The last 3 and a half weeks have been great. During the two weeks of the Olympics we were working with a church in Coventry. This was a very cool church It was one of the big old kind of churches it was first built in 1108. So it was quite something to be in this church everyday and just looking at the grandness of the church! Whilst the Olympics where going on the church was running a Cafè inside to try and get people to come inside and we could chat and talk about Jesus. Also the cafè had a Fair-trade focus and so where also where making people aware of the issues of slavery in the world, with sex slavery, child labor and also child soldiers. So there was always something to talk about with everyone. There was about 4 different teams that went out from our YWAM base. The teams varied in size from 5-8 team members. One of the teams was doing a sports olympics in a park they had partnered with one of the local churches to do this and everyday there where some many kids and families that came it was great. I was actually supposed to be apart of this team (because after all I am a sporty kind of fellow) but my very first day in England I broke my foot. I know I mentioned it in my last post that I had hurt it but in fact I broke it so I was on crutches for about 2 weeks there. So I was not able to participate in any sports during my time in England. But it was all ok I know God had me right where He wanted me at the cafè. I met some great people there and had a lot of good talks with some men that came it. All in all it was a great 2 weeks of ministry.
Also during my time in the U.K. I was able to get to do a few fun things as well. I had the privilege to go to a soccer game in Coventry and watch woman's Great Britain vs Canada play with Rachel and Emily Adams who you may remember joined me in the U.K. We dressed up and had took flags and I think we were very much AAs (Annoying Americans). But all the GB fans where so quiet somebody had to cheer all the time.
When the ministry time was over Rachel Emily and I went for a quick 4 day FAST tour of England and Scotland. We went to see oxford, Windsor castle, London, the white cliffs of Dover then up to Edinburgh and then back down to Nuneaton where we caught our flight the next morning back to the good ol’ USofA!! It was a lot of fun to get to see all these cool places and also to get to do it with very fun people.
The last 4 months has been great! I have got to see God work in so many ways! Grown deeper in my relationship with Him. I have had the chance to get to know great people and finish a YWAM secondary school where I have learned so much about being a long term missionary. I have been so blessed. Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and also financial support. I was very blessed that God took care of the finances for this I never had to worry. So thank you all so very very much.
In a week or so ill try and up date this again and let you know what and how I’m doing back home.
