deliver-ance to the lost and displaced of the world, while organized religion aspires to escape the world and “go to Heaven.” My radical restorers yearn for Love’s desire to be fully accomplished on earth just as it is in Heaven. No offense intended, but I think you need to familiarize yourself a bit more with the Bible.
Are you aware that I love agnostics and atheists? Many of these are “good Samaritans” and are among the most honest people I know. They are not afraid to ask hard questions. They refuse to pretend reverence toward abuse that parades itself as “spirituality.” Many who question My existence come through with flying colors when it comes down to what is dear to My heart: actually helping people. You and I are bet ter friends than you know!
I was just thinking of Jesus… How much honest investigating have you done regarding His claims? I couldn’t resist asking. By the way, I interpret all heart longings as prayers. So be prepared for a few notable miracles. I know how desperately you need them.
With Deepest Understanding, Your Real Dad
August 14th, 2008 at 2:53 AM

CT loves you :)
August 14th, 2008 at 3:00 AM
WOW WOW WOW! I’ve been part of the body of Christ for most of my 32 years and never have I been so overwhelmed by the sheer number and loudness of people in love with the King of Kings, Jesus Christ of Nazareth! I had the privilege of being a volunteer last night, I was exhausted by the time my hubby and I arrived home, and this morning my ears are still ringing from the loudness of it all, but the shout that arose when the name of Jesus appeared on the screen will remain in my heart forever! Today at work, I am exhausted but blessed beyond belief as the message of Grace burns bright in my soul, ready to set someone else’s life aflame with the love of God. When I teach at Bible School again this coming Tuesday I will certainly be bringing the message of Ashley with me. Thank you Louie and the team, it was incredible to serve – amazing that I was so blessed to have the opportunity. Our God reigns! Much love in Christ, Michelle H
August 14th, 2008 at 3:03 AM
Great Stuff! Thanks! I’m so excited for each individual who went. Mexico, my wrist has a band on it reminding me to pray for you.
Keep dominating for God.
August 14th, 2008 at 3:04 AM
The grace of God is something that seems to be so huge that is it difficult to really understand…we go through life knowing the story of the passion and yet staying in the ‘right mind’ for the wrong reasons!! Last night was a moment where i could loose my ‘right mind’ for the RIGHT reason…Worshipping God with 6000 brothers and sisters knowing that there were thousands more praying was absolutely…WOW!!
To be reminded of the grace and the story – THE STORY, was a cup of fresh water – in the face!! Lets wake up CT and let us be a part of the greater things to come in CT!!!
While looking around yesterday at everyone in the vellodrome I saw everyone as lights – going out into the city and actually being Christians ie fruitcakes!!!!
Go God and lead your people in your kingdom!!!!
Let us make JESUS famous!!!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:05 AM
WOW!!! thats the only word I can use to describe last night! it was truly truly AMAZING! God touched me in a way I have never felt before!!!!
Thank you Louie and the passion band for coming to our City and bringing everyone together for one of the most awesome nights I have ever experienced!!!
God bless!

What an awesome evening.
My wife and I left rejuvinated and reminded of the crux of what this is all about, and amped to continue the good work God has given us a burden for!
You guys really, really, REALLY rock!!!
Thanks you so much for listening to God’s voice and embarking on this adventure. We trust that God will keep your team strong and use you powerfully to spread His word of the salvation Jesus Christ has obtained for all of us – indeed, it’s only through grace that we are saved. We pray that your ministry will grow beyond your wildest dreams!
Come to think of it, we pray that your BOLDNESS will rub off wherever you go!
Hang on to your socks Mexico – blessings are heading your way.
God’s not done with our cities!!!
*hugz* and blessings to all
August 14th, 2008 at 3:14 AM
Would trying to express in words of what happened last night do HIM any justice?
“My chains are gone…I have been set free…My God,my saviour has ransomed me”
When singing this last night and hearing the story of Ashley the Holy Spirit took me back to my life when i was in captivity and needed someone to pay a ransom for my life. I love and live the freedom i walk in now but something so BIG happened last night. I was reminded of where i was and GRACE became tangible to me. I then thought about the friends i am walking a road with and received such perspective of where they are at and his love started to flow in me and through prayer for them.
NO person is out of reach of HIS Grace!!!!!!
Jesus you are my lover, my rock, my salvation!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:15 AM
wow. all i can say, over and over . WOW WOW WOW.
had a blast! thanks to all the volunteers and camera crew:) but beyond that, the presence of god is amazing! amazing beyond amazing. Its so incredible to see so many young people stepping out and worshipping god.
Passion team, youve got hold of something powerful! going to change lives of people all over the world. Wow
God bless!!

August 14th, 2008 at 3:15 AM

12 000 hands lifting up His name – He must’ve been smiling as He heard His children praising Him and pouring their hearts out to Him. And His grace is more than enough to cover not only the 6000 radiant faces in CT but also in Stockholm, Sao Paolo, Paris, Kuala Lumpur, Mexico City….. Amazing grace!
I pray that God may bless each one of the awesome passion team for the time, energy, prayers, love, passion, hard work and sleep-deprived nights that you are investing for one purpose only: to make His name known to the world. Your hearts are beautiful! Thank you for letting God use you to bring joy and encouragement to us young people! Mexico City – look forward to being deeply moved by the strong hand of our King.

Cobus (above) is my boyfriend, and he’s training for the youth patorate… Anyhoo, I never really got the whole grace thing. My parents always told me I have to deserve God’s forgiveness, and that he is too far removed from us that we can never experct that from Him. Thnx for preaching a NEW gospel to me, The ONLY Gospel of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!!
I’m also at an Art School desperately in need of God, yet so far from Him. From now on ill live that my life shines so that all will see His Glory! Not to judge them but to LOVE them!
Thanx and God BLess

Thank you Passion team that you dedicate your lives for His Kingdom and that you bring love, compassion and a message of healing and a life worth living with the great music, music that uplifts and inspires and mainly raises up the one Name above all names.
Cape Town loves Passion and Cape Town loves Jesus!

W-O-W !!!!
THANK YOU for all the hard work and dedication you have put in to inspire and encourage us to make Jesus famous!
Mexico-City is being prayed for – HUGE blessings and encouragement!
God is not done with our city, our country, continent and world! GREATER things are yet to come, GREATER things are still to be done in our cities!
God bless!

Holy, holy, holy is the Lorg God Allmighty!
HEy, waht can I say. AMAZING GRACE!
I just want to thank everyone who was there who helped to make it the highlight of the year. I had no idea what to expece, but whatever it was, the idea of 6000 believers under one roof sounded like a great idea. Adding the Passion team to the equation, and then most of all, the priesence of the Lord God allmighty, made for the most honest, explosive and wonderfull worship event that ive been to this year!
I imagine heaven being allot like this, a multitude of believers praising God with all that we have.
Mexico city, you better prepare yourself, because if it is gonna be as big as I hope it to be, you will be blown away!
GRACE!

All honour and praise and glory and power to the ONLY One that can move our mountain and all its people.
Our hope, joy, faith and passion is in YOU and YOU alone Lord Jesus.
Thank you to the Passion team for your amazing hearts – your pure and holy passions to see His name lifted in this generation! Last night you spoke His Word so accurately -nothing less and nothing more. His TRUTH, his WORD has so much power and I know that it freed thousands of hearts and minds last night!
Thank you for the sentence you wrote in the second last paragraph – truly inspiring and i believe that if we all do this we will see Him doing great things in this City! :”It’s tomorrow that our zeal must turn into action as justice becomes ‘love out’ as the grace that’s set us free moves us in that freedom to extend mercy and healing to anyone who needs their heart put back together again with God.”
Blessings to you and your team for the road ahead! We will be praying for Mexico!!
Much love

August 14th, 2008 at 3:32 AM
WOW,WOW,WOW.
What a awesome night it was!!!
What an amazing gift to, once again, realize the grace of our Father and the love He has for His children.
Mexico city, be ready to experience a life changing night. You’re in our prayers.
South Africa, stand in faith, for God is greater than anything we can understand and ‘greater things are yet to come and still to be done’.
August 14th, 2008 at 3:36 AM
A word of thanks, firstly to our awsome God and our saviour Jesus. Secondly to the whole Passsion team. Last night lives were saved. we took our entire crew of recovering addicts along and I witnessed changes that we have never been able to achieve. The Cape Town youth/ student population is amazing. You were excellent examples to some lost souls last night. You probably aren’t even aware of the changes you brought about in these broken peoples lives. For them to see young people having a great time without drugs was a first. Isn’t God just amazing! As for me and my team, we are still amped and freshly motivated for the work we have to do. Jesus we thank you for these wonderfull people. He can do anything!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:40 AM
PASSION CAPE TOWN: WOW!
Our Lord God and savior is just so amazing. we cant even begin to comprehend his full power! it just blows us away!
we live in such a broken eneration with so much hurt and pain and suffering, but it is so awesome to see 6000+ young people standing in the gap for all our friends who dont know you and this broken generation.
we have to believe with all our heart that God is going to use us and use us in a big way to make a difference.
Greater things have yet to come and greater things are stil to be done in this city. wow what a vision to hold on to and draw strength from.
From now on, every time i sing the song mighty to save, i will think of ashley and her amazing story. how great God is that He can change a heart in just 2 weeks!!!
To Louie, Chris and the rest of the passion team… you guys rock in the way you serve God!
To Mexico City! we are praying for you! if my wristband lasts, it will stay on my arm til october!!! May God bless you like He has blessed us!!!
xoxo
August 14th, 2008 at 3:40 AM
Awesomeness!!! God is good, ALL the time!
An amazing night in Cape Town, young people giving it up for our Lord… and i was blessed to be standing there with you all!!!
The future… correction… the NOW generation of Christians is looking brilliantly set to give God our everything…
I’m stoked… looking forward to whatever He has in store for Cape Town……….. and the world….. :)

Mexico City hope you are ready to experience the wonderful grace of our Father. Last night was an amazing and wonderful experience, seeing so many people together and so in love with Jesus.
We’re letting the bright light of Jesus shine through us as we have been enabled by His amazing grace and love. Thank you Passion team for being a great example of that. Mexico City we love you and were praying for you!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:42 AM

August 14th, 2008 at 3:43 AM
Cape Town, our work begins now!!!!! God’s grace – our mission – “LET MY LIGHT SHINE… AND THE WHOLE WORLD SEE”.
**Louie G, your post about last night was perfect: “tonight was really about tomorrow. Its tomorrow that our ZEAL MUST TURN INTO ACTION as Justice becomes ‘love out’ as the grace that sets us free moves to heal and restore the broken hearted!” (paraphrased).
GRACE HAS SET US FREE – LETS CARRY GOD’S MEANS OF RECONCILIATION THROUGH THE CROSS TO THE BROKEN, DOWNTRODDEN, OPPRESSED, AND ANY ONE WHO NEEDS PUTTING BACK TOGETHER (all of us). LETS MOVE TO RECONCILE SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!
***************
“EVERYONE NEEDS COMPASSION… THE KINDNESS OF A SAVIOUR… THE HOPE OF NATIONS….
OUR GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!!!! HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!!!!”
MEXICO… We have 51 days to pray for you!!!! And South Africans love to pray and pray hard!!! Mexico City… Cape Town loves you guys!
Passion team… we pray for God to finish the work in you that he has begun… to finish the race with peace, joy and renewed purpose!!! See you again! Hope you enjoyed the biltong and rugby and our city!

Words truely cannot descibe the way i feel… I must say i have been to thousands of parties and clubs but non of them came close to how awsome last night was!

JESUS died for ME, So I LIVE for HIM…

One word: Wow! If this is what worship is like on earth, then I can’t wait for it in heaven.
Thank you so much to Louie, Chris and the band, Matt, the Passion team back in Atlanta and wherever else you are and the volunteers. Its been a long road for you guys, but we love you for it and praise God for all that he has accomplished (and all that is to come) as a result.
Mexico City, you are in our prayers. A wave is going to hit you come October, so be ready because greater things are going to come in your city. To all the other cities with thousands of friends (fellow fruitcakes!) that we have never met, but will surely meet up with in heaven – you are in our prayers too.
Big African love,
A
P.S: It looks like the weather is improving, so I hope you guys get a chance to go up the mountain :)
August 14th, 2008 at 3:45 AM
Let me just start by saying that I am totally in love with the creator of the universe!! He is absolutely mind-blowing.
Last night was ….(I don’t think words can explain what I want to say)
Cape Town – We need to realise that God’s plan for our city is BIG! He kept asking me last night whether I would stand up and be counted. So I want to pass the question to everyone: Will you stand up and take back from satan, will you be God’s righteousness in a world that has a critical need for the hoipe we carry in our hearts.
My answer: YES LORD I WILL GO! I will do anything!
What’s your answer?
Its time to get passionate about God’s agenda!
PS Mexico City better come expecting BIG things cause Cape Town has your back in prayer!!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:47 AM
The experiance was so AWESOME!!!!!
GOD was there for sure!!!!
Thank you JHB for all your prayers,
I think I can say that everyone was really blessed.
Mexico you are in my prayers.
Thank you to Louie and the team for putting together
a wonderful evening. It was a true blessing.
May God go with you on your journey.

August 14th, 2008 at 3:50 AM
Hey fellow fruitcakes @ Passion & the WORLD!
There is something that just resonates in your spirit when you hear the absolute truth of the Gospel… GRACE is my favourite word! last night was really a blessing, Passion gave words and expression to what God speaks into my heart when I am with Him. What an encouragement, I take the grace of God with me where ever I am, and THAT is what makes a difference! Whether our influence is thousands of people or 1 person, whether we are seen or unseen it makes no difference, let the Father take all the glory! Please Jesus, give us your heart!
Like Paul says, “let your conversation be always seasoned with grace”!
WE ARE THE GENERATION! Watch out Megiko!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:50 AM
Wow, our God is awesome, and greater things are to come in CT! It’s awesome to be a part of where God is going and what God is doing! Mexico City we’re praying for you, and Jozi, we’re praying for you too! God is going to rock your city, your nations, your churches and your lives, allow God to take all of you, be his, and make his name famous!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:51 AM
I am quite speechless actually. The power and presence of God is beyond words and I cannot even begin to imagine what will happen when so many people with a revelation of grace and passionate for Jesus impact Cape Town!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:52 AM
Lastnight was awesome..it changed my life:)It was sucha blessing!
Thanks Louie and the team for making Jesus Famous!!!
“FOR GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO COME AND GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO BE DONE IN THIS CITY!!! AMEN!!!”

OUR GOD REIGNS!!!!!!!
In may of this year, while on a leadership retreat, God told me that He is going to send me to America. I cried for about an hour (Last place I thought I’d be going) When I got home he told me to google Louis Giglio and Cape Town. I did this and an excitement started growing in me when I saw that Passions was coming to CT. I had such a huge expectancy of God last night and He did not let me down. It was Awesome. God presence was Amazing. So Thanks to the whole Passions team for what God is doing through you.
I dont know when (Although its soon I think), I dont know how, but I am excited to know that God wants to send me to do His work, and I am so willing to go spread His name.
Amen
August 14th, 2008 at 4:02 AM

August 14th, 2008 at 4:16 AM
All glory to God for what He is busy doing. I really believe that God is busy raising up a genaration for Himself with only one goal and one reward. The goal is for all people to know the love of God that is greater far than anything we can imagine and the reward is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Like Genesis 15:1 says, “After these things the Word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your shield and your exceeding great reward.”
and Psalm73:25 – Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
To Him and Him alone be the glory.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:18 AM
Praise be to the God All Mighty, Jesus Mishiah.
Cape Town it seems like you have had an unforgettable and life changing experience. We serve a great GOD that lives today and is busy raising up a generation for His renown and to get His message out to the World.
All the Glory be to God for all the lives changed, hearts filled with His love and Joy.
Its Thursday and I’m still pumped up…reading all these blog post just charges me so much more. Our made the biggest sacrifice ever for us…little old us…cant get over it…The Cross – Still get it. We have to keep Jesus close and keep the yearning in our lives and the let the Holy fire of our saviour Burn brightly through us. Lets make Jesus Famous.
Louie, Shelley, Chris, Steve and every person in the Passion team. Thank you again for the work that you do and that you have given your life to be used by God for his work. May he continue to hold you close and bless your lives so it may be drenched all the way through into every aspect.
Mexico!!! You are in for one amazing day October 3rd.
All of us here in Jozi have decided to keep on praying for every stop on the Passion Tour. We will be joined by our friends in Cape Town and it seems like many of the previous stops will be joining us in this movement. There is great power in numbers and we are all praying for you and your city may it be forever changed by the King of king and the Lord of lords.
Glory to God!! HALLELUJAH!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:19 AM
Last night’s teaching was awesome.
Thanks Louie for keeping it basic. We’ve got an Almighty, Indescribable God. But we also got a very basic, easy to understand God.
Our God is Love, through GRACE.
“Because of Grace, God can love ANYONE!!””
August 14th, 2008 at 4:19 AM
PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!
THANK YOU, JESUS, OUR SAVIOUR AND KING. FOR YOUR GRACE IS FLOWING THROUGH CT AND THE WORLD.

Love sue x
August 14th, 2008 at 4:23 AM
WOW!!! There are few words that can describe what happened last night!!! GOD is so awesome and amazing, his love for us is so strong.
Cape Town was bursting with love and awe for our mighty GOD, i believe everyone got put into their “right” mind last night, although some leaked a little “crazy”.
Thank you to Louie, Chris, Matt, and the rest of the Passion team for one of the most influential moments of my life.
To Cape Town, the batton has been passed on to us, so lets show the world the love we have for one another and mostly for our great and awesome God.
Mexico City get ready to be blown away by the grace of God, will be praying for you all.
Love Kyle
August 14th, 2008 at 4:23 AM
I stood in worship last night and it just dawned on me how we a lot of the times pray about how God promises us life and life in abundance, and how we especially use this to encourage people when things in their circumstances are not exactly going as they expected. We pray this as if it is something that still needs to happen…. when in fact, that Day when Jesus SAVED me, that is EXACTLY what happened. He gave me LIFE because I was DEAD! It is not a promise that still needs to be fulfilled – obviously the fruit of it will manifest on this earth already – but the fact remains that I HAVE received LIFE, and He gave it abundantly!!!
And then Louie came up to preach…..
I sat there crying, repenting of everything I make it to be and of forgetting what God has DONE! Isaiah 12:3 says: Therefore with joy you will draw waters from the wells of salvation! Nevermind our circumstances, the fact that we are SAVED and have access to the Father and to eternal life will never change!!
PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!
Passion – thank you for being faithful to the mandate God gave you and blessing us last night with an amazing event – Mexico….all I can say is FROM GLORY TO GLORY!!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:26 AM
God is infiltrating every facet of this city and the world at large. You have been strategically placed wherever you find yourself to make an impact!
Find out what that impact is and hit it hard!!

When i left the Velodrome last night and it was raining pretty hard…the song that came to me was “Let it rain” by Michael.W.Smith.
Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
God truly opened up the floodgates on Cape Town last night and you know why? Cause He’s the God of our city!!!
The message of Hope, is something we needed. Worshiping with 5,999 of my brothers and sisters in Christ with no concern for denomination or doctrine but with one common bond…Jesus!!! All i can say is WOW!
A big thank you to Passion and everyone involved – thank you for allowing yourselves to be the vessel of the message of Christ and taking the message of Hope to all the corners of the earth!!!
Mexico…watch out! Here comes a Christ filled team headed your way, backed with the prayers from crazy and beautiful Cape Town!
Lastly, there is no-one like our God, Jesus!!!
Blessings, J
P.S. Passion team, any chance we’ll see you in 2010 for the world cup? :)
August 14th, 2008 at 4:38 AM
Saturated with Insaneness!
Passion was amasing, such a renewal of potent life giving energy that saturates the spirit to make us cry out with joy! Incredible! I was amased at the uninhibited worship springing out of the people around me! It was like I was surrounded by Ninja’s. Hardcore!
I woke up singing this morning, my heart beating to a tune that I know is reverberated around my City today. 6 000 people are dancing to the same beat today and we all know the lyrics to the song of our saviour Jesus!
Passion folks, you are indeed a blessing, Gods hand is on you and it is catching. Last night jumped my faith and love for Jesus on such a deeply personal and dna-encrusted level that it is a transformation to my very soul.
you guys are a vehicle and channel to take the most self-serving of us towards that place when we go “oh Lord my God, I have been a silly,sily monkey.”
Stories like Ashley’s are pivetal to change our attitudes from fighting our Father to fighting for Him. Cape Town riseup and embrace our Lord! Lets carry the fever of Christ across our land.
Huge respect and love from this silly monkey.
Proudly South African!!!!
Mexico-potent stuff…prepare yourself for life shattering experience.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:39 AM
Hi All
What an awesome night. Everything done in EXCELLENCE… All for an EXCELLENT God! Mexico City, BRACE YOURSELVES! We are praying for you guy’s. I am so humbled and grateful that in my own small way I too can add to what the Lord is doing in His church world wide and also specifically for my brothers and sisters in Mexico City. From Cape Town we send loads of love! You guy’s ROCK!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:39 AM
Passion Cape Town! How awesome was it to worship God with 6000 other passionate people? We’re ready to do great things in our city!
Passion team – thanks for ignighting our passion with yours! Keep going with this and we’ll change our world!
Mexico City, we love you and we’re praying for your passion for Jesus to rock your city. Be ready, your time has come.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:40 AM
AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!!
I cant even start explaining the feeling inside of me, when we started worshipping…. It was a FEELING i havent experienced…..How GREAT to see so much young poeple hungry for the Lords voice….. ITS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Why cant South-Africa have more christian gatherings like this…. We are hungry for this, come on South-Africa lets shine our LIGHT EVERYWHERE WE GO, and always stand out for God’s name…..
IT WAS A BLESSED AND LOVELY EVENING PRAISING GOD FOR EVERYTHING WE RECEIVE SO FREELY FROM HIM EACH AND EVERY DAY….
TO GOD THE HONOUR AND THE GLORY…. YOU ARE AMAZING GOD!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:41 AM
A Friend asked me before we went to the show: “Yolanda, are you excited? I said: “How can I be excited if I don’t know what to expect?” He said: “I am so excited because this is going to be an experience that you will never going to forget”
I said: “How can you be so positive? I am always scared that if I am excited about something that I will be disappointed afterwards” He said: ” I am so excited it’s going to be awesome, I can not wait”
I thought how on earth he can feel like that…I must admit I’ve never been to a Christian concert before…
I was blown away… My friend wanted to go and stand way infront, but our family was way back in the side way stands. At first I did not want to, because I am not a student and not 17y old like my friend, but I am a 32y old married woman and did not want to go and stand among young students with out my hubby, but something inside me said stand up and go with him.
You can always come back. So I did, we were right in front of Louie and with the music and the young people arond me I just felt…Oh how I needed this !!! The tears just kept on falling and I could not believe how every one around me was so in love with Jesus (I thought I was but not like this) I could not stop looking at every one…it was amazing. I thought that I also wanted to feel like they are…well after Louie’s talk I felt like I wanted to burst !!!
Chris’s song: Great things still needs to be done in this city…Greater things still needs to be done in my heart.
Thank you to my Friends & Family that took us to the show and opening our eyes to our Almighty GOD who also loves me.
Louie ~ God lets you rock !!!
Love

August 14th, 2008 at 4:43 AM
Still reading all these comments…..How Great is our God!! Praise God for what He is begining and continuing to do in the lives of all His people; from the continents of Asia and now, South Africa. Thanks for all the updates, Louie. Looking forward to the podcast :)
Praying for the Passion team as they recharge (amidst crazy schedules I’m sure!!) in the next couple of weeks. Safe travels back home.

Just an encouragement to all the students out there- come on guys lets take a stand together for the one true God and shine our light throughout the campuses of the Western Cape

August 14th, 2008 at 5:09 AM
God is so great and awesome in power!
Last night was an amazing experience, not only the excitement of an international ministry team leading us in worship but also seeing what God is doing all over the world and on our campus as well.
I do believe that Jesus touched the heart of every person and my prayer to all is that you will stay diligent and on fire througout your walk with the One true King Jesus Christ. Praise to His Mighty Name!
August 14th, 2008 at 5:11 AM
HECTIC STUFF.. Amazing amazing amazing.. Passion Team thanks so much.. what an awesome time just to spend with God.. The Ashley story is an inspiration.. 14 days! There’s nothing our God cannot do..
Love you guys..
August 14th, 2008 at 5:12 AM
Wow!!!!
It looks like it was an amazing evening in Cape Town!
Cape of good Hope… Well, I believe in Hope!
Heb 11: 1- Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
I pray for our generation to stand up as one body in S.A.! You are all so indescribable and the part you play in this plan… It’s huge!
All the glory to God!!
August 14th, 2008 at 5:16 AM
What an AMAZING night!!! Thanks to the Passion Team for making it happen, it’s so wonderful to have events like this in South Africa where we can all come together and worship God!
Jozi, thanks for the prayers :) Mexico City…. just you wait and see!!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 5:17 AM
How great is our God! Thank you for the opportunity to praise Jesus with 6000+ Cape Towners I have never met… My prayer is for everyone there last night, that God would fire up a passion in their hearts for Jesus and for those who don’t know His indescribable GRACE… oh man, please guys, don’t forget your Saviour as you go back to your campuses this week.. and Mexico, I’m keeping my wristband on until oct 3rd praying for you, that God will bless you richly!
Amen
August 14th, 2008 at 5:18 AM
INDESCRIBABLE – an incredible song and the only word I can think of to explain last night. God says in his Word that where two or more are gathered, there too will he be and with 6000 people at the Velodrome last night, God certainly was there in all His glory!! What a priviledge to able to worship a mighty God with like minded Christians.
Louie, Chris, Matt and your entire team, thank you for using the gifts and talents God has given you to inspire young people around the world to be mouthpieces for Jesus. May He continue to bless your ministry and to take His powerful word across the world!!
I cant wait to be a part of the wondrous things God is going to do in this beautiful city. What a comfort to know that despite the daily hardships we face that God is in control and has a plan for our nation!
August 14th, 2008 at 5:18 AM
Wowza steve I’m after you boichie, what are the ods!
Thank you so much for the incridible opportuinty to praise with you fellas in the flesh, Louie thanks for the compelling message, i believe, straight from the mouth of God. A fire burns hot within me today for the lost in my class. We’re praying for you Mexico so bring the word to your ppl, let Christs bride reign magnificently in your city. God Speed Passion guys…

One doesn’t know wether to cry, luagh, shout, sing or simply stand silent… to dance, jump or kneel.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your name be the glory, becuase of Your love and faithfulness.
All authority in heaven and on earth is His. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS until the end of time.” OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE!
Cape Town, we are awakened… now let us AWAKE!!!
Mexico City… you dont know what’s coming.
August 14th, 2008 at 5:27 AM
hey CT
So glad 2 hear that you had a amazing time. God’s at work there and has planed Graeter things 4 your city, as for ours.

Praise God, this was an eye opener for me. So many times you get frustrated with all the ugly stuff happening in the world (your community) and you just seem to think that you can’t make a difference. You seem to just shy away and try to blend in with the flow while at the same time trying so hard to keep yourself clean from all the dirt happening around you.
BUT last night l really felt God challenging me to shine for Him, l don’t know how, but it didn’t seem like the 2 girls in the JOURNAL did a lot that was out of their way to shine for Jesus, all they did was live their lives and God took what they probably never thought would make an impact in any body’s life except theirs and used it and is still using it (her Journal). Oh God, won’t you use me in this generation…. Epa
August 14th, 2008 at 5:29 AM
;-( I was looking forward to doing the mexican wave! Oh well, off to mexico to do so! *I wish.

So lastnight I got to bed at about 1am, Boy was it a mission to fall asleep, for two reasons, Cooling down as I was on fire! also, the wrist band that I decided to keep on until the 3rd Oct! Mexico we’ll be praying for you guys!

I got home at 01:17 last night from PASSION CAPE TOWN CONFERENCE!!! And was still singing out loud, “Sing, Sing Sing!!”
What an inspiring, God-motivated fire and incredible encouragement mixed with excitement I have in my heart right now. To have seen 6000 other Capetonians in MY generation, also wanting to see the light of Jesus break into this dark world, to see people recognise the Truth and respond to God’s grace and see God’s glory lift up and fall upon our city.
Praise God for the powerful way he is ministering to our generation through the PASSION team and others part of the events.
Let’s stand together, young people of Cape Town, and let’s see what Jesus can do through us as ONE BODY. Let us live and work in ONE SPIRIT, and let us all keep the fire, the seed, the song and the vision that we received last night, in our hearts and thoughts, let us SHARE it and see God MOVE!!!
Praise to our King.
CIDADE DE MEXICO!! NOS ESTAMOS ORANDO PRA VOCES, ENTAO PREPARA SUAS VIDAS!!!!!

Enjoy God!

Last night was unforgettable!
Thank you Louie and the Passion Team, may God use your talents to touch Mexico City and all the other cities you’re going to visit in the way He touched Cape Town last night.
May your journey be safe and may God use you guys to reach the lost.
Hope to see you again soon, mighty world changing, living God worshipping warriors!
God’s grace knows no limit…
God speed
August 14th, 2008 at 6:14 AM
Thanks for an amazing evening Passion. From the 1st song down to the last it was a life changing experience worshiping with 6000 passionate believers.
Greater things are yet to come for Cape Town – thanks for ushering that in Passion
And to the unsung hero of last night – Christa, Ashley’s fruitcake friend – God bless you for being the light we are all meant to be. You are an example to all Christians that we are relevant and can convey the Gospel while being in “our right mind” even though we’d all love to go “crazy” about what God has done.
As for Mexico city – I pray that the Holy Spirit prepares the way for Passion and that when the October 4th arrives that there would be such a God-explosion that the world will need to sit up and take notice of God’s mighty hand at work in that City
August 14th, 2008 at 6:15 AM
Wohooo!!!!!!! I had a blast……you guys make me so excited about God!! I want to be able to make a difference just like you are doing all over the world for God!!! I am so encouraged!! Thank you so much and please return…..it feels like you guys belong here!! :)
Until next time!!!
ROCK ON CAPE TOWN!!!

Thanks so much to the Passion Team from last night here in Cape Town. Myself and 4 friends were there and it was a very last minute arrangement from our side but we made it and….. i wouldnt have traded last night for anything! Thanks soooooo much and I definitely know that His grace will keep us going! Jesus rocks big time!!!
I pray for Passion’s trip to Mexico City on the 3rd/4th October and i also pray for all the people that will be attending. U’re in our thoughts and prayers and i KNOW that something amazing is going to explode out of Mexico City from the 5th of October! There’s already a lot more attending Mexico City’s leg of the tour then we had here in Cape Town South Africa
BUT that just means that you all have to make an even bigger impact than we are going to make…. yup, thats a challenge :)
To all us South African’s, as we know October is a long way off so put a reminder in your phones, a note in your outlook calender, write it on your little sister but whatever u do… pray for and on, 3rd October 2008.
God Bless all my Mexican friends.
August 14th, 2008 at 6:53 AM

Jesus is ALIVE
to God be the glory
August 14th, 2008 at 6:54 AM
Wow last night really changed my life! I’ve been walking with God for some time now, but last night I experienced Him like never before. I have new hope in the One that conquered death Jesus! New hope for CT and the rest of Africa. I just can’t thank you guys enough that you allow God to use you and change the world like you do. I wish all my friends could have been there. Louis you are an amazing person with a heart after God. I was so blessed. Thanks Passion Team. God bless! Love you guys.
God you are King of all Kings! I love you JESUS.

August 14th, 2008 at 6:57 AM
What an awesome night! Praise GOD! Let his Holy Spirit lead us and just spread His Word throughout Cape Town. Thank you Louis and the rest of the team.
Jesus lives and He saves!
August 14th, 2008 at 6:58 AM
God is gracious and mighty…
His name is higher than my problems, His name covers over all my mistakes, His strength is great enough to lift my head when i think i can’t go on…And above all, His joy is abounding in my life, and after PASSION last night I feel a renewed sense of purpose in my King who saved me.
Cape Town, let’s be bold for our city…”Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done in THIS city.” Let’s claim it for Jesus….with our lives, with our words, with our love, in normality and in craziness, at church, at varsity, in our families, with our friends and when we’re alone with ourselves.
Mexico…GET READY…God is moving in our world, and NOTHING is impossible for Him.
God bless you as you read this and as you hope in Him for the things that are inconceivable to us but so absolutely possible with Him.
August 14th, 2008 at 6:59 AM
Celebrating Grace! Nothing else in life can possibly top the gift of GRACE!
Thank you Passion Team for being so faithful and obedient to Jesus and His call on your lives and the Passion ministry!
What a priviledge to worship and meet with our great God like we did last night. Thank you Jesus for being present and blessing us like you did. We give you all glory, honour and praise for the work you did in hearts last night!
And to Mexico City, we’re praying! Count on it!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:01 AM
Hi CT look like you guys had an awesome evening with God and Louie and the team, and know that God have come to work in your hearts… How amazing is our God we serve!!
Your GRACE is enough

Blessings!!

August 14th, 2008 at 7:02 AM
What an awesome night! It clarified some of my confusion about the state of the sinner – not bad, but DEAD! Powerful point! Thank you Passion for sparking a vision for us to make Jesus famous! Greater things are still to come, greater things are yet to be done in this city!!!
Let us love Cape Town, let us love Mexico, let us show them Christ in our lives and relationships – thank you Passion team for your inspiration and for being an example!
Lots of love,
KD
August 14th, 2008 at 7:02 AM
I was touched by the testimony read by pastor Louie Giglio – Totally transformed my perception of how fragile life is and how we need to let our light shine to the rest of this nation and take this city for HIS GLORY – Our King Jesus Christ!! We Are Destined to Proclaim His Name Great amongst our people and let his Glory shine through us.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:05 AM
Awe inspiring night! With the message and worship reminding me so much of my journey with God, His love and Jesus’ salvation. It is amazing that Ashley’s story is each one of ours and that God’s love for his children is universal and never ending. I will wear my wristband with pride and pray continuously for the Mexico leg. We have front row seats to God’s re-love-ution and I for one can just say…”pass me the popcorn please!! :-)” …Hold on people… this is just the beginning! Whooo-hooo!!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:08 AM
WOW is all I can really say!
I knew I was meant to be there last night…. God really moved in an awesome way, and reminded me how GREAT and how FAR His love really is. His GRACE is way BIGGER than my mistakes.
Thank you so much to the Passion Team for ministering to us last night, and I pray provision and blessings for the future tours you will be doing!
Im still singing “Greater things are yet to come, greater things are still to be done in this city”…I woke up singing it. I hope I wake up singing that every morning!
To Mexico City – Its YOUR turn next! May you be blessed BEYOND your wildest imagination, and may GOD turn your world upside down for the glory of HIM!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:12 AM
Wow,what an awesome time in the presence of the Lord our God last night.To experience the Grace of God bringing me back to the real meaning of my salvation again.Jesus Saves,Jesus Heals,Jesus Redeems,Jesus Delivers.Oh,that the whole planet will arise to the fullness in Christ Jesus.Lord,I love You.
May the Full Power of Heaven manifest over Passion,Louis Gigglio and whoever steps into their midst.May the very breath that they breath be charged with the Fullness Of God to change every ungodly atmosphere bringing the Manifested Presence of God to change,deliver and set free in Jesus Name.
Mexico,JESUS IS ON HIS WAY TO YOU IN POWER!!!

August 14th, 2008 at 7:18 AM
Cape Town you rock!!!!! Last night was AMAZING. And He was definately there, I could feel it in my bones.
Mexico City – be prepared!!!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:19 AM
Wow! What a night! At the end, my knees were aching and my calves were paining like crazy, but man was it worth it!
Thanks to the worship guys for an awesome time – you lead us straight into the throne room! Crazy stuff, you guys rock ;)
Louie, thank you for a wonderful message. It was one I think many of us needed to hear, some of us for ourselves and some of us so we could pass it on to others. You have inspired me for things I never imagined were possible! Watch out Cape Town, here I come and I’m gonna be normal! Whoop!
To the entire team – may God pour out abundant blessings on you, such that you have never dreamt of, imagined or even had the courage to ask for. You are all, every single one of you, beautiful, splendid people! Thank you for this blessing on our city!
Mexico – be ready for an awesome, magnificent wave coming your way. All our prayers are going to be pushing that wave forward and with quite a while to go, it should be massive and moving at the speed of sound by the time it gets to you!
Cape Town – greater things, my friends….greater things!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:22 AM
WOW!! There really is no greater than love! He is AMAZING!!! Last night was incredible =) Thanks to Louie and the team, ya’ll rock!
Mexico City, you all are in my prayers!! GET READY!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:22 AM
That was one absolutely amazing talk by Louis. I wish I could be that passionate all the time for the Lord. What an amazing thing grace is!
Still wearing that band and I’ve turned it inside out so i can pray for Mexico City. We’re praying for you guys! It’s going to be amazing again.
Thank you Passion team for passing on the passion to us.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:23 AM
Thank you for stirring up my heart for our nation, What a blessing to be in an atmosphere of praise, adoration, and SINCERITY. Ive asked myself ” What is different tonight from the other Gospel concerts that I have attended?, etc….” It is how you touched our hearts, each one of you through hearts of compassion. It was an impartation of Power from the heart of God, power of forgiveness, power of reconciliation. The power that transcends all that so that in the name of Jesus something new can be born, that is the power in which you all ministered, the power to bring new life, the power to make people understand that no life ever given to Jesus is wasted. You taught us again that no life is worthless. Heaven opened up as we sang with Chris Tomlin ” God of this city”. Recently, a door has opened up for the Pastors of the city to pray in Parliament and Council Chambers at 5H30am once a month on a Saturday morning. We will be singing “God of this city” in Parliament this Saturday morning. I bless God for all of you… You’ve birthed something new in our hearts today.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:23 AM
Just want to say the CAPE TOWN ROCKS with grace and beauty of JESUS CHRIST!! HUGE HUGE thanks to Louie, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Jesse Reeves and the whole Passion Team (even back home in Atlanta) – You guys are Awesome. Thanks for you passion and vision to raise up a Jesus Generation that will stop at nothing to make the NAME OF JESUS famous around the globe.
CAPE TOWN STUDENTS:
Let’s resolve, not to be a part of the 268 Generation but LETS BECOME the 268 Generation.
To all the guys at passion, I hope to catch you at other locations and I, on behalf on Cape Town welcome you guys back anytime.
Bless you all
LETS GET CRAZY ABOUT JESUS!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:24 AM
HOW AWESOME IS HE
What an amazing time with God. I am so happy to see 6000 Christians in Cape Town and really want to see that grow. If each of us are willing to let God’s light shine, we can see a revolution in this nation.
Praise God for what He is doing, and what He is going to do. I encourage everyone to let last night overflow into their lives and that God would forever be the focus of your lives.
I came last night without have having had any major communication with God, and was really struggling to see Him, and when God rocked up, it blew my mind. God is so unbelieveably brilliant.
I pray that you can live love in your lives, and experience love in your lives, because God is there giving you love.
Praise Him forever and ever,
Love to all of you (that includes you)
August 14th, 2008 at 7:25 AM
Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!
What an amazing evening…
Thank you all for such a great night.

We will be praying for Mexico…May they be blessed as we were!

Thank you Jozi for keeping us in your prayers – they bore much fruit…Mexico, our God is watching over you and we will keep praying for the event and time leading up to it!
“Where you see bones, I see an army”
August 14th, 2008 at 7:27 AM
Awesome God!!!
6000 people. Just think, what impact can 6000 people make in Cape Town. All right, that might be thinking to big… You all heard the story of Ashley. I would like to think of myself as Fruit cake???

Thank you Passions for the impact you made in my life. HUGE!!! And that has been since Indescribable…

Greater things are still to be done! I live and work in the heart of Cape Town – the city bowl – in the pocket of the foot of Table Mountain. I dream of, I visualise, I hope for and I believe that…
when 6000 students who are crazy for God and normal yet dedicated to other people, infiltrate this city…that’s the day when we will build God’s kingdom, not expensive architectural structures for show; that’s the day when we will pursue God’s heart, not business deals with great returns; that’s the day when we will rely on God’s grace and Holy Spirit to intervene, not on our limited resources nor on corruption.
That’s the day when Isaiah 58 will be in the bills that pass in parliment:
“to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke,
to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter, when you see the naked, to clothe him and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood…” go read what will happen to SA then… Isaiah 58:8 etc.
Go Passion go! Baie dankie vir die liedjies, die Woord en die visie! Lief vir julle!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:32 AM
To the Passion Team :)
Thank you for reminding us that GREATER thinngs are YET to come for this BEAUTIFUL city CAPE TOWN!!!!
God reigns here in this city, in this NATION, ON THIS EARTH!!!
Love and PEACE to you all..
‘WE LONG TO BE the generation that seeks your face LORD!!!’
August 14th, 2008 at 7:33 AM
Last nite was sooo AMAZING!
God is so good – just watch Him make these things happen in CT!!! Brace yourselves guys:)
August 14th, 2008 at 7:33 AM
The Amazing grace of God!!!

May God Bless you as you prepare for the 3rd leg of the world tour!!
I’ll be praying for Mexico!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:34 AM
Isaiah 65 v24 “I will answer them before they even call to Me. While they are still talking to Me about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers.”…..
Now how Awesome is this word for you,
Holy holy holy is the God Almighty
I Just want to say, 268 generation ROCKS. Thank you all it was great having you here.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:36 AM
What can I say!…Louie, last nyt waz awesome…For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him…
I am renewed and fired up last nyt I got injected with a virus of craziness for His Renown…Cape Town rocks…The Lord is doing a new thing in the Cape of Good Hope, let us live for Him and His renown…Isa 26:8 You are the one we trust to bring about justice; above all else we want your name to be honored…
MEXICO City 3-4 October we are praying for you…Ciudad de México, usted está en nuestros corazones….
God Bless every hand in the 268 Generation movement…
August 14th, 2008 at 7:40 AM
Wow thanks so much! I didnt have a ticket, but at like 18.15 got a call to say there were 2 available (me and my fiance!) yay!! so i jumped straight in my car and drove To the OTHER side of the city and got there just in time for the start! Praise God!
It was truly awesome! I believe that God is really working! That this is a generation that doesnt just read the word, but lives it out! We will see revival in our city and in our land! We are a land with lots of brokenness, but where we see brokenness God can bring perfection! AHHHHHHH GOD THANK-YOU for grace! We are so so undeserving! Yet you call us children! I fail you every hour of the day… yet you embrace me! Lord continue to pour out your grace on us, so that we may inturn be the light that brings others to your grace! Thank you HOLY, Beautiful Lord! Thank you for grace!
I am in a UCT computer lab and i am wanting to go crazy, literally having to concentrate to keep seated! ha ha! GRACE! so amazing!
So this morning i went to the gym.. one of the instructors walked past me while i was on a machine and said, “hey what is that on your arm?”. So i replied that it was from an event (you know huffing and puffing a bit), and that i am keeping it on till the next event happens.” (kinda baiting, becuase i was sure that if i said its from a Christian event, she would have just walked off). So she asked when the next event is and where it was, i told her Mexico City in October, she looked shocked and asked if i will keep it on till then. ‘I am gana try’. Then she asked, so what kinda event was it. I said it was a Praise, Worship and Prayer event and that i was going to pray for mexico city and that this was a reminder! She smiled and was like. “o okay” and then did walk off! My aim of going to the gym has now changed!
May i be a fruitcake in her right mind, for Christ’s sake!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:41 AM
Amazing Grace indeed!! A faceless army of God rising with the eternal message of Jesus Christ!! Let the light shine! Mexico we are praying for you up and until the day of 03/10/2008!!
All Honour and Glory to the Son of the Living God!!
Be blessed!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:44 AM

August 14th, 2008 at 7:45 AM
Thank you for the Awesome experience. Our God is so powerful and gracious. How can we so often miss the point?
I pray that we can take this passion in our hearts and allow it to translate into a light to the world.
Don’t let Satan attack your salvation! Its ours and its free!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:48 AM
Okay so I can’t stop thinking about last night! WOW! I just want it over.
PLEASE come soon and WHEN you come (hint-hint) get a bigger venue!
To the band, you guys were awesome, breathtaking (That was God), amazing! Thank you so much for leading us into worshiping the ONE true God JESUS! And Louie for the word you brought.
Stopping in worship and looking around the Velodrome, I was silenced – 6000 people, students calling on one Name that’s greater then all names: “Jesus”. I was blessed and my heart is that all who where there was blessed, not even mentioning the people that made this happen and to all who will read these post’s be blessed with the Love that God has for you – and I’ll see you not on facebook (would like it though) but in heaven. Worshiping the Father.
Ps Be CrAzY Normal 4 Christ

I love being apart of something that is bigger than I am! Which is what last night’s Passion even meant to me. Being apart of God’s plan is the bigger picture and thus we can leave all control up to HIm! Awesome! As Louie said last night: Grace is God at work…AMEN!
The Band completely rocked the Vel. That’s because they have God as their rock.
We will be praying for Mexico, the next leg. I wish I could go to all the Passion events all over the world, lol.
Thanks to JHB for praying for us.
Luv B, priestess for God.

I’ll keep on praying for Mexico and all the work you do. Still wearing my ‘bracelet’. Keep reminding me to keep on praying!

My husband and I were at the Veladrome in Cape Town last night, both of us born and bred in The Cape of Good Hope!
What an atmosphere last night!!! I too am not removing my arm band until the 4th Oct, it will remind me to pray for Mexico! We are HUGE Louis fans and even bigger fans of Jesus!!
We are so glad we were able to witness such a movement of God through Cape Town, and we pray that this movement will continue and grow stronger all the world over!
Louis has been one of the main influences on my life as a new Christian. By the Grace of God, one of the best speakers we have EVER heard is a CHRISTIAN and an Ambassador for Jesus!! Fantastic! We need a Louis for each city around the world! My parents-in-law love his DVD’s and the DVD’s are screened at our small groups. I think that all of our non-christian friends and relatives should be introduced to Louis via DVD. It is life changing. And the music! Brilliant!
Anyway, I need to leave SOME space for the 6 000 other comments I KNOW are on the way!
God bless Louis and the Passion tour, you guys are saving lives.

its so great to see our Kings name held so high, It sall he wants from us, So lets not hold back too much and be Amazing like he has created us, to shine his light.
And Mexico better try to prepair as much as they can cause Louis is going to blow them away, We praying for you Mexico
August 14th, 2008 at 8:25 AM
What power in unity!! Last night was awesome as we united in one spirit to worship the King. I was reminded that God’s grace is more than enough for every and anything that we maybe going through. While we become so consumed in the struggles of our own lives, there are people all around us who are spiritually dead. What can be more important than allowing Jesus to work through us to show others the WAY to LIFE.
I was totally overwhelmed by the faith and HOPE that the whole Passion team seemed to have in Cape Town and South Africa. We can all be inspired, during this time in our country when the darkness seems to be taking over, that Jesus is our HOPE and God’s plan will prevail. Greater things are yet to come – INDEED!!!
To the passion team – may God’s GRACE and unlimited FAVOUR follow you and overtake you as you continue to passionately serve Him!!

Hi all
Last night was amazing, We are really serving a living AMAZING GOD! Thanks to Louis and his team for this great project. The anointing was so Huge last night I wanted it to never end.
Listening to Chris Tomlin’s God Of This City – “Greater things are yet to come, greater things are still to be done in this city” – Let’s hope we can be the people to start these greater things. God’s put a calling on our lives to change the lives of those around us for the better. I want to be crazy for God, I want to be a “fruitcake” for God, I want to be “out of my mind” for God and “in my right mind” for God [2 Corinthians 5:13], I want people to ask me “why did you do that?”, I want people to say “what made you say that?”, I want people to say “how come you’re like you are?”, and I want to answer one thing: God. I want to point them to Isaiah 26:8 – “Yes, Lord. Walking in the way of your truth, we wait for you. Your name and renown are the desire of our soul”. Yes, Lord. There is no one like our God – let’s let other people see that. Let’s take this wonderful salvation we have to the streets, let’s let everybody we encounter see something in our lives that makes us different, and makes us stand out.
God can do amazing things, God has done amazing things in my life and in the lives of those around me – so let’s show people who don’t yet know how awesome God is; let’s show them His love, His power; let’s just show them God.
God Bless all of you
Mexico City- I am praying for you!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:26 AM
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Am just amazed at what GOd is doing and what God is still going to do in Cape Town. Truly, people, it is time to pray for our city, for our country, for the world. I went to Passion, yes, to worship, also to see the Passion Band……..
But, what I saw was a city full of young people ready to take over their city. Thanks Louie, Chris, Matt, the band……..All of you who made this possible. You’ve brought Cape Town together, through the Holy Spirit……..Lives were changed. My life was changed.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:32 AM
WOW…last night was just incredible! Thank you to all of you who were praying for us, for all of you who organised such an amazing night.
And thank you Lord for being there with us…jamming with Jesus is just the most amazing privilege ever! Also thanks so much for leading us in worship Chris, I really love your music…
I also just wanted to note that I hope you all saw the banners spread across the Velodrome – they read ‘This City Works For You’ – that’s Cape Town’s slogon and I think that it’s something that we need to say in faith, that someday Cape Town really will work for our awesome God. In the meantime we can all start with ourselves in getting there with an attitude of changing ourselves first, of letting ourselves work for God because He really is the God of this city. In this way our generation will start the most powerful revolution ever.
God bless…
Mexico City, we’re praying for you! (Although I’m definitely not wearing this armband thingy for 2 months;])
Your sister always,
Jes
August 14th, 2008 at 8:33 AM
Cape of Good Hope..WOW, I never thought of it that way.
But this morning I woke up with a new hope for Cape Town.
I truely believe that greater things are yet to come and that greater things are still to be done in this city. I keep on going over this verse in
1 Corinthians 2:9
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,. no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those. who love him”.
I just feel that this is so true for Cape Town! God needs His people to go out there and to change the city through him!
All the glory and honour to the awesome God we serve!
Get ready Mexico; I’ve got my wristband on and it will stay there for as long as the plastic will hold and still then, my prayers will be with you!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:40 AM
Thank you guys, God bless you!!!
Everybody that made this awesome night possible….THANK YOU!!!!
Louis, you’re the best!!
Jesus rules, and it is great to see someone sooooo passionate about people and about God.
“GREATER THINGS HAVE YET TO COME, AND GREATER THINGS ARE STILL TO BE DONE IN THIS CITY”
August 14th, 2008 at 8:46 AM
“OH NO, Never let go, Lord you will never let go of me!” Geeeze, that has been running through my mind all day today. Thank you Louie, thank you Team! It was just what i needed at the time, the chance to feel a hope for your city and generation again. Was a real eye opener. I was extremely privileged to be there since everyone in my hostel is grounded. And since im actually from Sutherland (small town in the middle of nowhere, 350km from capetown) Love,a small toen girl. Mexico City, prepare to be struck down with GRACE. you wont know what hit you ;-)
August 14th, 2008 at 8:48 AM
WOW! Last night was awesome. Cape Town and God rocked the Belville Velodrome. It was such an amazing experience to be with so many other Christians all in one building for the same purpose… To worship God! God is soooooooooo awesome and he loves us so much!
Thank you so much Louie, Chris, Matt, the band and everyone who put together the tour, the people who prayed for Cape Towns leg of the Tour and to God gor being there last night!
God is so Awesome!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:48 AM
Cape Town, Stellenbosch & the enitre Western Cape. I’m so proud to be follower of Jesus Christ. I want to say that CT rocked hughly for Christ last night. I have never seen so many passionate children of God standing together & SHOUTING praises to an almighty Father.
I know that we really made an impact in this wonderful world, that is what our father has called us to be.
Mexico City I have a strong feeling that God is going to do great things there, just as he is doing here in CT. I pray that your hearts would be opened to all the wonders that God is wanting to give you each & every day.
To the entire Passion Team, Thank you for giving up your time to encourage us to draw closer to the Father on a daily basis. May God Bless all of you.

Thanks for the amazing evening last night!!! Louie and the Passion team, you where great and I will pray for you as you go along with the tour. God is doing wonderful things thru you!!!
About last night… as Chris Tomlin’s song:
Hear the holy roar of God resound
Watch the waters part before us now
Come and see what He has done for us
Tell the world of His great love
Our God is a God who saves
Our God is a God who saves
Let God arise
Let God arise
Our God reigns now and forever
He reigns now and forever
His enemies will run for sure
The church will stand, she will endure
He holds the keys of life, our Lord
Death has no sting, no final word
(This is the best way for me to discribe how graet our God is, now and last night!)
Mexico… you are in my prairs!
PS. Will be wairing the wrist band for you!
Love, Hester
August 14th, 2008 at 9:05 AM

All Glory to God through His son Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!
Mexico City…we love you :)
August 14th, 2008 at 9:11 AM
What a truly amazing night full of God’s grace! I was blown away by God’s grace and mercy and I’m fired up and ready for the task of reconciliation that God has given us.
I recognise that God is stirring up his people and I am so priviledged to be a part of it. I long for God to use us in ways that he has never used us before!
Thanks to the Passion team for your obedience and love and to Ashlee’s family for sharing her touching story!
Mexico City, Dios los bendiga (God bless you!)

I thank God for bringing me to the Pasion show last night! It was amazing to see how many people are loving and living for Christ!
I almost didn’t make it to the show, but I know God guided my steps in the direction of Bellville last night! I have no doubt that Cape Town is about to explode with Christians not afraid to stand up for who they are! Watch this space!
I know that everyday God is with me, as He is with all…I am still under construction, because GOD is AT WORK! :-)

August 14th, 2008 at 9:46 AM
How great is our God? Passion Cape Town was awe-inspiring! Thank you Passion team, praying abundant blessings over you guys. Hope you’ve enjoyed another gorgeous Cape Town day today!
Let’s remember being fused together last night, lifting high the name of Jesus, passionately loving and worshipping God. So excited to see what the Lord is doing in us as we catch on to the fire and zeal for God, for sharing His grace, His passion, and His love.
Saw this great image the other day of matches all in row -and from the left they had burst into flame and were catching alight across the row. That must be us; boldly and fervently catching alight, God’s fire igniting and spreading. To put our passion into a fire that will never go out!
Eager to see God Shine His light + let the whole world see it in us. As he draws us closer, that we know Him more, understand his tremendous grace; and worship him for who He is and not only what he does. That he will glorify himself in us, that our lives would be an anthem lifting high the name of Jesus. God does it all!
Looking forward to seeing God ever-increasing and spreading His passion!
August 14th, 2008 at 9:46 AM
What an awesome night to praise God with 6000+ young people!
Mexico city, we pray that you will have the same blessed experience like we did and that wonderful things will happen in your city that only God is able to do.
Passion team: Thanks for your great hearts for Cape Town and the rest of the world.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:46 AM
Awèèèniss!!!!
Last night was awesome!! Thank you passion for keeping our focus on our AWesome God and Lord Jesus Christ and not taking any glory for yourselves!
The message of the cross is so simple but so life changing, thanx for reminding me about the beautiful love of our savior for everyone.
Then, get ready Mexicoooooo!!!! Will be praying for you guys, that you may have a great time with our Lord Jesus Christ on 3-4 October.

August 14th, 2008 at 9:51 AM
Passion Cape Town 2008 was amazing!!!
You could feel the Holy Spirit working last night and I pray that God will finish the great work He started in all of us, sending us out and giving us boldness to change the lives of the people we come in contact with, with the love of God eminating from us, whether it be people we know or not. The story Louie read from the journal really touched my and my friend’s lives, and I pray that the girl’s father will realise what God has in store for him.
Thanx Passion for a great time. Mexico we are praying for you and like faithful brothers and sisters we are wearing our wristbands till it is your turn on October 3rd! God bless and enjoy!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 9:51 AM
Those pics look AMAZING!!! wow! it’s so awesome that CT could experience Passion like we did in Jozi!
i think this is a great motto to live after- especially after the Passion tour- Love out loud!
Let’s do it!! :)
August 14th, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Are there any words to describe the Indescribable? I am humbled beyond thoughts and words to realize how small we are and how big He is. Its GRACE alone that bridges the gap. Hallelujah!
May we all leave behind the negativity, critisism and apathy that has become the trademark of our generation and walk in the GRACE, LOVE and complete JOY that will change our nation, province and city for the ONE who deserves all the glory, power, honour and praise forever… and ever… and ever.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:54 AM
“Greater things have yet to come, greater things are still to be done in this city” That song was so cool, coz i know God is gonna do some insane stuf in this city(and the world). Its so awesome to think that the God of the universe, the Amazing awesome cool indescrible God, the One and Only loves us, and is with us “to the very end of the age”. WOW!! Praise Him, thanx to the passion team, was super awesome, God is so evident in all u guys are doing. and Mexico is in for an insane nyt! much love…
August 14th, 2008 at 10:02 AM
How great is our God?
How awesome to see how God chooses a generation and picks them up to their feet and asks them to run with His grace. Beautiful and perfect is the sound of the Lord’s name. I am honoured to be part of this generation!
Thank you, Lord, for people like the Passion Team and for every other spiritual leader that You send to us!
Our God is truely amazing! And He IS for everybody :D
PS Louie, just a bit of encouragement for RSA next year…Angus Buchan had 60000 men at the Mighty Men Conference 2008 on his farm in Greytown, 80000+ people at Loftus, one of the northern rugby stadiums and also around there in Kingspark Stadium in Durban…not to brag! :))
Good luck for the next stretch! You will be in our prayers Mexico! We’re wearing our little white bands with pride! :)
August 14th, 2008 at 10:05 AM
Wow – last night was something out of this world! I am so amped that we brought the house down with praises for our King Jesus! Being part of the volunteer team, I was blessed to be there from 10 am till closing – from the time we set up chairs and tied them with cable ties, to seeing all those seats filled and up along the sides, students and more students coming to praise our Jesus. Our love for Him is LOUD! The Presence of the Holy Spirit was so tangible, I felt like God just settled down on us in a blanket – all I could do was open my arms and turn my face to heaven. When I next looked up I saw a sea of arms raised high in worship and adoration for Him who gives us GRACE. For the first time, I got a heart-glimpse of the Father’s heart for us, His creation. Louie and Passion – thank you! A million times over, thank you. I think the queue to speak with you in heaven will too one day be long – right after we’re done worshipping God (that could be a while too though – but its okay, we’ll have forever). My husband and I were exhausted when we finally got home, but sleep was sweet, resting in the arms of our Saviour. God bless you. MEXICO – you’re on our fridge, everyday we’re speaking over you – that God will rock your city to the CORE.
God bless
Love in Christ

Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done in Mexico City….By God’s inexhaustible Grace I pray that you will have just as awsome evening of praise and worship as in Cape Town and thank the Lord for all the souls that have been saved through the work of PASSION.
All the thanks, all the glory all the honour to Him who SAVES!!!
Thanks to the Passion team for a ooooober cool evening.
God Blesss and Jesus Love
August 14th, 2008 at 10:08 AM
Thank you.
ISA: 26:4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal.
Thank you for coming to town
Mexico, just sit back and open all those doors of you heart. God’s coming to your town next and I have a feeling that He’s going to knock your socks off!
***Thank you Lord for coming last night and we love you. Your love compels us to live, to truly live to bring praise, honor and glory to your name.***

August 14th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Thank you so much to the Passion Team for coming to Cape Town, it was a magical evening and a life changing experience. “Your love O lord reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness stretches to the skies, your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, and your justice flows like the ocean’s tides”. I will worship you forever my King, I am in awe of You God and Your Glory.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Mexico City, we’re praying for you guys! I’m wearing my little white band with pride… a great conversation starter :) Yesterday evening was awesome…

Lots of love from Cape Town
August 14th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
every knee shall bow…
every tongue shall confess…
That Jesus Christ is King!!
Thank you Louie, Chris and the team! His Grace is enought and 6000 young people enjoying the presence of God was amazing! Jesus can and will save this nation!
Jesus said in Matt 10:7,8
“And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
So get ready Mexico… Jesus wants all off you!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Well done Passion and Well done Cape Town!!!!!!
What a awesome night worshiping the Creator of the Universe along with thousands of people. Thanks Louie for your vision and your passion. (no pun intended). and to the band, you rocked the velodrome. I nominate Chris Tomlin for president:) I have been listening to the music all day in an attempt to relive those moments.
Glory to God. Keep moving forward Cape Town!!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Amazing… daars nie ‘n ander woord om dit te beskryf! Dit was regtig awesome om saam met 6000 ander gelowiges die Here ons vader te loof en prys! Vir die Passion span… ek hoop julle word uit jul sokkies geseen vir die great werk wat julle doen. Ek wens al my vriende kon daar gewees het om die liefde van God te ervaar soos ek dit dai aand kon beleef! Dankie vir die ander Christene wat daar was. Mexico… daar wag iets amazings op julle pad en julle bly in ons gebede!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:22 AM
The word that hit me deep within last night was “realisation”. Firstly the Bible story where Jesus feeds the 5000… God with a little Bread and a few fish fed a multitude of people equivalent to that of last night! For the first time i realised how Amazing that was.
Second realisation which absolutely blew my mind, was that of “Grace” My word, Louie you hit it home! Our God IS an awesome God.. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God… Thank you Lord that you sent your son!
Thank you for a lovely evening Passion team, we will never forget it!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:24 AM
Hey fellow fruitcakes!
Isn’t it amazing that God loves fruitcakes!!!!
Last night’s PASSION was I.N.D.E.S.C.R.I.B.A.B.L.E!!!
Thank you Lord for this wonderful experience, and all the GRACE that you bestow upon us… Where would we be without you???
Thank you PASSION TEAM for answering God’s call in your lives, so that you may be used to touch so many others!
Love
Tans ‘n Mikey.

He wraps Himself in light and darkness tries to hide then trembles at his voice. How can we not serve a God so powerful who gave up eternity to come and overcome death so we can live. He who sits on the right hand of the Majestic God came so that we can have a life.
As i was screaming and praise and worshipping, i was just thinking what we are going to do in Heaven i am so excited last night was 6000, in Heaven the bible say they were so many of us they could not be counted standing before the throne and worshipping. His grace and favour is always with us we have a miracle working God and we should exalt Him the only way he deserves. He sits in Heaven and makes the earth his foot stool so we can touch the soles of his feet and be served. He who saves loves and picked us to be part of the revolution he hand picked us and HE ORDAINED US PROPHETS TO THE NATIONS. LETS GO IN TO THE WORLD AND TOUCH LIVE AND CHANGE THE WORLD IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.
We will run and not grow weary, we will stumle and not fall we have a saviour , redeemer, Messiah, Emmanuel.
MEXICO tighten your sit belts and you will be in our prayers. We love you in the way the saviour intends to love and hope he moves in your live the only way he can move. PRAISE BE TO THE KING OF KINGS.
GLORY.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:26 AM

Christians by Maya Angelou
‘A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.’
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not shouting ‘I’m clean livin” I’m whispering ‘I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven.’
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not trying to be strong. I’m professing that I’m weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not bragging of success. I’m admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I still feel the sting of pain.. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say… ‘I am a Christian’ I’m not holier than thou, I’m just a simple sinner Who received God’s good grace, somehow!
Thank you Lord for your GRACE!

WHAT A NIGHT!!!! I get teary eyed everytime I think of it.
That has got to hav been one of the most amazing nights in my whole life. God is forever faithful and loving and mighty and surprising and….GRACEFUL!!!!
I couldn’t get a ticket and was pretty down that I couldn’t go. Tuesday night we watched “How Great is our God” by Louie with the ladies from my bible study group and although i reall enjoyed it, I got back 2 my room and was sad that I’d miss the Passion CT concert.
2pm Wednesday I was in a lecture theatre, doin wat I gta do…I got a call from a friend and she told me there was a ticket for me. I just couldn’t sit still during the lecture. That miracle right there gave me the shivers coz whenever God does these things to me….I know for a fact He is about to blow my mind….
…and He did. That was an amazing night, I danced and sang so much I hav been dosing off in all my lectures today. It is amazing to see so many young people coming together to worship the Lord.
The music rocked, the message was very touching and everything was just so perfect.
Thank you so so so so much Passion team and may the Lord continue to take you places for you to share the wonderful message of His goodness and love.
Please come to Zimbabwe….pretty please.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:36 AM
WOW – thank you Passion team – last night was AMAZING!
We had high expectations for the evening, but even those were way exceeded. It is so awesome to see so many young energetic people praising God. There truly are still SO many great things to be done and seen in this city…and what a privelage to be part of what God is doing.
Mexico City – 03 October – we’ll be praying!
How great is our God :-)
August 14th, 2008 at 10:38 AM
Whoohooo!!!! Last night was sooo amazing. Nothing like spending time with family in God’s presence. To think 6000 is not even a fraction of what’s to come, wow.
The wrist band has been breaking barriers, it’s started a lot of my conversations on campus today. It was also really cool to spot people with theirs on. Lets keep firing the prayers guys.
Passion team: thanks for coming over and for the reminder that we’re living for a cause much greater than ourselves. We have a responsibility to live up to the mendate. God bless you guys!!!!!
Mexico City: Prepare to be blown away, we’re not about to take off our wrist bands anytime soon :-)
August 14th, 2008 at 10:41 AM
What a great God we serve! Beyond comparison! May the true revelation of Grace overflow each child of the living God with a deep understanding of the Passion of a Saviour Who gave it all that we can life victoriously!
Spreading the message of reconciliation that God has given us to tell the world!
It was a great experience to worship and hear the “simple” message of salvation to the lost! What a great testimony Ashley’s journal left for us all! It is His love that sets the captives free!
Mexico we pray your hearts will be open to receive His grace, invite all your unsaved friends and let Jesus save the lost!
To the the PASSION Team: Thanks 4 the gr8 worship and message! I pray God’s protection and a special anointing for the next phase of the your calling to tell the world the message of Jesus’ Saving Grace!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:43 AM

WHAD UP ALL YA FRUITCAKES OUT THERE!!!!!
Yeah man what can I say theres no party like a Holy Spirit party and theres most definitely no high like the MOST HIGH!!!
I had a blast in the presence of the Lord last night I truly felt we were partying it up with the Heavenlies last night and why shouldnt we…we are the victorious ones, we are on the side that has allready one. HALLELUJAH!!!
I have been studying theology for 3 years now and I’ve been saved for about 4 years, weird isn’t it. Anyway I never understood Grace untill the end of my second year of theological training and my 3rd year of knowing the Lord. It seemed as if condemnation was my continual campanion, and it became my most trusted adviser within my relationship with the Lord. God however had a plan and He used the people placed in my life to inform me of my obvious (only to them) ignorance of the revelation of Grace. I fervently started praying for God to reveal His Grace to me and guess what? He did baby and its the best revelation that God has ever illuminated in my life, next to Jesus Christ being my Lord and Saviour.
Any who…I beleive we are all called for intercessory and i’m gonna pray for Mexico like a crazy fruit-loop never mind a fruitcake. HAHAHA…
Man I love God and I love His church…may His Kingdom may His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!
Be Blessed Mexico and Passion team – Burn Baby Burn!!!
later.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:48 AM
…SPEECHLESS…(but ill try to put it in words)
I have never in my Christian walk (2yrs) felt the Holy Spirit pressing within my soul, to a point where my flesh could not move, as i felt it at the Passion Conference, Cape Town!! I wanted to get up and praise, but i could not. i sat there in awe….this hit me right after the powerful story of Ashley.
i wept.
After i wept the Spirit made His appearance without holding back. it was incredible and somewhat scary..
Gods presence is so strong!
No flesh can withstand the power of his love!
To God be the Glory!!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:48 AM
I am 30 years old and was excited when I heard Louie was coming to CT. I was disappointed however when I heard that the event was for students only and did not buy a ticket.
Yesterday at 17:00 a friend of mine gave me two tickets that he was not going to use, so I decided to go. I felt a bit out of place at first, with all the young people, but felt right at home when we started worshipping.
I heard a message I have heard 100 times before and really understood it for the first time.
It was an amazing night! There is only one Jesus!!!
Thanks guys, I have no voice today! I am wearing my arm band untill 3 October.
Please remember Cape Town; We are the Gateway to Africa.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:50 AM
What can I say…? Simply indescribable. It was such an empowering time, and many people got touched by God. God is really glorifying His name through the Passion team. I feel so blessed and honoured to be able to have gone last night.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:52 AM
Hey guys!!!
Wow what a great night we had last night hey? I truly believe that no one left last night without being inspired or fulfilled with a message from Something awesome. Still get chills whenever I think about it. Hope we can bless Mexico so they will experience the same!!
God bless all and aspecially the Passion team for giving themselves in such an amazing way to be used by God!! You guys rock!!
Cheers
August 14th, 2008 at 10:55 AM
Wow, what an evening!!
I became a Jesus fruitcake five years ago. Decided to be radical for Him!! In the beginning it was so easy. Nothing could get in my way, but this year has been especially tough. So many chains trying to choke me. Last night I once again decided to believe that the grace of God is for me and every situation in my life. Only God at work could save me from so many chains. When we sang Mighty to Save I spoke divine release over every chain. This morning 8h00 reality came knocking on my door, but instead of being dismayed, I decided to remind myself of every broken chain by the grace of God. As I’m writing here, I am dumbfounded by the awesome grace of God. So many things happened today, so many situations were changed, so many chains were broken. All praise to our Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!! He truly is mighty to save!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks to all at Passion for being the vessel in which Jesus wanted to remind me of His great love, His grace & His compassion for me!!!
God bless you as you return home. Enjoy your rest before leg 3 starts in Mexico. I’ll be praying!!!!
Shalom!!
August 14th, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Yip, i’m a hogging this blog!
i just love it!!
Now stop posting, people, i need to do some work and try to stop thinking about last night (ja right!!!)
I love you JESUS!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:01 AM
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! It was wonderful to have you Matt, Chris, Louie and team. Wow, it was so great to experience Passion in CT, and it was even more amazing to encounter GRACE.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:05 AM
God’s Grace is HUGE! Thanks for the super worship! I shall not forget the experience of God in that place. Blessings
August 14th, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Wow, what an incredibly amazing night last night was… I must say, I have loved and walked with God for some time now, but for the first time last night, I felt God’s love and grace more powerfully than ever before…Who knew that you could be in a room with 6000 people and feel like it was just you and God! =) God is awesome! Let’s ignite God’s glory in our beautiful city and get His people to go crazy for the cross (in our right minds of course ;) ) !!
thank you sooooo much to the passion team for all your commitment and effort. Your obedience and love for Christ is overwhelming!I pray that God would bless you for it =)
God bless, with love
A fellow fruitcake :) aka Jess
August 14th, 2008 at 11:10 AM
How great is our God!! What a privilege to exalt Him, shout His name, dance before Him… Can we but praise Him? CT will be built on the ROCK of salvation!! We are passionate for His NAME. Let God arise as we trust the Lord for thousands to get saved!
What a beautiful sound to hear all the voices rise up together. Woke up this morning still singing and praising God – it seemed as if I had been singing in my dreams. The spirit never sleeps!
Thank you to the team for going all out for God and spreading the powerful message of GRACE – God bless you! To Mexico City we send our love, we are praying for you all the way!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:23 AM
what an experience- to share the love and passion for christ with 6000 cape townians (and others). we are for sure a dancing generation ready to make your name famous. watch out world we just might go crazy!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Thank you Louie and the Passion Team
had the SING SING SING song going in my head after a fab night last night – what a pleasure to share in that mega experience of praising the Holy One!
thank you for Grace –
praying for Mexico and many loved ones who seem lost like Ashleigh from your story – clearly nothing is too hard for our God- He is Mighty to save! Praise Himn for saving a wretch like me too! He is good!
Jer 32:27 “Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
thank you for what you do making His name famous!
Love you guys
Best wishes for the rest of the tour
August 14th, 2008 at 11:24 AM
It’s weird how sometimes all you can do is just stand in awe of what God is doing! Last night was one of those nights!! But then again, even just watching all the DVD’s from all the trips taken by Louie, Shaun and the team has that effect on me! Something BIG is coming and it’s God calling His children…Just sayin’: “Come, no matter what you’ve done or how you feel, just come, coz My grace is enough!”…I can really relate to parts of what Ashley went through…I was pretty lost (depression and anxiety ruled my life) and God just never gave up on me…He also healed me from the depression and anxiety! I’m saved for a year now and God still doesn’t give up on changing me into the person He wants me to be! What an AWESOME God! A bunch of thanx to Louie and the team…Don’t ever stop doin’ what you’re doing! Young people need what God has given you to give!! Mexico, I really hope you’re ready for what’s comin’, coz it’s gonna hit you and hit you hard!! (In a great way;) )
August 14th, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Words cannot describe how awesome passion SA ct was. A God revolution!
Enjoy Mexico – we’re praying :)
August 14th, 2008 at 11:29 AM
All I have to say is…Our GOD is GREAT!!!! other than that I am speachless! thank you Louie & The Passion team for the most amazing night of my life!
Mexico City, hang on to your seats! There is something HUGE coming your way!
God Bless us all & CT!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:33 AM
Hebrews 10:24-25!!! It’s so amazing to see how God is moving, the God of the City…We are truely the Joshua generation, a generation to make a stand for Jesus Christ, the KING OF KINGS!
Thank you to the Passions Team for an awesome time praising and worshiping in the presence of the Lord God Almighty….
It was a truely moving experience for all of us, i haven’t felt the Holy Spirit move like that for a long time……His consuming fire is stiring up a passion that none can resist, the DAY of the Lord is coming! Amen
P.S. Mexico City – WE PRAYING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Being a Passion veteran and groupie and someone in love with Cape Town it’s so good to hear the news from the stop there. I’m so thankful that God brought the Passion movement to Cape Town to breathe a fresh wind there.
And, it’s great to see the famous white chairs there in the arena. It’s a South African staple!!
We can make God famous in SA!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:37 AM

A BIG up to Louie and the team, you guys are awesome to say the least!!!
Thanks for all you’re prayers Joburg and everyone elses, Not a single soul left that velodrome untouched, those that already knew Jesus, fell inlove with Him more and those that did’nt know him when they entered don’t wanna go one day without him, just walking around spreading the word saying: “BETTER IS ONE DAY WITH THE LORD THEN A MILLION MORE A MILLION MILES AWAY”.
New Mexico City, Get ready for a mighty move of God in your city. Cape Town is praying fot You!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:44 AM
Oh goodness…. God’s amazing goodness! Passion was mind-blowing! I might just go crazy! 6000 people ale praising God and thanking Him for his never-ending incomprehensible grace! Mexico City is in for a roller-coaster ride.
It’s funny because my week up until then had been rather bleak and it felt good to just worship my Best Friend with my all right in the middle of it all.
Oh no
You never let go
through the calm and through the storm
Oh no
You never let go
in every high and every low
Oh no
You never let go
LORD YOU NEVER LET GO OF ME
~!This generation is going crazy for God!~
August 14th, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Wow!! I can’t remember the last time I went insane worshiping and praising Jesus! Last night was awsome! It was an experience I will never forget for my entire life. What was even more great was the authenticity of the worship and the praise… and the display of the grace of our Lord…! I have no words. My prayer is only that God might shine his light and let the whole world see in my own life aswell as in everyone who was present… May God bless you louie and the team, Chris and matt, the band (specially the keyboardist and his note…lol) All of you, May God bless you all…
August 14th, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Double Wow!!!! Louie, Matt & Chris you are so real and relevant. life is awesome, God is good. just felt like jumping, shouting, singing and screaming all day long…good thing I lost my voice last night…
I AM ALIVE!!!!! crazyness of the superfluous abundance of an overwhelming presence of God. Aaaarrrrggggg.
I might be going a little crazy inside, but do not fret.. it is all for an amazing cause.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:49 AM

MEXICO CITY, Prepare yourselves to be blown away, We are praying for you UNTIL 3 OCTOBER!!!!!!
Love you guys!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:57 AM
If Passion Cape Town is a foretaste of what heaven is going to be like…then come Lord Jesus come! What an awesome experience to be apart of God’s multitude of children worshipping and lifting His name high as over 6000 gathered under the rainy Cape Town skies last night.
As I looked out over the sea of raised hands and upturned faces, I was just overwhelmed with gratefulness for our loving Father who has called each one of us to be apart of something so much bigger than ourselves; much bigger than backgrounds and borders- indeed, the grace of God, the cross of Christ.
Just knowing that whether His children gather in Cape Town, in Mexico City, or in any part of the world, we are all apart of the same family, united by the same purpose in the blood of Jesus Christ!
And so Mexico City, Cape Town raises you in our prayers as our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. You are our family. We love you.
In Christ,
Marisa
August 14th, 2008 at 12:00 PM
All honor be unto the ALMIGHTY GOD, who made heaven and earth so that HE can be GLORIFIED!!!!!
What an awsome experiance!
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!!
blessings to all the beautiful children of God in Mexico City!!!
WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Thank You for one of the most awesome nights in my life! And just what a wonderful confirmation of our Lord’s Love, Presence, Mercy and Holyness… Indeed worthy to be praised!!! Isaiah 40:31 – “But those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strenght; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
Mexico City — Prepare, the Lord is going to flood your hearts and sweep you of your feet, because He can, He will and He wants to, Just surrender yourself!!
August 14th, 2008 at 12:12 PM
WOW!WOW!WOW!!!!

seems God is very serious about this place, about this people, about this time!
wonderful to have Louie and the gang here, to focus on His plans for now, and for here

Luv u guys
August 14th, 2008 at 12:24 PM
Last night was AMAZING!! Thanks so much to Chris, Louie, Matt, the band, and the rest of the Passion team, wherever you are in the world! I loved all the songs, Louie’s talk, and especially praying together.
Mexico City, get ready!! CT is praying for you!!! God is going to do something crazy!!!
Louie, I especially want to thank you. I have been saved since I was 6, but I have always been afraid to totally surrender my life to His will. Last night I truly realized that nothing I have planned for my future is half as good as what God wants for me. What you said about “No boy that’s coming is better than God’s grace” really got me; thank you so much.
God bless you all!! I’m praying for you!
August 14th, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Passions U Rock..

Thank you Jesus for using Chris and Louie and everyone behind the scenes!!!! I help lead worship in my church and am always giving. Last night in Cape Town God was so real and i worshiped with all of my heart and He was so tangible!!! And it was great to receive.
I have been struggling with my walk with Jesus latley, I know He is the reason i excist but i felt i had to do everything out of discipline and not love!!! Thank you
God for lighting the fire again and meeting with me last night in such a real way. I can’t stop crying of the love he has for us and all his beauty!!! Life is a gift and i am living Louie!!!! I am living!!!
May all the Glory be given to the Lord of Lords Christ Jesus!!!

So encouraging, to see what God is doing all over the world, it’s easy to get caught up in your own little world. Passion really made me excited.
And Wow I love GRACE! such a crazy idea really, only God
August 14th, 2008 at 1:48 PM
its awesome awesome awesome to see how many brothers and sisters from different nations were praying for us in CT last nite…

WAY TO ROCK HIS GLORY CAPE TOWN!
August 14th, 2008 at 1:58 PM
Wow what a night!!
6000+ young people from different walks of life, coming together, expressing their hearts to their Savior – as one voice – AWESOME!!
To Louie and the Passion Team, thanks for being real, for being humble & for being willing to go where ever HE sends you!!
And last but not least, Mexico, you’re next.. GET READY GET READY GET READY!!!!!!!!! :)
August 14th, 2008 at 2:03 PM
Praise God for the way our generation stood up in unity in Cape Town and cried out His name and shouted His glory! Brace yourselves Mexico City! Brace yourselves world!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 2:21 PM
WoW! The Holy Spirit is so faithful, how He just rocks up and totally blows us away, so that all that is left is what He has done – and is doing!
He really spoke so deep into my soul and spirit last night when we started singing after Louis had spoken. He really did give me one of those ‘WoW’ experiences where you just go crazy – for a moment -quite a long moment.
Everything, He just washed away, everything He just made new. He has empowered us to be His vessels, as empty and broken as we are!
Through our cracks He shines through and people see that it’s only because of what He struggled through that i can breathe! and that we can breathe!
Now Jesus, Holy Spirit, Shine Your l Light in and THROUGH me so that the WHOLE WHOLE WHOLE entire world can see the splendor of Your Majesty – see Your GLORY, where You and what You have done and Your Kingdom will be made FAMOUS!
I pray that this will not stop with warm fuzzy feelings dwindling in our hearts, but that it will be loving out loud! – Love in action – justice – changing this world, for His GLory.
Some one once said to me , that if it is not practical, then its not spiritual.
How will people see His great Light, unless it has a way of getting out of our spiritual bubbles. Help us Jesus to not be selfish with the intimacy and life that you have given us!
Help us to naturally, and tactfully be BOLD and open up our hearts to this dead world.
Thank You guys for being obedient and getting out of your comfort zones, travelling all over the world to encourage us and shine the light of the Holy Spirit in you to us, sharing the mandate and recruiting more us to be present and active in His Army of Light!
:)
August 14th, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Shine your light for the whole wolrd to see!!! Last nite was the greatest nite of my life! seing 6000people giving everything to God, was Awesome!!!thanx alot to Passion for making it possible,i think it changed everyones life in a beter way. Up next is Mexico..Cape Town is praying for you!!!

August 14th, 2008 at 2:45 PM
WWWOOOWWW!!! what an awesome time of worship & adoration to the ONLY TRUE GOD. Thanks so much for coming, we look forward to many of these in the future. Would’ve loved to hear more songs from Matt Redman, but it was cool anyway, Blessings
August 14th, 2008 at 2:58 PM
Wow. . Awesome. . Amazing. . .The power of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It was the best night of my life. To hear the roar of 6000, shouting His name on high is just an indication of how Jesus is changing our generation for the better. Thank you God for Your GRACE(God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense) We will all be praying for Mexico and yes . . I’m wearing the band til the very end!!! God bless xx
August 14th, 2008 at 2:58 PM
Last night was AMAZING and I feel honoured to have been able to share the evening with the other 6000 people gathered. Praising Jesus and connecting with Him on another level, it’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. I’d like to thank everyone who made it possible, but most of all I’d love to publicly thank Jesus Christ. He was there last night; He changed and saved my life. I pray He blesses Mexico City the same way He did Cape Town. Remember: greater things are still coming and Jesus is still as mighty as He ever has been. He’s saving lives even today.
August 14th, 2008 at 3:02 PM
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, His Father and the Holy Spirit!!!
Oh yeah! Big up to GOD!!!!! Passion was WOW! Loved it! I came with my youth group but moved to the front and even though I knew no one up front, I felt included and amazed that most of or even all of the people there was my brother and sister! Thanks Louis for that awesome message and Chris and Matt for the great worship!
Just remember guys: “Greater things are still to come, greater things are still do be done in THIS city!!!!!”
May the grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you ALL now and forever more!!!!
LOL! (Lots of Love!!!)
Andrew
PS Even though I’m a prefect at my school and we are not allowed to wear arm bands, my one is not coming off until the 3rd of October so get ready Mexico cause the Capetonians are praying for you and we hope you have an awesome, eye opening time!!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:02 PM
Wow wow wow wow
Man oh man we serve an awesome God
“FOR GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO COME AND GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO BE DONE IN THIS CITY”
well i’m speechless-God’s GRACE is so tangible
I’m sooo sooo excited for Mexico because what they are about to experience is………………………..
Let me just say only God can do that!!!

August 14th, 2008 at 3:07 PM
Oh ya and lets here it for all the back stage people, the people in the neon green shirts (I think they’re volunteers) and the sound and lighting guys cause if it wasn’t for you guys, Passion Cape Town would have flopped!!! WELL DONE GUYS!!!!
And just to make a point: BIG UP TO GOD!!!!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Thank You Lord for answering Joburg’s prayers and rocking CT! :-)
We’re all gonna lift the Name of Jesus high in our lives, and be a part in God’s Story for this beautiful country! :-)
I’ve got an idea for all those who want to try keep their bangles on until the end of the Passion World Tour…if they last that long-hee hee :-)
Take a fineliner or very fine permanent marker and write the name of the next city to be visited as well as the date of their event. Then we know whose coming up and can pray for them :-)
By the end of it all, we can look at the bangle and see the cities we know our Awesome God has reached!
Love you all!
Mexico-you’re next! We’re praying for you so much :-)
August 14th, 2008 at 3:21 PM
I was about 20 years older than the average person there last night; but with me were 11 folk old enough to be my mom (in fact one of them
WAS my mom!) Thank you Jesus for the privildge of having my 2 daughters and my mom amongst the 6000 honouring you last night. Cindy (A – Durbanville) and Nicola -I am SO proud to be your mom and so honoured that you walk with Jesus. I thought we were too old and out of place, but last night – God showed us the Passion of this generation. Our job is to pray for and lift our young people to Jesus. To pray for them and to love them. To be Christa to the Ashleys in our lives. For He showed us “Greater things are yet to come, and greater things are still to be done in this City”. Shine your light, Jesus – throughout Cape Town, and on to Mexico Ciy!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Have been looking forward to this since the very first time i saw the original passion oneday dvd. I had always planed to save up and go see them in America. It was a real blessing to have you come and do an event here in CT. it was really awesome being part of the volunteer team.
It was a real honour to have Chris and Matt lead worship and to get to hear Louie in person.
Praise Jesus for an amazing team.
August 14th, 2008 at 3:31 PM
there is so much i would love to say but my mind is still realling from being at such an awesome event. God is really awesome.
It was really great standing there and worshiping with so many other Christians.
the worship was awesome and i will never forget Chris and Matt leading us in worship. The talk Louie did was awesome.
Thanks for putting together such an amazing night.
Thanks Lord for all the answered prayers.
ps Passion team can you please come again.
August 14th, 2008 at 3:32 PM
WOW LAST NIGHT WAS SO AWESOME! THANK YOU LOUIS AND THE PASSION TEAM! JESUS REALLY ROCKED CAPE TOWN LAST NIGHT!!!!

August 14th, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Passion really has a great vission. You have impacted my life to want to make a difference for Christ amid the colledge students of my town. May God bless the work that your doing and may you impact millions more.
You really blessed Cape Town
may a passion for God be stired among the colledge students in Mexico.
August 14th, 2008 at 3:47 PM
I LOVE JESUS!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:02 PM
To have had the rare chance and privilege, to worship in a space with so many other children of God was indescribable as said so many times before!
I am a dad, of a little girl of 5 years old and a boy of 11 months. I would love to see them as students worship our God they way these students did last night! It blew me away!
I would probably be grey or bald, but I would be smiling, because in my heart I would know my God will be smiling! We are so fortunate, God is smiling upon us every moment we breathe! I worship You my King, our King, the Creator of us all!
Blessed be Your Kingdom and children in Mexico City!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:04 PM
An amazing evening! God rulez!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:10 PM
GOD’S GRACE…….WOW WOW WOW WOW
August 14th, 2008 at 4:11 PM

Thursday 14 August 2008 10:03PM (SA TIME) …
Today just felt different … in a good way.
GRACE
That is what it is all about. PLAIN AND SIMPLE !!!
To the Passion Team … A HUGE THANK YOU!!!
I must admit, I went a bit crazy today. Early morning I had to drive Camps Bay, and ironically noticed that the weather we had today was awesome (people strolling and well just relaxing on the beach … don’t they work?!) So I decided to praise the LORD, while on my way to Campsbay and I think some heads did turn into my direction.
It’s alright. I couldn’t keep my joy for myself, of what GOD has done in my life. After Yesterday’s event, My Passion for GOD, Life and other relationships has been restored.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free…
Unending love, Amazing Grace
NB> to all my Mexican Amigo’s , I’m praying for you all.
had some problems getting the wristband off my arm and in My Bible, so that I can pray for you guys
God Bless you all…. Nkosi Sikelel’
August 14th, 2008 at 4:20 PM
WOW is all i can say.. that was amazing and i truly felt God within the velodrome.. We worshipped and prayed till we had nothing left to give and still carried on!
Praise God!
Mexico City we’ll be praying for you! Our God is great and may you feel His presence moving through your community!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Thanks for ministering in the most beautiful city in the world! Hey Cape Town, lets intereceed for Michael (Ashley’s Dad). Don’t forget to keep Mexico City in prayer as well.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:27 PM
awesome pictures number one. and number two awesome conference, God-time thing. God is so good in his grace he gives us, its mad! love it! God really just encouraged me to worship him in a real way, so good. this is a post.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:32 PM
i could say the worship was awsome..i could say the speaker was awsome….heck, i could say the evening was awsome it just wouldn’t be enough…Louie and PASSION team….you’ll never know how one word that was said from the stage, and one line in a song can show an AWSOME God’s answer/ confirmation (etc etc etc) to a prayer uttered by a young, shy, insignificant speck of a boy many years ago…not only that but also to 5 (and soon, the 4 others who couldnt make it last night) “insignificant” nobodies van die plaasland.
“Being confident of this (Cape Town and peeps), that He who began a good work in you WILL carry it on to completion until the day of Christ”
Lets step out and claim what God has given to us already!!!!!!!!!!
MAKE GOD FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless you all
August 14th, 2008 at 4:35 PM

Hi Louie and the Passion team,
I came to Passion Cape Town with our church’s youth. My excuse was lift-giver, but really it was so fantastic to be with everyone worshipping God together . I promise you that you can be 46 and still crazy about the Grace of God after all those years!!! (Hey – Louie: you know that too! ;-) )
Strength, boldness and ENERGY!! or leg 3. And: Mexico City you are in my prayers.
Steve
August 14th, 2008 at 5:04 PM
All blessing, all honor, all power, all dominion, all glory to our great God!!

August 14th, 2008 at 5:23 PM
God is good!! Sometimes it is so easy to forget this, yet after a night of praising God, you can’t help but feel just a tiny ounce of Gods love touching our lives. I woke up this morning with a sadness that Passion Cape Town was over, but I know that Louie and his team have helped to equip us to carry out a job in one of Gods Cities. Passion may have ended, but this is the beginning of an awesome chapter with God in our generation’s story. Now it is up to us to put our selfish plans aside and start to follow God as he works in his city.
“Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city”
Lets be apart of it and not just watch from the sidelines.
August 14th, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Great is our God – The first, the end and the storyteller of our lives!
And what a night – my first passion live performance! A night of repenting, new discoveries, glorious hope and of course grace. I got to sing Amazing Grace with Chris Tomlin and hear beautiful words from Louie – I know God loves your big mouth :)
One by one God is changing this generation’s hearts, like He is changing mine! Over the globe we are going to take the nations by storm and bring victory to our God in Jesus’ name! To be able to see God working, to be a part of this is truly amazing grace! I pray with all my heart for every person that was in the velodrome last night and every person that will hear their story! And then of course from now till October prayers will be rising from campus for our friends in Mexico. I can say nothing more but to be expectant, for 3rd October will surely be a night that will bring you very very very close to our Lord and Saviour!!
To all the guys and girls from Passion, I don’t know how much rest you will have in September, but it will be spring in South Africa and that means new life everywhere. Let God fill you with renewed strength and passion and love and wonder like He blesses the earth with new life. My heart is with you tonight and all who carries the Message.
God bless
with Love
August 14th, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Yeah, i agree with everyone! What an incredible evening and experience, which is actually impossible to put into words! Thank you Louie, Matt, and Chris, and the whole Passion team for coming all the way to South Africa and for the including us in this movement that is taking over the world! I am so excited for the future to unfold!!
August 14th, 2008 at 5:41 PM
Wow, our God is alive!! To see the passion that students from around the world have for God is unreal. This generation is rising up from all around, its the anthem of the Lord’s renown.. We stand united!! Thank you Louie and your team! You guys are doing amazing work, or rather God is doing amazing work through you. Thanks you for making yourselves available! To Mexico and the remaining cities that passion will be at, Cape Town is praying for you. Encourage as many people to go to passion as you can, it would be a shame for anybody to miss it. God is moving in this generation and we are part of it, what a privilege!!
See you in heaven
Jason
August 14th, 2008 at 5:51 PM
WOW!!! God is awesome. That song of Chris Tomlin: God of this city is stuck in my head and it its awesome!! God bless the rest of the tour and especially the next leg in Mexico City whom we’re praying for.
Greater things are yet to come!!!!
Cape Town will remember this evening…….
And for my fellow Afrikaans students at Stellenbosch: Vertrou in God en Hy sal sy heerlikheid toon. Aan God al die eer!!! Hierdie plek gaan verander want Jesus bly hier!
Jesus!
August 14th, 2008 at 5:57 PM

August 14th, 2008 at 6:03 PM
My all time favourite thing about Passion Cape Town was looking down from the stands and seeing 6000 people with their hands raised, praising our wonderful God! Thank you Passion team for bringing God’s people to the veledrome and letting us experience what I imagine to be a ‘miny heaven’.
Thank you Joburg (and especially my brother, Ian, who mentioned me in his blog entry) for SHOWERING us with prayer.
And Mexico City… you better know that you’re gonna be prayed for a WHOLE lot because I saw how many people raised their hands when asked who isn’t gonna remove their Passion Mexico City bracelets until 4 October!!!Yes we might start to stink but you guys are worth it!
August 14th, 2008 at 6:11 PM
That night was amazing!
I had just come back from a 24hour working day and almost didn’t go, but as I walked into the Velodrome I could feel the energy in the air and I felt refreshed and renewed!
Than you Johburg for your prayers and your thoughts…
It is amazing to be part of this revival…thank you Passion and above ALL
- THANK YOU JESUS FOR ALLOWING YOUR BLOOD TO FLOW -
I pray that the event in Mexico is blessed and may God touch every soul
August 14th, 2008 at 6:24 PM
hey man the PODCAST IS AWESOME, OH MY GOODNESS GOOSEBUMPS ITS AWESOME THANK YOU JESUS
August 14th, 2008 at 6:27 PM
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mexico City be ready – passion is coming to change ur life!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 7:28 PM
Awêness !
How humbling, how exciting!?
From north to south It came down
Joburg to Cape Town
Mexico City, now it’s your turn
in your nation, let God’s flame forever burn
How great it is to see a generation of ordinary, “useless” young people rise and allow God to shine through them and make them look extra-ordinary, all for His glory.
Soldiers going to battle with a testimony of God’s grace as their weapon.
Revelation 12:11
August 14th, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Theres One word that I can say that I can say that can sum up everything that was said and experienced at Passion on Wednesday Night at the Veledrome in Cape Town is “WOW”. I could feel that Gods power was working so hard that people were bowing and praising God so much that night that it was so unbelievable. I wana thank the Passion Team; Louis Giglio and Chris Tomlin for making an event so great that it will never ever be forgotten as long as I live. God worked in my life that night and it would of not happened if Passion never came. To all the People in Mexico City; This arm band that I got around my arm will be here till the 3rd and 4th of October to remind me to pray for you guys till then. Get ready Mexico City as PASSION is coming to you with full force. Be ready to get slammed in the face the power of Gods Word through the music and through the talk. May God bless every single person that is going to Passion on the 3/4 October in Mexico City as it will be a night that will never ever be forgotten. You are extremly lucky to be the 1st city in Leg 3. May God bless you and may you be humbled with the praise and power that God is Going to work with you through Chris Tomlin, Loius Giglio and the Whole Passion Team.
Thanks Again Passion
My Night was awesome and you are all in my prayers
God Bless and Keep on making a difference in the Youth of today.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:40 PM

I’ll have to agree with the comments above..
The pictures are amazing!!
It’s wonderful to see how God is working through Passion in South Africa..
Leg 2 is over, but hundreds and thousands of people have been so blessed. They are ready to make Jesus famous in Manila, KL, Jakarta (!), Jozi, and CT!!!
God bless you guys for the next leg..Keep praying for Mexico City!
Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done!

Wow, wow, wow. This was one of the greatest experiances of my life!! Thanx to the passion team for a great night.
Our GOD is MIGHTHY TO SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 2:26 AM
WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE–TO BE SURROUNDED BY THE GLORY AND GRACE OF GOD. CAPE TOWN WAS MEMORABLE AND I THANK GOD FOR SAVING ME IN ORDER FOR US TO SHINE HIS LIGHT!!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 2:44 AM
God was really at work at the conference. I pray and believe that all the commitments everyone made will be solid and grounded.
Just a correction on a statement at the conference – we (RSA) did not win any medals in the olympic games so far.
When scrubbing for theatre it could become a problem, but I’m wearing (and praying) my armband till it falls off.

To Louie and the rest of the Passion team,
Thank you for coming to our little corner of Africa on Wednesday night! What a privilege it was to worship and pray together as a city, united as one for His fame and His renown!
Our God indeed reigns and forever His Kingdom shall rain!
God is in this city!
August 15th, 2008 at 2:54 AM
Im just reading through the blogs, and I get watery-eyed and churned stomach and (krop-in-die-keel) reading the hundreds of testimonies and praises to God.
Let us allow God to use us anyway, anytime and anywhere He pleases. There is a lot of love needed in our city. The Bible says that ask and I (God) will give the nations to you as your inheritance! Cape Town is our inheritance – let us changed it and be the change in it for Christ and His Glory.
An awesome part in Matthew says that Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth – The meek are already inheriting the earth. Meek basically speaks a great power under full control – humility. A well-trained horse is a perfect example. Imagine the power in this part. The earth is our inheritance. We are to spread the fragrance of Christ throughout our city and the world with love, patience and great humility while fully knowing and realizing the great power of God inside of us. It is a mindblowing thought.
I just had to share that. When i read the messages – that’s what jumped out for me. How would you like to take over the world? It’s awesome to hear from people throughout the world. We can do this for Christ!
August 15th, 2008 at 3:01 AM
Day 2 After the event!
Cape Town, lets keep pressing in and seeking God! Let us leave a legacy of love, for our God is love!
August 15th, 2008 at 3:05 AM
What an awesome night!
I think it all just really confirmed what God is doing in this beautiful city and all over the world!
Let’s keep the passion going for His name alone!
Thanks Louie and your team!
Peace and GRACE
August 15th, 2008 at 3:23 AM
There’s not a lot been going on recently to make me want to get up, let alone get up smiling…But come Thursday i woke up dancing :-) I couldn’t concentrate in my (9 o’ clock) lecture cos the music was still playing in my head…i was bouncing, i still am
THANK YOU, to everyone. To the amazing crowd that was there, to Louie and Chris and the band and Matt and my awesome friends who actually knew that this was happening (cos i’m always the last to know). To GOD, the One holding me together and making me dance. And though none of my circumstances have change and though the pain is still here, i’m now singing: blessed be Your NAME.

How privileged we are to be living in a place like Cape Town! I love this place and its inhabitants more and more every day; because God loves them and He loves me!
Passion was amazing on Wednesday night! I felt so uplifted to know that there were so many other (and even more) brothers and sisters living for God in Cape Town. I was also impacted once again by the message of God’s AMAZING GRACE. Who could have imagined? It makes me want to go CRAZY for him!!…but for the sake of those around me, I will refrain :)
Louis, thank-you for letting God use you to do the wonderful work that He is doing.
God, thank-you for loving us!!!

August 15th, 2008 at 6:02 AM
Passionately we will worship God, Passionately we will serve Him and heed to His voice, and Passionately we stood as one body in one building, KISSED the Lord’s feet, washed it with our tears and dried it with our being crazy for His Name’s Sake!!
Bless you guys for being willing to preach the gospel and be lead by the Holy Spirit that raised our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in SUCH an amazing way!!! It truly was life changing.
Thanks for sharing Ashlee’s testimony.. By the Blood of The Lamb and by the Word of our tesTimony we overcome evil, and will keep on overcoming till the day He returns!

August 15th, 2008 at 6:58 AM
This was probably the most awesome experience ever! Its good to know that there’s a lot of us good people out there that wants to be disciples of the only God there is. Lets not become part of this world and focus on Jesus! We will be rewarded for helping people stepping out of the darkness and into the light!!
August 15th, 2008 at 6:59 AM
God was awesome
He opened my eyes again and really show what he could do in my life and in the people around me.
The only thing I can say is Mexico hold on God has an plan.

August 15th, 2008 at 7:16 AM
WOW! It’s taken me two days to settle down from the excitement and actually write this. Haha.
PASSION was amazing, God is AMAZING. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to see young adults gathered to glorify the one true God. Guys lets keep on being fruitcakes for the Glory of God. I firmly beleive that things are picking up pace in the western cape and, pretty much all over the world. God is doing a new thing. WooHoo!
Mexico get ready! Everybody with a white wrist-band put your hands up.
Ps. Thanks a million to the Passion team and may the Lord continue to bless and keep you. We love you guys.

August 15th, 2008 at 7:53 AM
the one thing we cant buy
is the one thing we cant live without!
and we can only live in it because it is given!
but it was never free to begin with,
it took the one thing no one ells could do, by the one person perfect enough to do it, to achieve the one promise that could never be broken,
all because of the one thing we cant live without!
Grace… I get it now!
August 15th, 2008 at 7:55 AM
IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!IT COMPLETELY IGNITED MY FIRE FOR HIM ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!
I went with no expectations and it was better than I could have hoped for.Our God is amazing,wonderfull,powerfull and a healer!
Mexico set your expectations high ’cause even those will be exceeded.
August 15th, 2008 at 8:07 AM

August 15th, 2008 at 8:31 AM
The Passion Tour in Cape Town on Wednesday evening was an AWESOME EXPERIENCE. The worship and message was WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best evening of the year and an unforgettable event.
Hope to see The Passion Tour in 2009 in Cape Town, again.
Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 8:39 AM
WOW!!!I heard a while back that the meanin of Grace is God taking away what we deserve(death) and giving us what we dont.(life).
And that was powerful, but wednesday evening God broke it down for me and I think for the 1st time I realised how AMAZIN HE IS!!!!!
Thanks passion team for being obedient and living out Gods call for your lives, Ive just been falling more deeply in love with the CREATOR OF LIFE this week…….another challenge I walked away with is ashleighs story, we need to be Gods hands and feet and love others the way Christ does…..lets stop focusing on ourselves and look for the Ashleighs in our lives and be that shining light for God to reflect from.
Mexico City prepare to be blown away!!!!!!!!!!Its goin to be a life altering and life giving experience.
Be blessed

August 15th, 2008 at 9:03 AM
All I can say is… It was AMAZING!!! It’s been two days now already and I am still singing ‘He is Mighty to Save’!!!
I didn’t really know what to expect, because this was my first Passion conference, but I just had a huge expectation in my heart and just as His Word promise us, my expectation was abundantly exceeded!!! Praise GOD!
The greatest thing of this for me is that although it was awesome experiencing God together with 6500 people, He wants to meet each one of us like that EVERY DAY! By the GRACE of Jesus we can boldly enter the presence of God!!
Don’t limit God to human ability or knowledge – Nothing is impossible for Him and …. GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO COME!!!
Mexico, Cape Town is praying for you! Be expectant!!
August 15th, 2008 at 9:07 AM
WOW! What an amazing experience! Enjoyed every minute praising our AWESOME God. Louie your message was sooo great, it made me want to re-commit my life to Christ (even though I’ve been a Christian for nearly 20 years. (Showing my age here) Yes, I am 51 and still doing the stuff like a 20 year old! Love you Passion Team! Praying for Mexico City in October.
August 15th, 2008 at 9:08 AM
WOW!!!!!! Our GOD is amazing. i am still at a loss for words and its been 2 days since the conference. i am on fire for JESUS again. Our has trully shown how great he is. His grace is the best thing that has happened to me and my family. It was a life changing experience and its never gonna be forgotten. I cant wait to share with my friends what our GOD has done in my life and how he is working with me. He saved me and all of us from death.
Mexico- be prepared to be blown away by how great our GOD is.
love you all.
August 15th, 2008 at 9:27 AM
Oh my hat!! It is 2 days later and I can still hear passion echoing in my head! I love it! I get excited everytime I hear it!
I thought about passion like this: It’s like having tiny little dots of light all over the earth. Dots representing over thousands of young people worshiping and praising the name of Jesus! HECTIC
Then can you imagine how if all of these got big enough, they would eventually meet, engulfing the whole Earth with God’s Glory! Once again, HECTIC!!!
I think as young people we should all let our little lights shine as bright as possible, so that we could see the day when there are so many little lights, that there isn’t any place left for darkness. Where there isn’t any more place for anything else but Jesus.
So I’m gonna let mine shine, Thanx Passion team for encouraging all of us all over the world to make it happen.
D :-)
August 15th, 2008 at 9:43 AM
Glad you had an awesome time in Cape Town! Let’s keep this tidal wave of love going to Mexico City. Let’s give them double the love and prayer from both cities in SA!!
August 15th, 2008 at 9:44 AM
Wow. Totally awesome. I love Jesus so so much and I just wanna love Him more!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Mexico City, we are praying for you!!
August 15th, 2008 at 10:03 AM
I don’t cry! But man did I come close.
I can’t count the number of times I have sung “Mighty to save”. But hearing those words from the mouth of someone who had just experienced God’s saving might, put the whole thing back into perspective.
Louie, when you read those lyrics from Ashley’s journal, I had one of those crazy moments. I did not scream or shout, but I had a tear in my eye and I realised that those lyrics have just the same depth for me (I can’t even remember when I became a Christian – don’t worry I know I am one :) ) as they do to Ashley (who has a clear cut “before and after” story).
August 15th, 2008 at 10:05 AM
And another thing I thought about as I was writing the comment above: (I am not sure I can properly express this in words, but here goes)
I don’t ever want to ‘enjoy’ worship again. I don’t want to sing another song because it makes me feel good.
I want to understand and appreciate the depth of the lyric. There are some AMAZING lyricists who’s insight into God and who He is and what He has done for us is so deep, that it is almost insulting to their gifting if we *just* sing their songs.
I am not sure if that properly expressed what I am feeling.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Shine your light and let the whole world see, we’re singing for the Glory of the Risen King
I’m still in awe of how God moved at Passion 3days ago!!!the conference was definately indescribable… not enough words in the english vocab to describe it! thanks you Lord for your GRACE, LOVE AND MERCY, and being the Lord of my life, the lover of my soul and the best friend i never had!
Mexico City get ready for a move of God like you’ve never experienced before, we love you and praying for you guys!
much love and peace
August 15th, 2008 at 10:50 AM
This was one AMAZING night to remember. God is working in the hearts of millions of young people all over the world!!
What a sight to see.
May God many more hearts and shift minds before your very eyes!
Blessings
August 15th, 2008 at 11:02 AM
WOW WOW WOW!
God is a mighty and awesome God, to bless Cape Town with such an amazing team who gave us a great night to remember. thank you Louie, Chris, Matt, the band and the rest of the team for making all this possible. THANK YOU!
It was an amazing night of worship and complimentary God-song of all time!
May our awesome God bless you all and keep you and may He make His face shine upon you and give you all peace. May He give you strength for the next round of Passion tours with new zest!
blessings…

August 15th, 2008 at 11:26 AM
Wow ! Passion CT was amazing.
My heart was broken before the Lord … for the very first time I stood in awe of the cross. Thanks Louie for helping me begin to grasp the grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said “The truth shall set you free” & I was set free indeed. Thanks Worship team for amazing worship.
I pray that many lives in Mexico will be changed through Ashley’s story.
Praise God!
August 15th, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Wow! It was such an awesome experience and privilege to worship Jesus with 5999 people who love HIM!
I pray that we will make this experience a part of our lives and not leave it at the doors of the Velodrome – that we can take the love of Jesus into our universities and back to our churches.
Mexico City – prepare yourselves for a life-changing experience!!
August 15th, 2008 at 11:46 AM
48 hours later and I’m still buzzing – despite now having a nasty cold! Bits and pieces of the songs keep popping in my head and reminding me of God’s constant presence in my life. We were among the ‘older’ generation there on Wed night and I was so glad I gatecrashed – sorry Louie! Not just because it was so fantastic to hear all you guys live, or because of the Jesus focus (though of course that was the best!), but because of the hope it gave us to stand up on the top seats there and see a sea of young people losing themselves in everything God gave us on Wed., standing up and being counted for the future of SA! Worship was not like this when I was a teen!:-) So you guys, Passion has thrown out a challenge – go be all that God intends for you to be, live the songs!
Mexico City – get ready, spread the word, fill the venue, you need to be there! And way to go Kampala – did Louie really say 25 000 of you were there? God is doing amazing things in Uganda!
Bless you all, have a good rest before October!
August 15th, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Amazing Grace! Passion was awsome! How amazing it is to have the oppertunity to spend a night with 6000 other young cildren of God! thank you Passion teaam!
The message that Louis had was very inspiring to me. Not only that God saved Ashley and used her to Shine His light but her roommate helped me to remember that I could help God make a difference in someones life. It won’t always be easy to live the Gospel but we can make a difference on our Campus just by living for God and holding on to Him and beiing there for others when they feel they have no one else!
I am truely renewed by Grace! and if someone calls me fruitcake…… right on! Jesus is working!
Praying for Mexico City!
August 15th, 2008 at 11:58 AM
Cape Town is definitely a Cape of Good Hope with an awesome God like ours. He is mighty to save!! Thanks to the Passion Team for a great event, but all the glory to God for all his GRACE! I’m ecstatic that God said I’m his friend!! Now you guys in MEXICO CITY, God bless you, be ready for an life-changing experience!! You’re in my prayers!!
August 15th, 2008 at 12:51 PM
Yes Michelle, I share your prayer that we will make this experience a part of our lives and not leave it at the doors of the drome
I am taking up the challenge to be changed from the inside out. And to make a difference.
Just for reference – RSA did not win any medal (yet) in swimming as announced at the conference.
[whatch this space abd remember my name - I will not let God go until He declares a blessing over me (like Jacob said)]
August 15th, 2008 at 1:00 PM
WOW MEXICO!! Greater things are to come for you!
I pray and believe that God doubles what He has done here, provides for those to be there that He has work to do with and ubandantly blesses the team who spend their lives for HIS glory and fame.
EXPECT AND SEE!
August 15th, 2008 at 1:08 PM
yep – not much else to say than: WOW….
it is the greatest honour to serve this God of grace and love.
we pray and believe that God will touch the heart of every Capetonian, and that it would not stop there… Let His Name be famous ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless the passion team and everyone involved… Mexico – may you also come to know His heart!! we are praying for you!
I know I’m repeating myself, but: Let His Name be famous ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
fruitcake from stellenbosch – cape town – south africa
August 15th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
It was truely an amaizing experience, I love the worship and in all honesty it is going to be hard to experience gr8t worship like this again. I went to the event with a real expectation and God blessed me fully. It was fantastic I wish I could have worship and a cermon like this every week.
God bles the rest of the PASSION TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 2:12 PM
Ah JESUS! What an evening!! It was so good to be in Cape Town again, and to join 6000 other passionate lovers of God was the best ending to the short break that I had!
Cape Town, we are the Cape of Good Hope!!!!!!!!! That name ws not given to us +- 400 years ago for no reason. God knew this time would come; he knew what he had install for those of us living in this day and age!
Let our lights shine. Father; let YUOR light shine through us. We live for you and not ourselves!
MEXICO CITY: We love you! We are praying that the two days will be so full of God’s grace ad love that your lives will be changed forever. We are keeping our armbands on to remind us of you;-)
August 15th, 2008 at 2:57 PM
WOW!!!! Thats all I can say about Passion Cape Town and Passion as a whole. God is really doing something all around the world and all I could think about the whole night was what a priveledge that God has allowed me to be a part of this generation. Thank you Passion team for awakening a deeper hunger in our hearts for God and the things of God……we will all be praying for the greater things that are yet to come to Cape Town. And Mexico City, you are in our hearts and prayers………we are expecting God to do
August 15th, 2008 at 2:59 PM
awesome things there. We might not be there with you physically but we are with you in spirit…………..Love you Mexico City!!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 3:01 PM
WOW!! I’m still trembling from Wednesday… what a God-blessed night!!
Now that I had a bit of time to actually start taking everything in, I couldn’t get Ashley out of my mind!! In terms of the show, isn’t THAT what a funeral is?? The celebration of a life on Earth… I felt such a deep desire to BE her. I think it’s such a honour to be celebrated like that!! When I die, I want people to hear my story as well and be inspired in a Godly way!! If I can’t have that, I don’t want a funeral at all!!
Louie… you are absolutely brilliant!! I have all your DVD’s and I just LOVE to listen to your God-blessed wisdom! It was just awesome to be in God’s presence!! Everything falls off one’s shoulders and you realise again that there is just NOTHING in this world more important…
God, thank you for people like those of the PASSIONS team… Bless them in every way and guide them wherever they go. Amen

Rom12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Heb12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Great things await Cape Town!! Praise our Almighty God for that!! Mexico, South Africa is praying for you! We pray that you will have a life-changing experience and that you will never stop SHINING YOUR LIGHT FOR JESUS!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 4:56 PM
Hola! WOW… What a great night!! I need to get out more, Passion minstries you rock. This was my first (but not the last) passion conference for me. If only the rest of the world could see this major light beaming off the people who went they would just know why we serve such an Awsome God. I use to be an “Ashley” about a year ago until I discovered life for the first time, that just hit home for me and made me realise that I can make a difference cause there’s someone else relating to my story and we have to share what God has done for us. Even if it means reading your personal journal in front of 6000 people.
Can’t wait to see you guys again SOOOOOON!!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 5:18 PM
Hey Wednesday was great!!! I have never seen so many young Christians in Cape Town, it s normally just the old folk who pitch for big Christian events! I really believe that God is on the verge of doing great things in our beautiful city. We have earned the reputation of being a cosmopolitan city full of many way out religions (everything from atheism to new age and the occult), but I believe that God is about to change all of that!! Even starting to see it in the youth that we work with. Been in some rural villages lately where the people have never heard about Jesus and I am telling you the youth of our country is so hungry for God, we just need to go out and make disciples. What’s great is that in the schools that I have worked with lately, there is one common question, “how can we reach more people for God?” I can’t even begin to tell you how different that is from just a few years ago! God is moving in South Africa!!
To the Passion team: I don’t think we will ever know just how much God used you guys to sow into our country, but I know that because Christ is the foundation that you have built on God will reap the harvest. It’s so refreshing that you guys constantly pointed to God and not yourselves, we really don’t see enough of that. It’s not always easy to be in Ministry, but the afflictions we face are nothing compared to the miracle of seeing someone get saved! Always remember that God’s Grace is enough to carry you through any situation. May God refresh you in this time of rest!!! Strongs for the next leg of the tour
Mexico look out here comes a wave of God, drink deep God wants to refresh you with his living waters!!! We are praying for you guys, may God do an even greater thing in mexico than what he has done here!!!

August 15th, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Thank you God for all you are!!! It is beautiful for my spirit to read all that is taking place from around this huge world for His fame and glory!!
Go God, thanks Passion team for being so faithful to His call in all of your lives.
I love God and I love you Passion family!! His love endures FOREVER!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 10:43 PM
From the comments from Manila to Cape Town, I could tell that the 2nd leg of the tour is WOW. And that WOW would always try to capture the moments when God has touched and stirred the hearts of those who came to these events.
Pastor Louie and the Passion team, thank you again and God bless to the third leg.
Get ready Mexico. God is gonna take you by storm ^_^
August 16th, 2008 at 1:38 AM
How great is our God! Last night & God’s amazing Grace is INDESCRIBABLE!
God truly is the God of this city and region! And I believe with more than 6000 other Christians that: “Greater things are yet to come; Greater things are still to be done in this city.” Our God is mighty to save (btw that song got a new meaning 4 me @ the Conference) and He is truly able to move the mountains of oppression, poverty, pain, indifference, religiosity, murder, rape, sexual immorality, unfaithfulness to covenants, HIV/AIDS, TB, corruption, lack of integrity, and lovelessness that oppresses SA and even the so-called ‘church’. Jesus conquered the grave. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. We must stop looking @ our circumstances or our ‘giants’ and we must stand up and say with Joshua & Caleb and say “Let us go up at once, and possess the land; for we are well able to overcome it!” (Num. 13:30)
Wednesday night was a page His-Story. As Ashley and Christa’s (fruitcake’s) stories changed the lives of thousands a new new chapter in His-Story is being written as their lives change thousands more wherever they are at. My prayer echoes that of one of Chris Tomlin’s songs: “Let what we do in here, fill the streets out there.” Let what we experienced @ Passion not remain there, but let it stir a passion in our hearts that will remain there until it ignites other people’s passion for God and our passion becomes a fire that cannot be stopped or quenched by anything the enemy launches against us.
“Lord give us clean hands and pure hearts.
Let us not lift up our souls to another.
O, God let us be a generation that seeks,
that seeks Your face, O God of Jacob.”
and “Lord, walking in the way of your truth, let your Name and renown be the desire of our souls.”
I am glad that I brought two of my fellow youth leaders and disciples along to the Conference it really impacted them. And I left with a heart to be a ‘fruitcake Christa’ or ‘passionate Louie’ in my generation–fulfilling the ministry of reconciliation and changing ’screw-ups’ into ‘fruitcakes’ (being a former-screw-up turned fruitcake) through God’s love and grace. It also showed me a bit more how it is God’s kindness shining through our lives that leads men to repentance, not our intellectual debates about religion. (Yes, there is a time and place for them, but most people don’t get saved by debates alone).
Louie’s discussion from 2Cor. 5 about going crazy for God, but also being in our right minds or ’sober’ for other people’s sake was also helpful.
Last, but not least: Ola, Mexico! God is going to move over your city, like you’ve never seen before.
Your servant in Christ,
Shalom
August 16th, 2008 at 2:07 AM
Hey family of Christ! Please join 268 generation South Africa on Facebook and lets keep the love of God alive there as well!
August 16th, 2008 at 3:04 AM
wow, wednesday was so amazing!!!!!!what struck me the most was the realisation of how God loves us so much.he seeks us all so lovingly and so gently.a year ago i never would hav thought that i’d be lifting my hands to praise God.i was doing so many bad things and i felt like God wouldn’t love a person like me.i didn’t wana even talk about God and everytime someone spoke about God i’d get a lump in my throat, but what did God do? He brought me to Cape Town where i’d meet some good friends who would drag me to church, who would invite me to church functions.i always looked at them and thought wow. i wish God could also come into my life but i always felt that i had js dun too many bad things and that he wouldn’t even look in my direction but nw i realise that he was there all the time.he never left me, he kept holdinng my hand gently leading me to him, gently directing my life to him and i am js so struck by his grace, his mercy his unconditional love.wow.I WAS AT THE PASSION TOUR. who would have thought.who would have thought i would be.PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!
August 16th, 2008 at 3:24 AM
Guess what!
Its Saturday and I still haven’t recovered from Wednesday. I still feel God’s grace all around.
I thought I had understood grace, but after Wednesday I think I’m getting it.
I can’t mess this up even if I wanted to God loves me too much.
And that in itself is my strength.
God’s grace is so overwhelming that serving him comes naturally.
Thanx passion for trusting in Him.
Great testimony!
- To live is Christ and to die is gain.
* I think now that part makes more sense.
GO MEXICO!
August 16th, 2008 at 4:41 AM
Just wanted to pop in again to say hi to all our Cape Town friends!!
I REALLY WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR DOING AN AWESOME JOB!!

Good luck for the next leg starting in Mexico. We are praying for you all the way. My wristband is still on and i’m keeping this thing on for as long as possible!!!
Passion, I think (listening the podcasts), has succeeded in their mission thus far : Creating a wave over the world!! People are stading up for God, and glorifies His name in every city and every university and college around the world!!!!
Thank you God for making this tour possible and thank you for us being alive so we can Glorify Your name on this beautiful earth that you created!!! Amen.

August 16th, 2008 at 5:12 AM
Passion Cape Town was absolutely amazing. To think that 6000+ youths packed the Velodrome to celebrate our Gracious God is truly awe inspiring. I had goose bumps throughout the entire night. even now, i am still buzzing from wednesday night! Thank you to Louis for his inspiring talk, Chris Tomlin and the rest of the Passion team – you guys were awesome. thanks for sharing Ashley’s story with us – it inspires us to shine our light and let the whole world see the glory and grace of God.
this whole experience has restored my faith in humanity and I’m more positive than ever about our country and the future.

August 16th, 2008 at 5:59 AM
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EVENING!! God simply blew my mind just when I needed it most and once again fueled the fire of Passion for Jesus Christ in my heart, as I believe HE did for 6000+ other sons and daughters of God on Wednesday evening!!
It was such a special message of GRACE and LOVE that penetrated so deep into ones heart and left us with no other choice but to go and share it with the world!! May our lives be used solely for the purpose of making the name of JESUS CHRIST FAMOUS!!
Thank you Louie, Matt, Chris and the Passion team for being instruments in God’s Hands and for being available so that God can move mightily as He is busy doing! We can see Jesus mirrored in you guys, we will pray for you the whole way up to the end of the third leg and beyond.
Mexico…be expectant…we are on our knees.
God Bless.

Hey everyone :-) :-) :-) Its amazing that we can keep in contact across the world. Praise the Lord His name be made great among all the nations!
Hab2:14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
May the earth indeed be filled with the KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD.
I pray that we human beings right across the globe may come to know the Lord Jesus. The riches of his glory and His amazing love in your heart. May you experience His loving touch daily. May you know Him and fall deeper in love with Him each day.
I posted my story at the ‘Longest letter ever written” by “J” ( Sorry I did not know how a blog works :-)) If anyone wants to read it. You will also be encouraged to pray for “J”. :-)
Thank you Passion Team for what you are doing for the entire world!!! Thank you for bringing us together to make God’s name great!!!
What touched my heart was when Louie told us about being exited for God. I am really exited, really, really.Now I understand that part of the Bible and myself better! And I understand that I should be in my right mind too. :-)
I also loved the way the Bible in the Asley’s story traveled around the flat that is sooooo coool we all should read our Bible so much to know God’s word.
Mexico We are praying for you!!!!!
God bless all my friends and brothers and sisters right accross the world. May His Joy fill your hearts, always.
Praise be to God. He is amazing!!!!
August 16th, 2008 at 8:39 AM
What an awesome God we serve!! What an honor it was to be among my 6000+ brothers and sisters.
Thank you Father for unending grace. Thank you Jesus for your eternal sacrifice of love. Thank you Holy Spirit for your fellowship.
Louie, thank you for carring the torch and encouraging us to do the same. May God grant you all your hearts desires.
Capetonians, let’s all go for Gods heart for our nation and the rest of the world.
God bless you
Love y’all
August 16th, 2008 at 8:39 AM
Ps 16:2 I have said to the Lord, ” You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
Ps63:1 O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek you; My soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Ps 27:8 My heart says of you, ‘Seek His face!’ Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Ps 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart LEAPS for JOY and I will give thanks to HIm in SONG!!!
August 16th, 2008 at 8:48 AM
Greater things are yet to come
Greater things are still to be done in this city.
I had insane visions of our city going up in flames as the light and love and PASSION that God has for Capetonians and people across this land ignites with us as the kindling. We have been blessed – we know the glory and splendour of our Lord – and so we must go on to bless this city in a ‘Ministry of Reconciliation’.
I’m keen to be a pyro for Christ – who’s with me?
August 16th, 2008 at 9:02 AM
What an amazingly blessed evening to worship the God of our city with the people of this city!!!!
Left with a renewed fire in our hearst with the knowing that our God is Mighty to save!!
Thank you for your vision and we pray that God will continuely use you as empty vessels to spread His Kingdom.
Lots of Love
August 16th, 2008 at 11:00 AM
On the night.
I enter through swarms of people
Having witnessed the purchase of blankets
I still somehow feel alone.
I make my way to the centre
In search for those I want to share with me in this moment
But as I walk I see no one
Not one face that would transport this experience.
I sit quietly observing the throngs of people
I know why their here
My reason might have been the same
If I haven’t fallen and feel the stain of shame.
Looking around, some familiar faces
But not the ones that would kill this feeling of loneliness.
And than it begins.
Surrounded by people
Surrounded by my own convictions
Seeing myself once again
Realizing again that what I believe is true
Realizing that loving Jesus isn’t something phoney.
And no matter where I am
Who I’m with
The presence of God never leaves me.
He asks us to pray
And I have no one to pray with
So I stand completely still
Than a hand reaches for me
Saying, would you pray with me.
And I disappear as Jesus` love envelopes me.
I entered and there was family.
I searched and He found me.
I felt alone and He reminded me
Of the universality there is
When you live for Him.
PS: Thanx for reminding me that when I`m among believers I`m never alone.
August 16th, 2008 at 11:38 AM
many thanks!
wow! i’m so happy that Passion Cape Town was a success..
i hope no one grows tired of serving God!
still praying for your good health pastor giglio and team :)

August 16th, 2008 at 4:12 PM
Wow it was awesome!!
It was a miracle that Marli (my friend) and I got tickets. We were supposed to go with our school (D.F Malan High) as part of a interschool thing. But our teacher could not get tickets in time and we were realy hart-broken!! We were sad, but we decided that if it was God’s will that we should be there He would provide tickets. So we beleved and prayed.
At 4 o’clock on Wednesday Marli called me and said that she had tickets!! It was so amazing I could not stop praising God. It just shows us that if we beleve anything is possible with God!! I
t was one of the most amazing nights of my life. The thought that 6000+ poeple would gather on a Wednesday night for Christ is also mind boggling it just shows you, you are not alone in this world.
I just want to thank the whole Passion team for the amazing night. And I want to say that Mexico City is in our prayers! And the bracelets is not comming off until the 4th of October!! Not even if I have to be in detention every friday
Love
Anneke
and everyone from D.F. Malan High School.
August 16th, 2008 at 4:23 PM
I have long thought about leaving a message on the blog. I mean, does anyone ever read it? It seems such an overwhelming lot. Well, actually i’ve tried to avoid the whole Christian thing for quite a while. I even joke about it with my new friends. Few things in life justify the use of the word hate, but yeah, I hated the whole holy huddle bunch, speaking Christianese like it’s real (fruitcakes, as Ashley called it). The only difference is, well, I used to be 1 of them. Until I died and no-one noticed.
So these Christian events you know, I dont do them ’cause the way I saw it, it’s just a hype. Well, my friend got me a ticket for Passion Cape Town 2weeks ago and I’ve been concocting every imaginable justifiable reason to bail. Only, I ended up going.
I ‘accidentally’ got lost from the group I got a lift with, just so i can be a stranger in the crowd, not the has-been backslider who gets concerned glances from people who suddenly care.
The thing started with awesome graphics, you who’ve been knows. There was this clip of thorns with a flower blooming and then wasting away. All i could think was: jip, that’s me. Only, the way I understand it is that once you’ve known the truth and turns away there no longer remains a sacrifice for you, I read it in Hebrews a long time ago I think. So, as far as I’m concerned I’ve gone beyond redemption. The thing that got me thinking is a song you guys sang, I’ve never heard it before but it’s been stuck in my head ever since- “o no, You never let go”- or something like that. Only, I did.
Then Louie spoke. I havent heard a charismatic youth pastor speak like that before. They always seem so untouchable and phony “glory halleluja, lifes great, go change the world”. Thanx for keeping it real.
Anyway, I went deaf as a nut, hard as a rock, but walked out intrigued. Maybe I never knew Jesus after all. The whole grace thing is baffling me.
So you guys, it’s not about you, I get that, but thanks for coming. You guys got me thinking that there might be hope for me after all. My spiritual desert got a little rain.
O, and if thoughts toward God are considered prayers- Mexico City, I’m praying for you.
August 16th, 2008 at 4:52 PM
A Little Rain…
Thanks for being real. Keep searching for the Truth and He will show you. You’re in my thoughts (prayers),

You guys are doing an awesome job. I love listening to your podcasts! They reiterate how God is doing a mighty work across the whole globe. I pray that you all keep in good health and are able to catch some solid sleep. I live in a remote village 7 hours from Sydney and yet such blogs and podcasts as you guys have produced make me feel like I’m very much part of the the awesome global body of Christ.
I pray for the continent of Africa and a revelation of their part in the BIG BIG story that is God’s!
Love to all you guys…. Thank God for Passionate ‘Atlantians’!

What a privelege to be at the velodrome Wed night! Blown away by the love of God. Understood for the first time what GRACE really is. Am praying for Mexico City and for God to open the way up before you. Thank you Louie and Shelley and everyone at Passion for your dedication to God and reaching out to the youth of this world, there has never been a greater need than now! I’m still wearing my band (4 Mexico City), but know that the person that cuts it off before I go into theatre this Thursday is going to hear all about what God has done in my life before they put me under. I can face anything in my future now that I’ve grasped the GRACE OF OUR WONDERFUL FATHER. God bless you guys always!

It’s now Sunday and half a week has passed since Passion Cape-Town.
This was by far the best experiance of my life. To see so many people praising God was AMAZING!!!!
I went in with reservations as I WAS what I would like to call a reserved worshipper. I went in with no idea of what was about to happen, just knowing it was going to be huge , and after the show started and the first song underway , I prayed to God to open my heart and let the Holy Spirit wash over me , and it did!! Not one second in the show I felt like I didn’t belong , infact…I felt like I was meant to be there all along. It was a life changing experiance!!!
After Wednesday night…I know that’s how I want to worship God!!! With everything I have in me!!!
Thank you Louie and everyone on the passion team. You changed my life and I am sure alot of lifes , directly or as a result. I spent most of Thursday/Friday explaining to everyone I know how AMAZING it was and how much I would like to take them all if you visit again , and I hope and pray you will visit again…
Just a thought….Next time….you better get Greenpoint stadium…cause I’m bringing ALOT of people to praise our gracefull God!
MEXICO CITY….JUST A WARNING>>>>>This will change your life!! BE PREPARED TO BRING IT!!!!!! We’re praying for you guys!

What an awesome nite! I travelled alone the whole day from Queenstown, the Eastern Cape on the 13 August to spend a month in the city, to survey employment & business opportunities here, unaware of the nite I was goin to experience from a request from my sister & brother in-law to join them. I was also one of those that often pushed aside opportunities to attend gatherings, especially christian gatherings as I am also what one would consider a “reserved worshipper”. I have had a rough year, it has come with plenty hurt & sadness. I am married to a wonderful women with a beautiful 8 year old son. I needed Grace, and I believe I am now on that road, where I believe that Grace does exist!….especially after Wed.nite 13 August 2008! God works in wonderful ways! I have a road to travel, but I know now that God is there every step of the way, He will never leave me! Thanx to the Passion team….you guys are fab!! Praise God! MEXICO CITY!!! ur in for a spiritual ride!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy & God Bless.

Louie this one is for you…
Your bow or ribbon is still alive.
Im a 22 year old girl whos been in a car accident aswell, drove into a tree, also in april, had bleeding on the brain. They contacted the organ doners and said i would not make it…
I am also in my final year of graduating, like Ashley, studying theology(believe it or not).
So all I want to say is THAT NOTHING IS TOO BIG FOR OUR GOD!!
August 17th, 2008 at 1:34 PM
To Louie & everyone at Passion!!
I cant thank you guys enough for all your effort in coming to Cape Town to impact us and our city…& man did you impact it! Louie your message on grace was profound, God just speaking to me on what his grace really is all about! Thank you! Also to worship God with 6000 others was absolutely mind blowing…our generation reaching out to God!! No doubt about it God heard us and all of heaven!!! The Band…..TOP CLASS!
But i must send out me biggest thanks to God & Ashley together!!! Louie & Passion i must tell you guys that through the reading of Ashley’s journal God touched me in a way i have yet to ever feel God’s love….i have not known of such a love ever in all my life, this kind of love is beyond anything i can put into words & incase you’re wondering if i had any love in my life, yes i had plenty! Our God is awsome & precious Ashley is with him forever!!!! God’s love in this story had me weeping for 3 days following! Guys God touched me so much….a guy like me doesn’t weep on any sensitive topic and God did something in me that was so out of my control….
I feel like we’re all in the same family, and indeed we all are and Ashley’s parents and Jocob must know we are praying for them, we love them and they must all know just how special they all are, including precious Ashley who is alive !! THere little precious girl is with Jesus and yes we all will be queing up to tell her just what an amazing person she is and how grateful we all are to her….for it is through her that i got a true picture of just how much God loves us and will by no means just allow Satan to take whoever he wants no matter how close he’s come to it! Our God rules and has defeated the grave forever!!! For us in Christ from here its only life forevermore….Go Ashley!
Through this conference in Cape Town God touched me in a way i have ever felt his love!!! Thank you so much!
Really from the bottom of my heart thank you all!!
Tony…..in beautiful CT South Africa
P.s I hope you’re going to make a DVD with Ashleys journal read out as in CT cause i will sure be sending it on to my friends…..Gods love hit me like a ton of bricks when Louie showed the empty pages following her final quote. Before Louie said it, in my heart i already knew…My heart sunk but it also rose as the real truth surfaced… but still trying to comprehend such love was way to much for me!! Wow….Gods love, its just goes on & is beyond anything i could possibly say or write………….Our God certainly reigns!!
Thanks again

August 18th, 2008 at 4:50 AM
Oh by the way is there any chance of a DVD of that night to be made??
August 18th, 2008 at 4:53 AM
THANK YOU PASSION TEAM FOR COMING TO SOUTH AFRICA ESPECIALLY MY BEAUTIFUL CITY CAPE TOWN!!! I know God has a special plan for my country especially for Cape Town. When I first heard the song…God is for this City…I sang it with all my might over Cape Town and was so happy that we could sing it in Cape Town when you came to visit. My prayer for all the meetings is that the desire for all that attends will be the desire of David’s heart…Ps 27…One thing I ask of the Lord this is what I seek that I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple…that they will say…one day in your House oh Lord is better than a thousand elsewhere….this is what I pray for my life and what I will pray for all who attend in Mexico and every other meeting.
Thank you once again
God Bless,
Esmé

So I’m still wearing my wristband (which sure enough looks like you’ve been in hospital) and have discovered a great way to start up a conversation with random people in my class…
It started yesterday when one of the guys looked at my wrist and asked: what happened? To which I spontaneously replied: “Well, I kinda had a lifesaving experience…” [Which Wednesday was for me] and then just so happened to intrigue the guy enough to ask more questions.
Think I’ll be having more fun with this! :)
Mexico, I’m praying for you too!
August 19th, 2008 at 10:29 AM
Well it looks like we have do not have what jhb has when it comes to leaving blogs!
Anyway, it is a week later but what an amazing night it was. I was so blessed, the worship was great!!!!
For 8years i thought i got grace but it was self effort all along, but wednesday night God opened up something through what was taught. I cried for almost an hour, when grace started getting me and i got it…
This requiers change!
Thank you passion and all those who helped and made this night possible, may God bless you in ways that make sense to you.
We will be praying for mexico city, and may God do abundantly, abvoe and far more then what we can ever dream or ask for.
Love and blessings

Hi everyone! Want to share a weird dream I had this morning. I’ll try to keep it short. This is the dream:
I was with family and friends and on the news there was a bulletin about a guy who robs and kils people with a knife. Everyone was a bit scared and worried, but didn’t think it would effect us. A day or two later, I was at some sort of office or centre and went outside to answer a phone call. After I finished the conversation, I went inside and infront of me was a guy with a knife. I gave him my cell and went inside and told the people I was with that someone stole my cell. When we looked outside, we saw that he was busy robbing and stabbing another person and realised it was the guy from the bulletin. So everyone went frantic to get out of the place and away from the guy. Eventually, he cornered me and other people I know. We was so afraid, but realised there was no need for fear and started praying in our spiritual language and proclaiming that God is almighty and will keep us save. Needless to say, the guy froze and we could sustain him and hand him over to the police.
I woke after the dream at about 4h30 am (SA time) and asked God what the dream meant, because it was so weird and freaky. I fell asleep, woke again and woke at 05h00 and asked God again why I had this dream and fell back 2 sleep. At 05h30 I finally woke up and had 2 get ready for work when the following came 2 me:
I realised that the guy represented the enemy, and that he will become more fierce and out for our blood (spirit) and to steal, kill and destroy, but we as God’s children must not fear, because Jesus overcame the plans of the enemy at the cross and God will always protects us.
We must hold un to our faith and believe and trust in the resurrecting power of God. JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD!!!
August 20th, 2008 at 2:05 AM
Wow!
What an awsome evening….
Jesus is Alive…. Great things are still to come in this city!
We are praying for you Mexico City!
August 20th, 2008 at 2:55 AM
To turn your eyes to the only one who saves, to look to Him alone and go crazy for Him alone (of course being in your right mind at the right time…) – to be reminded of the fact that all else fades in comparison, all problems, fears, our humaness fades when we look into the eyes of our Saviour!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hearts to serve!
Jesus open our eyes to show us all what life is about, what really matters and what doesn’t…
August 20th, 2008 at 4:19 AM
Its SO FANTASTICAL!glad to see Cape Town got to experience what I had the priviledge to experience in JoBurg!Was awesome to cry out with fellow students IN DESPERATION FOR CHRIST’S REKNOWN!our country is gonna make it!
August 20th, 2008 at 4:29 AM

You only got the instructions, now its time to take on the MISSION!I’m praying for all gazillion of you guys!One day we’ll all be reunited and singing with the angels!But until then, lets make JESUS FAMOUS!
Get ready for ACTION Mexico City!
August 20th, 2008 at 5:29 AM
The passion team was awesome!!! God is doing amazing things in this city/country. I dont have enough words to explain the feeling after the show…but would still like to share something.
I was one of the medics working at Passions CT. It was awesome to be there. Shortly before Louie started with his message we where called to help with someone that ‘fainted’. My partner and I ran to go help. When we arrived to where he was, close to the entrance, he was not breathing. This was interesting. The simptoms he had was similar to a epileptic after having a convultion(fit), but we were sure that this was not the case.
We then took him to the medical room where we could assess him beter. We also had a pastor come. There were a group of 4/5 people standing outside the door that started to pray(They did not know the person at all.).
The pastor came in and began to pray. We agreed with him and prayed in tongues. He started to regain conciousness, but was still very confused and could not talk. He only took out his cellphone and showed us to call friends and family.
We still had to be professional and we put up a IV(drip). He uttered a few words that we did not understand or make out. My partner then took him to hospital and as soon as they left the premises he slowly calmed down and regained total conciousness by the time they got him to hospital.
I dont want share too much… I just think it was awsome what God did. We believe that that night was a life changing experience for him, as for many others. This was the most interesting medical condition that was NOT medical at all.
Thank you goes to Louie and the band. It was awesome. Cant wait to see the results of God work.
JESUS LIVES!!!!!

Last time i was in the Velodrome was for Jamiroqui, it was full, but this night, the night Louis and the Passion Team pulled in was bigger, better and way more mind blowing. Shot my bru (louis) for bringing Gods message of grace to my town. God bless for Mexico city!
August 20th, 2008 at 3:29 PM
What an awsome evening…thanks Louis for a great message, mind blowing to many. I worked at a Gospel bookshop, therefore watching many of your teachings, and there is always something mind blowing… Indescribable has most def. been the best, changing many lives, and opening peoples hearts to the message Jesus has given you.
Cape Town: Cape Town rocked!!!
enjoy it mexico and open up your hearts!!!!!
August 20th, 2008 at 4:09 PM
still on a high from the cape town stop. i have never in my life seen 6000 of my peers gathered for the fame and renown of our Lord and savior.
passion was and remains to be such a blessing…and the wrist band reminds me everyday of what could be…and what will one day be for eternity.
mexico city, cape town is praying for you daily and we know that he is going to just rain down on you that evening.
Thanks Louie, Chris, Matt, and the Chris Tomlin Band, and all who worked so tirelessly putting the tour together, and the volunteers from that night. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed…He is storing up treasures for you that will last an eternity.
All for his Glory
All for his Fame
All for his Renown.

I have this Awesome testimony that I would like to share with the world that happened during the show. But to rewind a bit first I want to add some background to the testimony.
I am preparing for a huge multistage trail running race of 200 km over a period of 5 days that happens in October. In the Passion week I was starting to peak for the race. Hitting some serious milages per week. On Wednesday we played a casual hockey game against some school children. While fighting over the ball, one of the children missed the ball and connected her hockey stick with my ancle bone. Right on the bone; full on! Pain rushed through my whole body and my ancle started to swell. In the back of my mind I knew I wasnt going to train for the next few weeks. I started to think that I wont be able to compete any more. But at te same time I fought these thoughts with Gods word.
As I went through the day, I could feel the pain was just getting worst and worst. At some stage I started to think that I need to see a doctor for in case it was broken. I couldnt use my foot and I couldnt even moved my toes. The pain was so severe that it went right up my leg into my calve.
I decided to go to Passion the Wed night and believed that the onointing will be so great that my foot will be healed. Well I didnt receive instant healing that night, but when I woke up the next morning I could walk again. The swelling has gone down and on Friday I started to train again without any pain at all.
Im now training like the incident never happened before. I have done over 90 k’s in the past 3 days without any problem.
All I can say is: GOD IS THE ULIMATE HEALER!!!
And so is God the healer of Cape Town. He is the True “Cape Doctor”.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:08 AM
“HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!”
Mexico City, God loves you and soon thousands more people in your city will know the truth and God will set you free.
I’m praying for you and trusting God for thousands of souls to come to know the hope that He has called them to.. My armband is stuck on my PC & will be there till the 4 Oct with you in mind.
Nothing can separate you from the love of Christ!
August 21st, 2008 at 2:26 PM
Great stuff you guy’s good to see the way in which God is using you Loui ,we’re praying for Mexico City
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:03 AM
Wow, I get all choked up when reading the Blog. God is awesome, I had goose bumps from the moment I stepped into the Veledrom. How encouraging it is to see so many people on fire for God. The Passion team you guys were amazing, may God bless you and your families as you rest before the next tour.
Mexico we are praying for you! God will be touching many hearts.
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:25 AM
Awesome pictures capturing the moments in Cape Town’s awesome gathering!
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:23 AM
Passion was last week and I am still buzzzzing!
I was a volunteer at the event and was blessed to be able to see most of the event up close. Wow, 6000 students CRAZY about Jesus!
There is hope for our world and you keep the fire burning, Loui and team – thanks for coming and keeping Cape Town alight with your Passion
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:38 AM
Oh dear! I was hoping this would get to Mr Guglio, but looking at the tons of posts already, (which is awesome) I doubt you’ll get around to it, but I’ll address it to you regardless!
I am from Mossel Bay in South Africa, and myself and a few of my friends attended the awesome passions concert in Cape Town. On the 5 hour drive home, we discussed the dinamic message God gave you to share with us… We spoke about how incredible it was that God had given Ashly the amazing gift of creative writing, and her witty way of sincerety. But besides all that, we mentioned that you said that there was no bow at the end of your story. I beg to differ! :-)
There is a bow. Her name is FRUITCAKE! This young womans faith and passion in God is a true testimony of what any christian should be. She understands the concept of showing God’s love, His grace and evangelism in walking the walk and proclaiming the talk… So to us, she is the bow to your story!
Love,
The Mossel Bay Crew!!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:21 AM

TO A Little rain:
Just want to tell you I did browse through the blog. And I read your piece last night ( can’t find it tonight :-) )
May God bless and guide you, May you come to know His voice. May He lead you in the paths and ways He has planned for you and May your desire be to do His will. AND May you come to know His amazing love EF3:19 for you. May you dwell in His presence always Ps 16 for there is fulness of Joy.
May you come to know Him more and more and fall deeper and deeper in love with Him as you spend more time with Him.
PS139:16
God bless you.
God loves you.
Keep well.
Regards.
August 25th, 2008 at 7:30 AM
To A.C:
Thanx. I havent checked the blog and funny that when I finally decided to there’s a message for me :) .
Things have been weird in a good way this last week. I cannot say that I’ve gotten it yet, but even as I read your message there’s this tug in my heart. Usually I just reject it and go on with life before guilt can settle in but this is the weird thing: I dont really know what to do with it. It’s as if something in me recognizes truth more than accepting confusion (if it makes sense?).
And I think your message is true so yeah, I’ll be finding those scriptures tonight and thinking about that.
Thanks again.
August 25th, 2008 at 8:14 AM
Mexico, may you all be blessed with the mighty GRACE of our Lovable God.
You are all in our prayers.
Blessings …. :-)

September 30th, 2008 at 6:21 AM
Hi Mexico City!
I am also one of those who took on Louie’s challenge to wear the wristband of the evening show down here in Cape Town. It’s been a while now, but it has sure been worth every moment! People have been asking about it and many a time I have given prayer and thanks to God for reaching out to you this coming weekend (3-4 Okt).
May you be blessed so greatly that your blessing will flow over to the people in need of God’s grace in your city!
September 30th, 2008 at 6:58 AM
Yay – the wristband no longer actually says anything – it’s all rubbed off, but it’s still there on my arm reminding me to pray for Mexico City! It’s almost time and I don’t have a moments doubt that it’s going to be amazing, because we serve an amazing, big, mighty, marvellous, majestic God in whom greater things most certainly are to come!!!

We are praying for you Mexico! The Lord has done amasing this in Cape Town through this blessed conference, and He will do even greater things there!
I still wear my wristband and pray for you often. I’ll wear it till the end of your Passion conference – like many here. It is a common question – what is that band for – and it leads to only more people knowing of the conference, and more children of Christ praying for you!
May the Lord bless you from His great heart with an awesome life changing experience!

The memory of that fantastic evening has not faded yet from Cape Town. Our God remains as awesome as ever! Thanks PASSION for the challenge to live full-on for his glory. His grace is AMAZING! Praise God!
It may have been a while, but it just means we’ve had more time to pray for our brothers and sisters in Mexico… Mexico City, prepare to be blessed!

Hi there all of you! we have been praying for Mexico!!!! Just took off my band today! and passing it on to you guys :)
It was hectic – you would bump into random people wherever, and you would see them wearing this white band… and you would know! :)
very exciting, how God is linking His people up! He is gathering His Army together!
Wohooo! Welcome Mexico City.
PS, Chris Tomlin’s song: God of this city, is being played and sung at almost every gathering of any sort. It’s a real uniting type of song so yay! Thanx for being obedient to the Spirit’s leading!
