Every year during Pentecost weekend there is an enormous revival festival here in Holland for anyone who wants to praise God and meet other Christians from all over the country.
It's a three day festival and about ten thousand people attended this year.
We had never been before, but because my parents were attending and camping close by the festival we decided to head on over and check it out on Pentecost Sunday.
I had never seen anything like it and was overwhelmed by the enormity of it all.
So many Christians from so many different denominations, all together for one reason:
to praise our God.

We sat in the grass in front of the big tent and listened to the thousands of people singing songs of worship, and sang with them.
Micha crawled around and charmed the people around us.
I didn't feel uncomfortable like I usually do when surrounded by so many people, I felt safe.
It didn't feel as though I was surrounded by strangers but by my brothers and sisters.
All so different but with one beautiful thing in common.
It was such a beautiful and powerful day.
Next year we'll definitely be attending again.
Have you ever experienced anything like this?
Love, Maria
That's amazing!
