I'm growing tired so this may not be as detailed as it should be. Jenny and I are currently at London School of Theology where we are being housed, for our London Evangelism and Prayer Week.
The last few days have been a whril wind. Alison, A.K.A. Captian dictionary, met us in London on Thursday but not before we went to a London City Mission center that was set up to care for the Homeless in London. We helped prepare tea and coffee. Jenny served food on the serving line, and then we met a few of the people that frequented the center. Jenny will have more to say about that I'm sure. She looked rather cute in here apron and server's cap.
We met Phil Moore who is in charge of short term missions for LCM. I was encouraged by our conversation with him that the work that LCM does is something I'd be comfortable doing. He is a straight shooter and said that if my gifting is in pastoral work that LCM wouldn't be a good fit. I haven't figured out if that is my gifting. I just want to be a part of bringing the Gospel to the world in some way. He was very gracious with his time and a great help in explaining how LCM works especially if we were to consider their organization for long term mission work.
We went to Leicster Square to do street evangelism. It was a first for me. I was teamed with the team leader so I didn't get to talk too much. I did have a good conversation with a young man that had some new age ideas on life. We agreed to disagree but he did take a gospel with him and agreed to read it and ponder what we talked about. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, most of the people were polite, and the ones that did stop to talk were mostly stopping to argue but I think it was tastefully done and the Gospel was shared in a clear way without harassment and confrontation.
On to Alison. What can I say she's, well, Alison. We put her in charge of our second day of touring London but she didn't know what she wanted to do and we didn't know what we wanted to do so we pretty much didn't do much. Just kidding we had a blast together in London. We stayed dry and tried to stay warm. We had pizza and Alison was the only one of us to have fish and chips. We saw so much stuff it would be crazy to list it all here. We said goodbye to her this morning never to hear from her again, until next we meet back in Orlando in two weeks.
I said I wouldn't be detalied and I really wasn't but now I see that I've typed too much so I'll quit for now and come back to this another time.

For the time you have, you are getting a lot of exposure. After the big moment next Feb, wherever you go, Judy will follow; Gma's are like that
ReplyDeleteWhen you take a tour, Alison is a tourist not a guide. Its good, she does speak the language. And how do you celebrate a significant birthday in London; Put a candle on Fish and Chips?
I know this is good for you both, God Bless your efforts. Gpa
God has really blessed you with great opportunity to learn how you can best serve Him. I am so proud of you and Jenny. Your faith and desire to serve our Lord has taken you out of your comfort zone and lead you where most men and women will not go. I admire you both for seeking His face for your service.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
Love,
