TENT EVENT - DAY 1

Well, following the very lat e hour that we eventually left the tent on Tuesday after setting up, Wednesday arrived with….RAIN!!

The great thing is that we are totally confident that God knows what He is doing even if we find it a little odd! The childrens event (COUNTDOWN) went well in the morning and, despite the weather, they got 45 kids which was ACE!

As we took over the tent for our youth events in the afternoon and evening, it all seemed a little underprepared and yet, previous experience shows that this is always the case and in the end all is good. We set out the tent as we required it and then waited to see who would come.

We had hired two football freestylers who are used to performing at Champions League finals etc . Both are Christians and perform some amazing tricks with footballs…bikes and ladders!!! They were both really nice guys and the young people who came were totally amazed at what they can do…a great crowd puller.

Then we had the inflatable Bungee Run which was fun fun fun! We ran a competiton to see who would be the overall best Bungee type person. This went down really well. The evening was interspersed with X-Stream dancers doing their thing and lots of fun with the pool table, Play Stations and the Cafe.

God is good!!! All the time!!! We view these events as ways to meet local young people and let them be ‘exposed’ to Christians rather than major ‘preaching’ opportunites. We believe that the realtionships we cna build now will lead to opportunities to talk about our faith in Jesus.

We are really looking forward to today and I will try to post some pics over the next few days.

COME ON!!

A sobering tale….

Follow the link below. I read this following a link for the 24-7 prayer website; www.24-7prayer.com

It makes you realise how easy it is to be a christian in the UK in reality. We do not really know what it is to suffer for Christ….yet!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss!…

…Keep right on to the end of the road…..Blues are back in the promised land of the Premier league.

Today Luton; Tomorrow the Champions league final…well, I suppose I can dream!

Me and Beth were there on Sat as we beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0….but, as I discussed with the old bloke who sat next to me, I don’t know how we did it cos’ we were poor. But, we did and following Derby losing 2-0 at Crystal Palace, we are promoted.

Up the Blues! and ….well…..down with the Villa!!

COME ON
