No trailer - this IS the main feature



As many people are apt to say, there is no dress rehearsal for life - this is it. So using a film anology instead, there is no trailer for life, this is the main feature. Hence me and my crossed arms ! I am getting excited as we start to look towards going to the Philippines and get to do the real stuff that Jesus did and is commanding us to do : to heal the sick, to comfort those who mourn, to baptise and make disciples and make God known.

The latest update

Well, sorry it has been so long since the last update. After our long weekend, we started the week on Tuesday with Connie Taylor, a very enthusiastic speaker on Evangelism. Some good stuff even it was delivered at high speed ! I am reading Making Jesus Lord: Laying down your rights by Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth With A Mission. We are used to having own things and the individual rights to many things but while they are all from God, we need to learn to lay them down to focus on Him and trust Him and then He rewards us. Tonight we are having ministry time - this may be time for God to deal with my British reserve. This weekend I am on work duty which means washing up and doing the toilets - all part of servanthood. It also marks the half way point of our lecture phase - six weeks to go before we are off to the Philippine for two months. Goodbye for now.

Into the fourth week

This week sees Jose and Rosanna Liste originally from Argentina speaking on blessings, curses and deliverance. Tonight we played some games with the children which included a celidh and pass-the-parcel to help everyone to focus on praying for other nations.
