An open field just beyond the local church is where the stage is set. Big speakers are connected to precious electricity, but when that fails there's a generator ready to be turned on to keep the music and sound system as loud as possible. Several choirs go to the front to sing their two songs each. The choirs are one of the main attractions, people just stop what they're doing to see how they sing and how good their choreography is. Just as the singing was brought to an end, a group of some 5 guys were invited to come and sing at last minute and introduced as the "New Revelation" group. They popped in a CD (all the other choirs had done their own music and singing) and invited some 4 to 5 youth to join them with some back-dancing. At the invitation some 25 youth, boys and girls, went up and joined in the dancing, following the main guy's lead they all moved in unison like they'd practiced. What a show! The guys were invited to come the following day.

A good-sized road goes right past so people are stopping to see what's going on. The speaker/evangelist is good at reminding the sound system guys to tone things down when he wants to pray. The evangelist is not out done by the choirs and does a good job of putting on his own show with dancing and stomping on stage. The people love him.
As soon as the conference is done, (around 7 pm) the screen for the films and all the cords and projector are brought out and set up for a show at night.
That ends day #1. Tomorrow we get to do it all over again.
