FIRE IN OUR HEARTS<br />

COMMUNICATE!<br />

Sunday Even<strong>in</strong>g At Sp<strong>in</strong>ney (SEAS)<br />

A <strong>Jesus</strong> Revolution even<strong>in</strong>g of music, friendship,<br />

faith, life and worship with the <strong>Jesus</strong> Praise Band<br />

SEAS soon employed UV lamps, strobes and ‘<strong>in</strong>telligent’<br />

light<strong>in</strong>g. The London congregation’s version <strong>in</strong>volved a<br />

brother switch<strong>in</strong>g col<strong>our</strong>ed light bulbs on and off — fast!<br />

That summer 100,000 festival-goers converged on Glastonbury<br />

p<strong>our</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to the campsites, marquees and field-markets.<br />

The Glastonbury Festival was a showcase for the many ways<br />

folk <strong>in</strong> the 90s were search<strong>in</strong>g for spiritual reality. Drugs,<br />

occult, New Age, eastern religion, music, they were all there.<br />

Centuries old druidism rubbed shoulders with high-tech attractions<br />

like virtual reality; as did rich yuppies with hippie<br />

travellers.<br />

One of <strong>our</strong> teams was <strong>in</strong> the thick of it all seek<strong>in</strong>g to br<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the <strong>Jesus</strong> experience, as <strong>our</strong> Streetpaper reported:<br />

‘I guess you Christians are go<strong>in</strong>g to tell me I need to be filled<br />

with someth<strong>in</strong>g like y<strong>our</strong> Holy Spirit because I have a gap <strong>in</strong> my<br />

life.’<br />

Sam and Fabian were down by the ma<strong>in</strong> stage talk<strong>in</strong>g to a<br />

young man when his friend burst <strong>in</strong> with these words. They<br />

liked his comment and asked if they could pray for him. The<br />

Spirit came upon him and he fell over right <strong>in</strong> the middle of the<br />

crowd. When he got up he was so excited he started to hassle<br />

his friends to get prayer too! 128<br />
