Trips and a Map

Hello everyone!
            Just a quick note to say that my trips to the Twin Lakes Pastors Conference and the Blue-ridge Presbytery for networking and support raising purposes went really well. I finally got to meet Bill Schweitzer, the pastor I will be working under. He a good solid man with a real heart to see God's kingdom grow in England to the glory of God's name and it will be my privilege to work under him.

Also just realized that some of you may not really know were in England I will be. If you look at the map below of England and Wales (just England and Wales not Scotland too)  the shaded circles are large cities and the crosses are churches in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of England and Wales, the denomination of the church I will be working at. I will be in the most northerly city and church. The City, of course, is Newcastle/Gateshead and the Church as you know Gateshead Presbyterian Church, but now you can see were it really is in England.

Prayer Requests 4/1/11

Here are a few prayer requests:

• Pray for travel mercies for me as a travel to Mississippi to a pastors conference to meet Rev. Schweitzer and meet other pastors.
• Also pray that this will open up opportunites for me to visit churches for support raising farther afield than the Blue Ridge Presbytery. 
• Pray for patience and diligence for me. Sometime it feels like I am talking to many people but little result in terms of fund raising are coming from it. Funds are not the only part of support raising and I love telling people about the needs in England and I appreciate people's prayers regardless. The Spirit of God is the one who has to make this thing go not money. However, the fact is that I need the money to go and it can be a little discouraging when I seem to be making very little progress in this area. Again pray that my response would be to trust in God.
• Pray that my heart for England and the spread of the gospel and the strengthening of God's Church there would continue to grow.
