Definitely the largest crowd that I have ever and may ever speak to. I was honored to be asked to do this and represent our team. This was sent to me by a fellow missionary, friend and prayer partner serving in another part of the world:

I just wanted to write you a quick note and let you know that I have been thinking about you the last few days and asking for you. I was just about to go to sleep last night when I felt that I needed to get up and ask for you once again. It was between 2 and 3am here so I guess that would be between 8 and 9 there. I wasn't sure when it was that you would be speaking, but I hope and trust that everything went as He would have it.

I wrote him back to tell him that that was the exact time I was speaking and I was so humbled to hear how God would choose to call on people like him to take part in lifting me up during this exciting but nerve-wracking time.
