Excerpt from update, “The final day of the festival went so well. Despite the forecast of showers and wind sufficient to significantly affect the evening program, the day was dry throughout, the wind calmer than all week, and the only drops we felt came once everyone had gone home and the site was being cleared. These reminders of God’s provision are an indication of how deeply the Lord has been moving in Teesside this week through the work of the festival outreach. Again, thousands of locals came to the park throughout the day, welcomed by hundreds of volunteers from the local united Church, some who served passionately at several events throughout the week. So many locals who attended over the weekend expressed how grateful they are that a free event would be put on in Teesside. For many, to attend a festival or live music event would be financially impossible. The Gospel was shared clearly from stages across the site in such creative ways. The BMX team shared from the ramps and the families team used a circus display to communicate God’s love. In the youth zone live music and DJ sets framed the Gospel and many of our artists from main stage took the opportunity to share testimonies that had a powerful impact. In many instances, it was members of our GNE team who spoke. Andrew’s message in the evening highlighted on the fact that we are not promised tomorrow, telling the story of the plane crash that he and his family survived. Across the weekend 27,000 people attended the festival and 1,685 responded to the Gospel throughout the festival week and weekend.”
