Dear Friends & Prayers: Two years ago today we landed at London's Heathrow Airport, having left New Orleans' hot and humid weather for the chiily damp of the U.K. Here we picked up a rented car and drove out to Wales. Since day one this has been such an amazing and privileged adventure the Lord has launched us on. We know that it is only by His grace that we are here, and that His purposes will be accomplished in this land. We have seen His constant guidance and covering every step of the way.
On that first day two years ago, we stopped in this village to take this snapshot just because we have always liked the name. Little did we know that it would come to have special significance - after 5 months of searching, we found a house to rent here. The entrance to the right just above the car's antenna has now been our home for the last year and a half! And this was just the beginning of watching the Lord's provision for us become manifested day by day. I sure you'll enjoy reading our entry for May 13th describing the first few days which you can see in the May 2005 archive on our updates page. God is so FAITHFUL!
We continue praying daily in this beautiful old chapel, which was started over 300 years ago. Although we don't yet see any visible fruit of our intercession in the chapel itself, we know absolutely that our labor is not in vain! And meanwhile, around Wales we do indeed see growth and change in parts of the Christian community. There is an excitement and expectancy that is almost palpable, and is the subject of much conversation and prayer. The Lord is definitely on the move, and recent words about a "shifting in the heavenly realm", among others from Wales and elsewhere, is encouraging prayers and intercessors here to press in with greater deternination and hope. We are so overjoyed to be part of God's impending move here!
