As we all know, I hope, the Olympic flame
is passing round the UK at the moment on a tour prior to the opening ceremony
in July.
The team I am leading at the moment
happened to be in Bolton when the flame was coming through. Since this DTS
(Discipleship Training School) is a UK focused one due to this being the Olympic
year, we thought it would be really cool to go and see the flame and pray for
the place and the Olympics at the same time. So we headed down to Bolton town
centre an hour or so before the flame was due to pass through the town centre
and spent time praying and speaking out scripture to bless the people. It was a
really big party atmosphere, and it was really amazing to be a presence of God
in that place.
It was one of those ‘once-in-a-lifetime’
situations, I am probably never going to see the flame again like this, so it
was really amazing to be able to join in the celebration, but also to be able
to pray for it as well as I know prayer makes such a difference.
