Latest update from the team

At last we have another chance to blog.  We are sorry not to have posted any photos so far but it is proving very hard to get online.

We are having an awesome time.  We are all safe.  Keep up the prayers.  Here's Beth .....

We've been to Nuwara Eliya which was a 4 hour journey stopping at a tea factory and strawberry farm. We arrived at a very poor village where there were lots of lovely children and as we arrived we got a round of applause. The children here are loving singing our impact song your amazing and are great at jumping clapping and shouting it is so great to see them passionate about jesus they don't hold back it's brill! We gave out loom bands and ballons which they really love and they all want two. The bus broke down as we arrived and the breaks went which on hilly mountain roads isn't fun so we had to wait to get them fixed but they were only half fixed we need to pray that the whole problem is fixed. David and Sam have stayed behind to preach there in the morning the rest of the team have gone back to bell wood. We are all very sleepy please pray for energy.

Today, Sunday we have had a great time at Galaha church Dave P felt at the last minute to change his sermon and the pastor said that it was from the holy spirit as they had been looking at this subject. Pip and Alice were great when delivering their testimony so powerful and we did songs including victors crown where they all join in during the chorus singing hallelujah. We also did a drama. At the end gid gave me a word that he wanted to heal someone with a throat problem a lady stood up we all layer hands on her and the whole church prayed an amazing moment. At the end we asked her how her throat was she said it was cured and that God was her doctor.  Praise the Lord. Tomorrow we have to get up at 2.30am to go to little sureshs orphanage.  Please pray for us as some team members are feeling a bit sick and tired.

Here's Chris:
I know now for sure that if God calls you to do something that he does equip you for the task ahead so trust in him and go for it.

Here's Megan:
In this packed dark small shack of a church there was happy Smiling people, I was overcome to think that I so nearly missed out on this wonderful experience - Praise God

Here's steve:
The playground in the church this morning was supported by a sweetish missionary and it turned out that I knew here from sweedon and her Sri lankan husband who is now a pastor in sweedon - wow!

Big love all of us X
