A place I have never wanted to visit or thought i would have much interest in. It is incredible. I have loved cities in my life, but this one has something that is so attractive.
There are so many people here, and the hussle and bussle is not that attractive, but the architecture, the language (yes I know it is still english, but the accent!), the people, the fact that everything is here! Music, art, history, and theatre. Of course I have only really see the buildings that advertise all of that... haha.. i haven't actually been in any yet. But how cool is it that it is all here. London is an epicenter, so even say for the whole world but definitely for all of europe.
We have had some amazing times already here on the streets of London and with the churches. Since we got here, we have done the following...
- the first four and half days we read through the entire Bible out loud in major parts of our borough and also around were we live. (like at the Queens palace, west minster Abby, Parliament, and Trafalgar Square...all these sight seeing things are in our borough... crazy!)
- We also did things like worship, intercession and helping our host church with all their Easter activities.
- second week we did things like free prayer stations in Trafalgar square, joining with a church to do free coffee and conversation in the red light district, prayer walks all around the borough, meetings with pastors and churches, worships, intercession, doing homeless ministry with our host church, and so much more!
(we have not been not busy!)
God has blown my mind with how faithful He is to show up in people's lives when they are ready and asking for it. We have endured and had so many different looks, and reactions from people on the street, but my team has been so great in persevering through and really searching and being ready for the people God has to touch that day.
We have seen so many people receive truth through the gospel or personal testimonies, we have prayed with several people, and we have see two people healed! My team is so ready to just seek people out and share with them and there willingness is always an opening for God to show up and rock people's world!
We have 6 more weeks here in London. We are ready to keep going strong, although a few of us are battling a bit of sickness. Prayers for that are welcome!
Here are some pictures, just for fun! Enjoy!
you are blessed to be a blessing.
