This last month has seen a dramatic increase in our summer schedule. We are now confirmed to be running events in 25 towns throughout the summer with the Mainstage and Mobilestage mostly under the banner of HOPE08, still more could come in. Part of this is a major collaboration with Urban Saints to run the Re:Act series of events. I have recently done a live interview on Premier Radio to talk about HOPE08 and our partnership with it nationally and have been asked to be the guest on their two hour breakfast show on May 31st to focus primarily on Miracle Street’s vision for the UK and the embryonic plans to take the Mainstage across Europe next summer. The special fund we have launched for urgent works on both our stages stands at just over £9,000 with a target of £20,000 by the end of the month, please pray for us. Emma has just led the team for a School Aid tour of 25 schools on Merseyside where approximately 3,000 children went through the African Classroom Experience. We were joined by Radio Merseyside, and in an interview with them, some students shared how the African classroom helped them to appreciate the opportunities they have.
Please pray for us as we get ready for the unprecedented opportunities we have over the next few months to declare the Gospel to many thousands of people across the UK. Steve Lee
