MARK&ANNAs WEDDING

Jon&Ros in Sweden

If theres one thing we learnt from this trip its never to fly with Ryan air! Just about everything went wrong with them, severe delays, bagage weight problems, instrument charges...ontop of this was an hour and a half bus journey a 3 hour train journey and another hour and a half bus journey to Kramfos. However, we got there in the end and made some really great friends...

Canadian rapper MANAFEST, his wife (graphic designer) Melanie...http://youtube.com/watch?v=W3lc6elnn6k

....and their good friends, breakdancers, Jeff and Charity

...and NGM band Thundershock.

My gig went really well with the tent being possibly the most packed it had been all festival. I also met the coolest sound guy ever, who happened to have a spare hat with him for this photo. Must get asked alot:)


Thanks for your prayers guys!

Did Dewi get the job...???


Yes he did!


Well done mate!

Lets keep praying God's got something special in the bag for David too!!
C'mon Jesus! Bring it on soon we pray!

Prayer Night

Myself, Ros, Dewi, Ian and Phil prayed for our Community stretching out, sharing the love we've found and seeing people come to know Jesus! We declared that our job descriptions don't tell the whole story, and we asked for God to open our eyes to see what he wants from us. Now is the time! Dewi had an image of a peaceful, beautiful place in this town...a still lake reflecting Gods' love. Trusting each other and trusting God, being at peace together. On my i-pod there was a Craig armstrong track playing that played at random a second time and we basked in the peacefulness of the music and the presence of God that we felt. Phil prayed for offensive peace, that is present even in the storm. We also spent some time praying over people in the community and their job situations.

The end of an Era...

I thought I'd blog this as I'm sure we've all got a fond Delirious memory somewhere, particuarly if you remember the Kamo days! The band have announced that come 2009 they will be finishing the band, www.delirious.co.uk .
So this is an unashamed Big up to the boys for all the songs they gave us. Sanctified, History Maker, I Could Sing of Your Love, Deeper, My Glorious, I Will Follow, Its OK, I'm not Ashamed... cos I've found Jaysus! Heres a clip below if you fancy taking a trip down memory lane...

HTB Weekend

....just thought we'd share some photos of our time away with the HTB guys last weekend. Ros and I spoke about Worship, lead worship and had fun getting to know everyone, hanging out and partying in this massive manor house in the country.

Nate & Marrisa

Thanks so much to those who came over on Monday to hang out and hear from Nate and Marisa... we had a truly wonderful, inspiring, funny time together, hearing their stories and sharing some of ours, praying together, and even receiving some pretty spot-on prophetic input from both of them.

Annas' new Job!

Congratulations to Anna on her new Job!!! We're so excited for you guys and so excited about the future!!

...also big up to JO, even before completing her first year as a teacher she has been asked to take on the role of acting head of drama next year.

Wow! Gods' positioning us for some exciting stuff!

HANNAH & RICHARDS WEDDING

Dear friends,
We'd be grateful for your prayers today... I've just got back from a trip to A&E with Emma. For the past two days she's been having pains in her side, in the same place she had them back in December. They've been worse this morning, but not like they were at the end of last year. The A&E docs say that we need to get her June cyst-follow-up appointment pulled forwards. Emma's in bed now. We're still praying for Jesus to heal her.

The Moravian Daily Prayer for 29th April last year reads, "Holy Spirit, teach us how to pray. Help us to take time to reflect quietly amidst a bustling world. Give us the peace that Jesus promised. Help us to come to know you so that we may fulfill our role in your eternal purpose, in the name of Jesus. Amen."
Amen to that. Jesus, teach us how to pray.

A few things;
//the Parliament week of prayer, Tuesday 6th - Friday 9th May
If you're free at all next week, please consider popping into London and joining in with the prayer walking and other events that 24-7prayer are hosting around Westminster. The prayer walking (around the Parliament/Whitehall area) kicks off at 10.30am on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and at 4pm on Friday. If you come along, I can probably get you in on some of the prayer stuff happening inside Parliament afterwards... which is always fun. :o) All of the details are on this website; http://www.christiansinparliament.co.uk

//community meals and gatherings
There wasn't many of us at Rosi & Jon's on Sunday, but we had a great time - it was good to have Anna & Tim with us again, and Pat & Dave Bilbs. Rosi cooked up some amazing food, and talked a bit about learning to "trust Jesus" more. We ate and we prayed and we broke bread together, and then I told a few stories from my recent trip to the States, visiting 24-7 Boiler Room communities... they inspired me a lot!

Better is One Day in Your Courts...

Felt really great to be coming to the end of a working day knowing we would be having special time with our heavenly Father this evening! We filled our room with candles, and it was great to hear the back door open and Jo come to join us in prayer. We set no agenda other than to pray for an hour, much like an hour slot in a prayer room, and God was imedeatly present from the moment we started. At the end of our prayer time Ros described it as being better than a week away in the countryside. God was able to do more with us in that hour than in a whole holiday of rest. Jo answered simply by repeating the scripture...'better is one day in Your courts, than a thousand elsewhere'.

Thou Shalt Always...

Sue&Drew hosted another great Bible study at their place on Sunday. We looked at the 10 commandments and got into discussions about law, New and Old Testament, and structures for society. We then naturally chatted more about ways in which this relates to our community and our hunger to see people come to know God, in whatever shape, place or form. This prompted us to begin praying for our friends!
Sweet.
