England Day Eight....


Good fun today. This morning we went to the city center of Bradford just across from the massive town hall and joined a group of local churches who have started to do healing on the streets. Great group of people. I enjoyed interacting with them a bunch and praying for several people. Saw some notable improvement for some and some healing here and there. Also some great breakthrough for one guy that really got him quite loopy in the Holy Spirit. It was fun. Here's a pic of the signpost for healing.
I really really enjoyed this time. I found it to be quite fun and for some reason it gave me a sense of authority or "feeling official" being out there. It made it easier to approach people and invite them to come receive prayer.

Afterward we were treated to some amazing Persian food by a friend who was a gold medal kickboxer and world champion from Iran. He moved to the UK and got saved on his second day in the country and is involved with one of the churches we're working with. Super awesome guy. Here's a pic of us at his deli.


During the afternoon we did workshops at the church. A good sized group of people from the area showed up for our two workshops. We did a prophetic art workshop and a treasure hunting workshop. I led the treasure hunting workshop. We had close to 30 participants and broke up into about 6 teams. Some of the teams came back with some great testimonies of speaking into people's lives and prophesying over them and such.
My team and I had a bit of a rough go this time around. We probably approached 10 or 11 people, more than half of which really didn't want us to pray for them at all, they didn't even want us to talk to them. A couple of them were a bit nicer about it. It was my first really tough treasure hunt. Eventually I stopped looking for people with clues and just started approaching anyone. ha ha ha. Eventually we went to a shop where a Hindi lady worked and got to briefly pray for her shop and her cousin in S. Africa who has a brain tumor.

Us boys had the night off so we watched the England v. Scotland Rugby game at Stuart's house. It was fun, what a crazy game. I also ate WAY too much chocolate tonight. I feel disgusting...

Tomorrow we got morning service at church, Sunday lunch, High Tea, and a leaders meeting with the Buttershaw Baptist leadership team. Looking forward to it...
