The momentum continues!



We walked into a ripe harvest field in Germany and left nearly 600 people being followed up by the churches in the cities that the Summer 2 Go programme visited in 10 days, 6 of those days with the Mainstage programme as the centrepiece. Things have continued to be incredibly fruitful back here in the UK. Jono, Josh and Emma led the team to the Isle of Wight and continued to build with our friends in Newport while the rest of us were in Germany. Last week I was in Sidcup, SE London for the awesome Lark in the Park Festival that I've been a part of for 13 years. Several people came to Christ while I was there and the event has been as successful as ever with many thousands on site in different venues for all ages over a two week period. This week it has all moved on to Ramsgate in Kent and I'm going up there on Saturday to be a part of the main events over the weekend. It was moving to be back in the Bandwagon after two years and reconnect with the old trailers that we imported from Canada 8 years ago, seems like yesterday! The Bandwagon now serves to facilitate Lark In The Park each year as a reflection of our partnership with the Sidcup and Ramsgate churches.

In three weeks time Jono leads a team to Bridgend in Wales and I leave again for Mainland Europe with the Mainstage to run a huge festival in the centre of Amsterdam’s Dam Square and the red light district. In both locations we will be working with the poor and marginalised. In Bridgend the team will be on one of the estates and in Amsterdam we will be in partnership with several organisations including YWAM, Youth Alive and No Limit. Please continue to stand with us in prayer as I know so many of you have done these last few weeks. We believe for breakthroughs in Wales and Holland as we present the Gospel in different ways. My friend Sarah Rowlinson prophesied over me a few weeks ago that we would rescue girls from brothels across Europe, maybe this will be the start of it in Amsterdam?

On a practical note, our finances remain very tight with the bills increasing so dramatically with our work now growing in size and impact. Please stand with us as we believe God to meet our needs from him limitless supply.
