UK Trip October 13-28, 2006

After months of praying and preparing, we’re just about to leave! On October 13, we are privileged to be part of a team of 14 reconcilers who are flying to North Ireland. You are acquainted with the “Troubles” that have wrecked havoc on this beautiful country. Someone once described Belfast as the “hate capital of Europe.”

While there, we will conduct we will conduct a residency week, dealing with Catholic/Protestant, Jewish/Gentile and Generational reconciliation issues. These gatherings instead of lectures, and stiff classes, are relaxed, memorable times of telling story, listening, laughing, praying (and some times weeping), and humbling our way deeper into God’s heart. We’ll be meeting with Catholics, Jews, Protestants, and others.

After Ireland, we will travel to Portsdown, England (near Portsmith), and Lee on Solent where we will hold a one day gathering on generations. From there we go to Wales and meet reconcilers and praying servants who have spent their lives promoting peace.

From Wales, we will go on to Edinburgh, Scotland, where we will have mtgs. with the Edinburgh Prayer Watch, the Scottish Parliamentary Prayer group, and we will hold a day gathering of leaders on leadership at the Salvation Army Hall in downtown Edinburgh.

When you hear of us going to Great Britain you might think “Those lucky dogs! They’ll be up to their eyeballs in beauty, and they’ll be glorified tourists.” Great Britain does beauty amazingly, but you can see by the itinerary this is a working trip. We will be staying in fairly sparse hostels. We are asking God to give us His heart, to give us life transforming words and to touch all that we encounter with His power.

We’d love you to enlist as part of our prayer team. Would you email us back if you’d be willing to put a picture of the team (following page), on your refrigerator and pray for us at least once a day?
