It was just brought to our attention that there was a typo in who the EEA AIP runners up were. To correct that, just wanted to let you know that Steven (16) and his brother Jeremy (15) tied for the position of Second runner up and Third place was taken by their sister Stephanie (12)

Sorry about the mistake! God bless you guys for putting all that hard work and effort into your witnessing, you truly deserved those top ranking winning positions. WLY!

So much happened during the four days of Eurock that each of us probably was able to only participate in a 1000th of the excitement experienced by all. But in this short entry we’ll walk down memory lane of the past several days of Eurock to relate at least a small portion of it for any readers who were not able to attend.

I dare say something that happened a fair bit during this event you can get from the following photograph… When on your way somewhere you spot a couple of lovely ladies (or guys) coming your way who either send a warm smile your direction with a cheerful “hi� and even occasionally a loving hug which brightens your day considerably. What a wonderful Family we’ve got.

Another one is the “damsel in distress in the pouring rain� scenario which I got to personally experience to where you’re scuttling along in a fretful stampede get to the concert hall when a handsome gentleman appears out of seemingly nowhere offering to escort you under his umbrella or ingeniously hand held “blanket cover from the rain contraption�. The simple joys of life…ah! When it rained, it sure could pour.


Another thing you could be sure of after pulling yourself out of bed in the morning and groping out into your dining area (everyone ate at their own house) was to see a faithful and beautiful someone setting your breakfast table, putting out a nice hot pot of coffee for you (if you were over 16), sweeping your floor and making sure you were well taken care of at each and every meal time. To our caretakers – you were awesome, thank you!!





Inspiration was the next thing all enjoyed each morning soon after a bite to eat for breakfast. Every day different people led us in a rousing time of praising the Lord through song in the huge tent that the staff guys put up for us.













































Some pretty hilarious skits were also acted out each morning that always brought a good point home.















Each morning and afternoon, classes were held for each age group; Junior Teens, Senior Teens, YA’s and Staff. The topics that were covered were prayerfully picked for each group and were extremely power packed and well presented. God bless all those who took the time to prepare them and share them with us.






























After the afternoon class it was get-out time. Now, I’ve gotta hand it to the football organizers. There were 7 football teams running in a championship throughout the duration of Eurock and the grand prize and second prize winners received their medals on the last day. Taking into consideration that it rained nearly every day during get-out time, those football players were pretty die-hard and earned their wins.














Besides the championship, there were also two big games played; both featuring those living in West Europe vs. East Europe. If you're wondering who won, I can leave you with the hint of: “Where the sun doth rise*, there the winning team lies�




(*a little bird told me: The sun rises in the East)

Football wasn’t the only fun being had during get-out time at Eurock, there was also a Latin Salsa rhythm moving in the YA house where Jesse led a large and lively group in Salsa dancing.

An awesome miracle of the Lord’s supply was that Abner came down from Denmark with a wonderful amount of provisioning for all to partake of. You saw people walking out of there with plenty of clothing and more.

Eurock 2006 T-shirts were made available along with the Eurock DVD 2005. If you haven’t bought one yet, you still have the chance!! What I thought was very creative and appealing is what Salt of the Earth were selling aside from their album and it wasn't a t-shirt. Way to go with advertising! Ladies, if you ever see Salt of the Earth perform live, make sure to pick up one of their CD's.

Every single evening was chock-full of spirit-filled music. Check out the daily log of concert evenings for more on them!

After the concerts the techies would all get together for prayer and discussing the following days' plan. They were amazingly faithful day in and day out – through the concerts, through get-outs, everything. They were certainly amongst the Eurock HEROES!
















Speaking of heroes there were definitely some that got some well deserved heroes' acclaim at Eurock – the 2006 AIP winners!! In the EEA the top prize winner was Olivia (17) in Ukraine! The Grand Winners Golden trophy was passed on to her from last years EEA AIP winner Joe.
In three and a half months Olivia got:

- 17 people to come to weekly 12 FS classes (the minimum of two classes per person)
- Actively participated in 26 COL/Bible classes
- 16 Activated subscriptions
- Made 153 follow up visits
- Personal witnessed 148 times with song
- Won 1180 souls
- Got out 261 Activated mags and 73 tools

Tying for the Second runners up position were the brothers Jeremy (15) and Steven (16) in Romania! And thrid runner up was their sister Stephanie (12). For more info on the stats and competitors in this year's AIP go to: EEA STATS or WE STATS.


In Western Europe the top prize winner was Katrina (14) in Spain, first runner up was Daniel (16) in Italy and second runner up was Anna (17) in England.
















God bless each and every one of the AIP participants, you sure changed a part of the world for the better and sent the devil screaming this summer!

SALT OF EARTH

There are not enough words to describe the awesomeness of Salt of Earth's performance. It was on the last concert night and shook the concert hall with immense impact! The zeal and fervor with which Justin Spirit sang was so intense, it sent us all reeling. Steven and Timmy did some fiery backups to “New Generation!� and rocked, moshing on stage along with some crowd surfing.
The feeling of letting your body move with the music, the drum and guitar vibrations rippling through you, and singing with Justin “I choose to stand, I choose to fight, I know there’ll be obstacles, I’ll lay down my life...� Guys, you were absolutely amazing – we were totally one with you in spirit, letting the Lord possess us, as He did you. You really channeled the Spirit: white, hot and pure. Thanks for coming all the way from the States for us!





















































20:00

HAVEN

Also flew in from the U.S and what a treat it was to hear her sing her songs live. She rocked! Some guys in the audience wore their "I love Haven" t-shirts and 5 other stud muffins each got a letter of HAVEN written out on their chests to mosh in the front row, bare chested. What a lovely sight that was.
























21:00

LANI, LORI AND ANG

Played a soft set of songs they’d personally written or which the Lord had given to them in prophecy. It was a short break for the moshers necks, and a time to cuddle up to someone to listen to the serene tunes of Lani’s flute and hear their heartcries to the Lord and others through their songs.
























21:20

TRANSCENDENCY

Straight from Italy, Transcendency got the crowd moving. They were wild and heavy with unique thrash style.




































22:00

CREATURE

To finish off the night we got to hear Creature play again. For photos, check out Concert night 3

19:00

CREATURE

The evening started off with the treat of Creature performing who travelled all the way from Mexico. They were definetely the favorite of many and their familiar songs rang out loud, clear and powerfully as we all soaked in the freedom of spirit that came with each of their songs.



































20:00

FREE

Free gave us an amazing hour of passionate, heart searching songs sung full of emotion that brought tears to our faces, screams against the devil and shouts of praise to the Lord. They were awesome and as always filled us with a high in the spirit poured straight from Heaven.







































21:00

HOLE TRUTH

The band Hole Truth travelled from the far reaches of Croatia for this event to give us the TRUTH via music. Along with their headbanging tunes they also did a couple heavy messaged rap songs written and performed by the Italian brothers; Tim and Mike.




























21:30

MIKE

After having Mike rap for us last year at Eurock 2005, many were waiting with abated breath to see him up on stage again this year. His beats got us all groovin' and "gettin' down wit it".
The addition of three goregeous young ladies on backups got the crowd hooting and whistling as they dazzled the audience with their lovely voices and moves.






























21:45

JASMINE

Jasmine gave us a tantalizing show as her natural stage performance took over the audience. She sang a cute pop/hip hop style song about asking the Lord everything. Very cute indeed.



22:00

LOVING JESUS

Loving Jesus was absolutetly fantastic. We closed our eyes and let our spirits soar as the soft music played and sung by David French, Vas, Haven and Steve Buckle lifted us out of this earthly realm into that of the 5th dimension.























.

19:00

METANOYA

Played fantastic and inspired renditions of both old Family songs from as far back as Esther David to their own new compositions making the crowd go wild.






















































20:00

PAUL AND FRANCIS

Paul Heart, Francis & David (Francis’s son) performed several of Paul’s songs such as Live Wire and Beautiful Moment which, though not your traditional hard rock, had the whole crowd riveted. Francis performed a couple of his numbers as well.
Don’t turn the Lights Out Baby by Paul received an encore from the sound tech team who sang the chorus accapella once the song had finished, soon joined by the entire crowd.





























21:00

ETHEREAL

Gave us a very original performance as their white cloaked bodies appeared through the thick stage fog to reveal their mystical presence. Their rhythmic beats whipped up a frenzy of excitement in the audience who swayed and bounced and up and down with emotion to the music.














































22:00

DEO

Let it RIP with songs of REVOLUTION and pretty awesome passionate FIRE!!

20:00

SPIRIT TREE

Drum beats kicked in as “Spirit Tree� began the night with their awesome and very spirit filled music. As they let God flow through their bodies and fingers letting the message flow with their music the crowd went from head banging to jumping, dancing and more.













ALIVE

Next was Alive, a band from Romania who also let it rip with the white hot sword of the Word coming through the lyrics and music of their songs as the crowd continued to be enthralled by the Lord’s spirit coming through.



PLAN OF ATTACK

POA had the “last word� on stage that night and they were powerful! Their trip to Europe for this occasion certainly was worth the impact of their performance enabling us to soar high in the spirit and let go to trip on God’s spirit.







During the entire concert the journalism team scoured the area interviewing & shooting pictures of the bands playing and audience in the heat of the moment.
Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming “On the Spot� documentary on EuRoCk 2006 which will be getting produced in the future!
