English towns and German cities!
Thank you so much for all the prayer support at this time as we seek to break into Mainland Europe whilst continuing to see fruit for the Gospel in the UK. Last Thursday I was with my close friend Francis Dognon in Paris to meet with the leadership committee of the Baptist Federation of France of which he is a member. We discussed working together next year for their two week national evangelistic campaign. We hope to hold events in Paris, Lille and Normandy. Closer to home we are working alongside churches in Salisbury and New Milton over the next two weeks to reach their communities with the love of God, please pray for us.
On July 16th the Mainstage leaves Dover for Dunkirk ahead of big events planned in Hamburg and Stuttgart. We are thrilled to be going and believing for a great harvest in these two huge cities. We are working alongside Werner Nachtigal and No Limit, a German evangelistic ministry based in Berlin. It is the long awaited first visit to Mainland Europe with the Mainstage and it feels like an historic moment for me and the team. Please pray for the budget and particularly that the interpretation of what I say gets across to the people. Despite the favour and opportunities, I feel nervous on days as we commit such a high level of resource to places where we are totally unknown. Please join with us in prayer as we seek to be faithful to the call of God on our lives to declare and demonstrate this great message of reconciliation and new life in Jesus.
