Sunday morning service was great. Gabe brought an awesome message. I could feel people's hope rising and their dreams coming to the surface. Lots of people were at church today, it was bustling. I was so sad that I didn't get to say goodbye to a whole bunch of people as I was engaged in some deep conversations/prayer etc.
I think the highlight of the service was hearing from church members about some testimonies they had from the week.
It was so great. This week, a few people accepted Christ, and many were healed. A lot of people came today that have never been to church before or not in a long time as well. One lady shared about her encounter with me and Nathan on the streets by the local convenience store. We prayed for her knee and it got completely healed. She had a cane that day. She didn't have a cane this morning. She read a psalm reflecting on how God heals our infirmities. She was so joyful cuz she could chase her kids around and get about way easier. Cool stories by others too. I was so blessed.
After church we had Sunday lunch which is big time! Roast beef, yorkshire pudding, parsnips, cheesy cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, fruit, and more. Then some insane desserts. It was quite grand.
Then we went out for a walk in a beautiful wooded area. here's a pic of me there...
We went back to the house and had High Tea, sorta. We had it minus the sandwiches. But I had tea and crumpets for the first time. So cool. Crumpets are good, kinda like a spongey english muffin. I also had scones with jam from France and Clotted cream. I've decided clotted cream fulfills the role of it's name as it has clotted my arteries, heart, digestive track and more. I feel weird.
Here's a pic of my spread...
After that, we had a leaders meeting with the Buttershaw Baptist Church leadership team. It was great. We did lots of Q&A and then prayed and imparted over them. Afterward, lots more Q&A took place and some good fun. We were up with Stu & Liz till 12:30 am which is way past their bedtime. hee hee..
It was a very full day. But was rich as well.
I find God to be so good. I'm so glad I know Him. I'm so glad I am His and He is mine. I love this family of believers out here in Buttershaw/Bradford, UK. They are amazing, full of love, full of Him. I see ripples beginning to form a revival culture soon in this city. I can't wait to see the harvest and the fruit.
Tomorrow we go on an outing to Fountain's Abbey and old monastery. In the evening I get to facilitate a soaking/encounter time for the church. I think it'll be a super rich experience for everyone to just rest in His goodness and His love. Some of it will be guided and some will just be restful...
I'm excited. I've never facilitated one before, but my heart is really into this....
Love you all. One more day, and then the journey home.
