Jesus Christ - what a Superstar!

Last week was Piet's birthday. One of our favourite things to do is go to the theatre and see live shows. I took Piet out for the night on Tuesday last week to see Jesus Christ Superstar live at the casino about 15 from where we stay. It was a really great rock musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and very accurate to Scriptures. Of course it is a modern twist of the story of Jesus, but very nicely put together.
After the show, we decided to get something hot to drink and walk around a cute book store. It reminded me so much of Borders or Barnes and Noble, just a much smaller scale. I found Piet engaged in conversation with two gentlemen. They were involved in ministry in one of the local townships and were asking about our ministry as well. We shared stories and encouraged one another. We talked for a while and they wanted to pray for us. After they prayed for us, they handed Piet a handful of money! We couldn’t believe it we were in shock.
The whole way home we were just laughing and thanking God. We just kept thinking that this is exactly what happens when you pray and ask the Lord to provide for you. Praise God, the new car is coming!
