The finishing touch of the musical celebration, with 2000 Christians in Munich, was beautiful. After the final, joyful applause, many people lingered in the aisles, talking and praying with each other. The leader of the pastor’s circle, Helmut Nicklas, came directly up the stairs to where I was sitting. He could see that I was highly pregnant but that didn’t phase him at all. He had something to say! He was so excited and blurted out, “We must do this again next year and have two shows.” Das müssen wir nächstes Jahr machen, und dann gleich zweimal”

I was so surprised that I didn’t know what to say. So many months of preparation had gone into this, and I couldn’t imagine, doing it again the next year! I heard later, that he had a series of interviews with the newspapers, and that everyone was blown away by the event.
