The School Aid project on the Isle of Wight was a great success. We saw several thousand children over the course of the 2 weeks and the inaugural School Aid Live event with the Miracle Street outdoor event equipment went well. We are now in consultation with World Vision UK to create three more projects in different parts of the UK over the next year. Last Wednesday was the annual Mainstage Light Party in Jono’s home church in Fair Oak. Jono did a brilliant job overseeing and hosting the event, which drew crowds in excess of 2,000 impacting the whole area for the Gospel. The Bishop of Southampton and the mayor of Eastleigh both took part. Jono and I are now planning the upcoming Christmas events from the Mobilestage due to take place in New Milton and Southampton during December. The long awaited Winter Update has been delayed but will be out before the end of the month. This will be an extended publication with comprehensive reports from the summer events and a look forward towards 2008 and the Hope08 project. We are looking at all kinds of ways in which we can respond next year as we commit all our resources and the team to declaring and demonstrating this wonderful Good News of the Kingdom. Thanks for your prayers and commitment to the Miracle Street cause! Steve Lee
