Love Oxford

Today was love Oxford, Arrived at south park at about 8:30, to set up, soundcheck and stuff for an 11am start. It was forecast rain right over the time of the service, so everyone was constantly praying! At about half 9 or so it started raining, and went for ages, really heavy. Which was bad! The skies were covered in grey clouds it looked aweful, the field was getting drenched, water dripping from off the stage, the wind picks up! Not good. From about 10:30 a few people start arriving in the rain, but its surely going to put a lot of people off. More and more people come, at 10:45 just as bigger crowds of people arrive, it stops raining. And as if that wasn’t good enough… The sun even came out! It was a beautiful sight.

More and more people gather, a few thousand, not sure how many! Here’s a picture…

So the rain held off for all of the morning service, it was amazing. I sung in the choir, which was great fun! Later Heidi Baker spoke, unfortunately a touch of rain came back at lunch, but after that it was fab My face even felt like it was glowing later like i had caught lots of sun!!
