We made it to Harpenden! Our time here has been great so far, we are finally getting adjusted to the time difference and our sleeping arrangements (tents!). We had an amazing flight out of Kona. During our flight some of our teammates were able to pray for every flight attendant (they lined up asking for it!). One of the attendant’s shoulder was completely healed! They were so blessed by our teams compassion and love that they began to empty their refrigerators and give us loads of free food! It was an amazing way to start outreach!
Since arriving in the UK, we have had many different ministry opportunities in the town (Harpenden), and in London as well. Yesterday Rick and a few others preached the Gospel to a man from Bangladesh and he was very receptive. He said he had heard about Jesus from other believers recently...he's Muslim and almost ready to receive the Lord! His name is Javid, pray for him to receive Jesus as his Savior! Also, we have been frequenting a local coffee shop, Costa, and now know most of the names of all their workers, they are mostly from Eastern Europe. The manager remembered Rick’s name today and it is obvious that the joy of the Lord is impacting them and softening their hearts to Jesus!! Pray for Indre, Jane, ZsuZsa, Tiago and Andra to receive Jesus as their Savior as well! Katie complimented a lady on her shoes, which sparked a conversation for Katie to share with her what we are doing here and was able to minister to her. She was asking Katie many questions about the meetings we will be having over the next two weeks and wants to come!
Yesterday another large group of us went to London and the Lord was setting up divine appointments everywhere we went! We were able to spend time and encourage a young couple in one of the parks. We also got to preach the gospel to two young men who ended up showing us around for our last two hours there. We are finding out more and more that when remain obedient to the Spirit’s leading, opportunities get placed in our lap without having to strive after evangelizing to every single person we see. All we have to do is show up and He does the rest!
Tonight is our kick-off to the Circuit Rider school. We are looking forward to the next two weeks we get to spend here in Harpenden. Our time is going to be jammed pack with lectures and local outreaches, but we have so much excitement for what the Lord is going to do in and through our team. We believe the Lord is going to release a fresh baptism of boldness for our team to carry into Wales with us. We look forward to sharing with you everything the Lord does over these next couple of months! Please be prayer for our team to remained unified and for the Lord’s will to be accomplished in and through us during our time in Harpenden.
