Gaining Focus

As we've gone past the one year mark in London, God has begun to build a vision for sharing His hope and love with teenagers and their families. Several doors have opened to partner with local believers and churches in the US. We had a great time with the guys from FBC Canton, Georgia last week and some excitement has begun to stir about this partnership. We continue to pray for God's wisdom to bring life into Acton (West London).

- Pray that God will open a door into Acton High School.
- Pray for the "Hoodies" team as they develop a youth centre that will reach into the lives of local teenagers. They are currently applying for a government grant that would make the initial stages of the project financially viable.
- Continue to pray for housing for our interns arriving in January. (There was a misunderstanding and we have two interns for Spring/Summer 2009. You can read about them in the INTERN SECTION.) They also have a house in the US that needs to be rented for the 6 months that they will be away and a vehicle to sell. Pray that God will take care of these logistics.

- We continue to praise God for the 5 teenagers that chose to follow Him a few weeks back.
- A good friend of ours is visiting from the States right now. It's been fun exploring parts of the city we haven't before.
- With Thanksgiving yesterday, I am especially aware today of all the people that pray for and support us. We love you guys and are blessed to call you friend.
