It has been a busy
year so far with the team I am helping to lead here at Youth With A Mission
(YWAM) in Harpenden. We have Just got back from spending a week in an area of
London called Bow (famous for the Bow Bells). We went to help a local church,
All Hallows Bow (AHB-www.allhallowsbow.org.uk),
to run a number of activities during the Olympics to help them build
relationships with the local community. We also got to spend time in Stratford,
close to the Olympic venues sharing faith with the different people we met.
We spent most of our
time helping to run a café, showing the Olympics for the local community. We
got to have a number of really good conversations with people, seeing them come
day after day. One or two of them even came along to join us on Sunday for the
service. We also went round the local area talking with the people who live
locally, and even getting to pray for people. Amir, one of the guys who was
with us got to pray for healing for a man with terrible knees, to the point he
could not walk more than to the park bench outside his house and back each day.
After talking and praying with this man, he saw a big change in his knees
physically, and the man was able to walk without pain. We also got to run sport
with the local kids, especially football, which they all really enjoyed. Loads
of people ended up joining us in the café after we met them in the local area
and talked and prayed with them.
We were also treated
to some amazing views of London from people who lived close to the church we
were staying in.
It was a really good
way to finish off this part of the DTS (Discipleship Training School) that I
have been helping to run this year. God has been so amazingly faithful in
providing finances and other logistics to enable everyone who came to complete
the whole school.
