My Airwaves Fix
Filed Under My Life | 7 Comments
Today after
having an awesome time of prayer with Pastor Matt and Julie we grabbed some lunch and then ran by the WalMart of England. The store is called Asda. So, we went by the Asda Supercenter so I could stock up on my favorite chewing gum. Airwaves! I first bought some about seven years ago. I liked it so much I called Wrigleys in the states to see if I could get some - no luck with that. Everytime we come I try and stock up and then ration it out to make it last. It’s like a Hall’s cough drop in gum form. Well, as you can see from the picture a WalMart is a WalMart no matter where in the world it is. While I was engaged in some serious business the team was working on a community service project this morning. After taking a break and having some lunch at a local “Chippy” they completed their project then it was back to the host homes for a rest and packing.
Tonight we are meeting for dinner and then watching a movie on North Korean refugees along with spending some time in prayer. Our flight leaves at 11:10AM tomorrow morning. Tomorrow I’ll post about tonights activities as well as our trip back. Oh, here’s a pic of the happy shopper!

Curry Slurp
Filed Under My Life | 4 Comments
First of all here is a couple of pics of the teams trip to “Nawaab”. It is an Indian restaurant that had incredible food. As you may know the most famous Indian dish is curry. There are many different types of 
curry. Here is my partly eaten plate of food. The first thing I ate was so hot that everything after that tasted hot! Wow, was it good.
Here is a picture of one of our illustrious team members Justin doing what I guess we could call the “sideways curry slurp”. Way to cool off the tongue Justin!
This morning after prayer with the bible school students the team went to Victory Outreach, a home for men who had been addicted to drugs. These guys are on fire for God! They joined together in a nearby park and spent about 2 hours worshipping God together, praying and encouraging one another with the Word and testimonies. After this we all met together back at the church and headed over to spend the afternoon in Bolton ministering to North Korean refugees. After worshipping together Susan ministered the Word on forgiveness to these precious people who have gone through imprisonment, torture, etc. in a effort to escape the oppresive rule of North Korea. One young man gave a testimony of how he was saved in prison in Ch
ina through the drawing an American who was imprisoned in China made for him. All of our hearts were touched by these incredible people. We ended with a time of prayer. They then had us stay for a meal. If you can imagine about 20 people crowded in to a small apartment. They laid newspaper out on the floor and began to bring in plate after plate of traditional Korean food. We all sat on the floor with our chopsticks and had an incredible time. It is something I know none of the team will forget. Their generosity and hospitality were overwhelming. For security reasons we could not take any pictures of these precious North Korean believers.
This evening we participated in the once a month Holy Ghost “Inspire” service at the church. Susan led us in an incredible time of Spirit led prayer. Some things were confirmed in Matt and Julie and we definitely joined together in prayer and know some big things are in store!
Tomorrow the team will be working around the church while I teach in the Bible School. The afternoon will be some time off for a little shopping and then tomorrow night will be more street ministry. Look for another update tomorrow.
