Just like the previous trip last November we walked into an amazing ‘open-Heaven’ environment of faith and expectation in the church but also in the many people we met on the streets.  In several meetings in the church and in the local park, we saw upwards of 100 people respond to Jesus, a lot of them having had no previous connection with the church. On the final evening I spoke in one of the congregations that squeezes 75 people into a tiny venue in the heart of the inner city close to Real Madrid's Bernabau Stadium. It was incredible to see over 40 at the front of the meeting responding to Jesus. There were many tears and a great sense of breakthrough among the broken as we prayed for them all. Part of my heart is still there with them.

Over the last week or so I have visited Cornwall to meet with Don Double and John Townley who leads The Free Methodists down there. It was a great opportunity to test the waters and pursue this vision that I felt God put of my heart to help and support the churches in that region with the resources and skills that we have at our disposal to present the message of Jesus. We confirmed two weekends this summer, one in July and one in August to work with the church in St Austell. I’m really excited about the opportunity. On Tuesday last week another 40 or so young people responded to the Gospel at the Oakwood Youth Challenge in Wokingham, it’s been quite a week!!

As we approach the summer events I am very aware that we are down to wire again financially and we need additional provision of around £5,000 throughout May to meet our targets. So many have already responded to the mini crisis we have faced this last couple of months with bills amounting to several thousand pounds on our stages and tractor unit. Could I ask you to consider whether you can give to the work of Miracle Street at this time to enable us to go to the places we need be rather than just those locations who can afford our overheads. It will make a massive difference!

Thanks again to everyone who so faithfully walks this journey with us.
