Christmas Magic on the Mainstage!
Last night was amazing! We partnered with a school and a church in Portsmouth to hold a Christmas Carol Concert with 500 children on-stage and 1500 in the crowd. Christmas is such an awesome opportunity to declare Jesus the Light of the World at a time when people are already sensitive to the message even in the midst of the commercial enterprise that surrounds the celebration of God’s intervention into human history.
As I look back on 2009, what a year we have had! We have visited many different towns and cities across the UK and in 5 other European nations. In all we have seen around 1,000 people make a response to the Gospel in the events we have been a part of as Miracle Street.
Next year is shaping up much quicker than previous years it seems with invitations and also many of our own plans already in place for 2010 in this country. We are going to focus strongly on working to establish a ‘Bridgehead’ for the Gospel in Normandy during June and July next summer alongside our close friends Francis and Diane Dognon and the church they lead, La Source in Lisieux, Normandy. We hope to successfully gain permission to hold a large Mainstage Festival on the beach in Normandy that will signal the start of our push across the region. In the New Year we will launch our appeal to help underwrite the costs of our work on the European Mainland with the amazing story of the PLUTO Pipeline being the central focus.
As I sign off the Blog for 2009 it is with a heartfelt Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones from all of us at Miracle Street. May you know the love of God in a powerful way over this special time.
