UK update

Hello Friends

Praise the Lord for he is worthy of all praise and glory. We all arrived here safely to Bristol and was happy to see everyone and blessed to stay in a home here in Bristol. Sister Melanie open her home and hospitality to us as she staid at her sister house and let us use her place for an area of operations. JCM leader here in UK, Dale made sure everyone was picked up and ready to go out to the streets the first night.

We made our way to the downtown area, Don started off preaching the Word that immediately got the people here in Bristol rowled up and going. We were, pushed, mocked and cursed at, but also God drew many to the open air to listen and allowed us to minister to others in one on one conversation. Great conversation were happening and God use them to make people think about their eternity.

The next day we had good devotion and prayer time before we went back to preach during the day. The Lord directed us to the spots where he wanted us to proclaim Jesus to the people. Some open air preached for the first time and lifted the name of Jesus to his glory the people heard the Word. So many spiritual wickedness was roaming around the streets of Bristol, people dress like trees in a parade, teenage girls waiting for a pop band to come in the same area we were preaching, wild costumes of a bachelor party and cross dresser walking around. Later that night hecklers got hostile and chase some of us around, they were so drunk they wanted to hurt us, but ended up punching each other, they were so confused, for God had his hand on the whole situation.(Thanks be to God none of us got hurt). But in the midst of all the chaos, one of the hecklers, a young woman was mad at the preaching at first, but staid and listen for a few hours and she wanted to pray and repent at the end before she left. When we think things are going wrong, things may be going right, because we can't see the inside of a soul but God can, and is doing something for his glory. God gave us grace in lifting our voices and witnessing to the people here in Bristol.

Our last day, on Sunday we went to the park and Pastor John Reuther preached a powerful sermon to us and people all around the park heard and even walk by and stayed to listen, praise God! It was a beautiful morning, singing Hymns and worshiping in the open air. After we went downtown again and gave the Word to Bristol one last time. Everyone witnessed and preached their heart out, to Worship God in the proclamation of His Son. Again God set up divine appointments, one guy was heckling me during my preaching but later I talked to him, he had a problem with the wrath of God, but I explained him, the justice and grace of God' and he said I made it more clear and he wanted to be a christian.

Apart from the preaching we went and saw some historical places, like John Wesley's Chapel, one of George Muller's orphanages.

We are off to Wales, and well rested and excited for God to shine his glory and mercies upon the trip there. Thank you all for your prayer support for us and our families back home. We are having great fellowship and lifting each other and our families in prayer! To God be all the Glory.
