Hello all! We are STILL alive and well in England :)
What's happened so far:
We have finished the weekend kickoff of the event, and now the "main" part of the conference is now well underway. It has nothing been short of incredible while still being fun for the team.
Practically speaking, what we have been doing is being available to pray and chat with people after some main sessions (either a service or a concert), which happens about 2-3 times a day, and then we are also making ourselves available from time to time to assist with the same thing at a prayer tent nearby on the grounds, which is offering the same thing literally all day. It's difficult to highlight anything in particular since the Lord has been working in people's lives more or less any sort of way you can think. We have seen salvations, healing, deliverance, encouragement, and the list can probably go on.... so the Lord is at work here in the UK and it has only been a couple of days!
Aside from being back in the English countryside and experiencing lots of rain, and lots more rain, a highlight was listening to a couple of local bands perform in the pavilion, including a guy named Chip Kendall who constantly talked about Jesus while he was performing, and then after his set gave a call for salvation that we saw a significant response to.
We'll stay in touch and post a few photos for your enjoyment soon!
I'm so thrilled that you guys get to serve in such an awesome, eternally significant way! I have your prayer card up on my desk and glance at it often at which point God often presses it into my heart to pray for y'all (a little reminder of Cowtown for you).
ReplyDeletePlease know that you are being lifted up in prayer throughout the church, I'm sure (I can say you certainly are from this desk)!
Praying also, pastor Joel, that you are able to have all the God time you need. And guys, that you are refreshed every moment because you are doing this work through the Holy Spirit.
We love y'all and miss you (and I SO wish I was there with you)!
Love HUGS Blessings Prayers

And YAY for prayers already answered: a safe trip there and already seeing the Lord's Spirit at work!
Can't wait to hear more.
LORD, you establish peace for us;
ReplyDeleteall that we have accomplished you have done for us.
