Our vision to irreversibly commit our giant Mainstage to
Mainland Europe is well under
way. We have major evangelistic festivals now planned in several
of the principle cities of Europe including Brussels, Berlin,
Hamburg and Stuttgart with many more coming online.
Our plan is to hold
monthly three day festivals in large towns and
cities throughout the continent indefinitely from June this year.
Key partnerships are emerging with the Baptist Union of France, the
Pentecostal Fellowship of Europe based in Brussels and NoLimit
in Germany. Several potential linkages
are also emerging into Southern and Eastern Europe.
Pipe Line Under The Ocean!
Shortly after the
Normandy Landings in June 1944 the Allies were faced with the logistical challenge of getting millions of gallons of fuel to the armies of liberation
With the ports destroyed and tankers falling foul of attacks in the English Channel,
Pipe Line Under The Ocean or PLUTO was the audacious solution. A breathtaking response to a seemingly impossible problem. And so it was that a single 100 mile long flexible pipeline was laid on the sea bed
in one night stretching from Shanklin on the Isle of Wight to the Cherbourg Peninsula in Normandy. As the liberators went further into
Mainland Europe the pipeline was extended overland.
The two ships that laid the PLUTO pipeline, HMS Latimer and HMS Ridley were named after two Bishops who burnt at the stake for the Gospel in Oxford in 1555. As they died, Latimer said "Today by God's grace we will light a torch in
England that will never be extinguished"
That quotation was inscribed on two plaques and welded to the
hulls of both ships. We are going to put a similar plaque on the
Mainstage trailer!
This story is very close to Steve's heart as we raise the
huge sums of money we will need as the Mainstage
blazes a trail across Europe.
