Wales of fun!



Amanda and I braved the cold weather conditions this week! We were nearly blown off our feet! 
The photo above is one of many chapels around Wales that have been unused for so many years that they have been bought and renovated into homes.

YWAM KIngs Lodge


I have just spent several days at King's Lodge YWAM base in Nuneaton, south of Birmingham. This rather austere building was built in the 1870's as a boys school. It's really, really big inside and undergoing some renovations. Within is a happy and lively atmosphere, many of the staff and students are involved in discipleship training, biblical studies and primary health care.
I just checked the weather forecast and it's about 3 degrees here, but that doesn't seem to include the wind chill factor, it's freezing!!!
I have met many wonderful folks this week and have been given such a warm welcome. On Saturday morning I am heading to Wales for 2 weeks on the island of Anglesey. time for further direction..........

Loving in hard places

Love advantages people in ways they least deserve. Graham Cooke

I arrived in the UK on 5 Feb to a winter wonderland, everything white and crispy!
The conference was an excellent place to meet missionaries and I was so encouraged to be amongst 200 people who love and are called to Europe.
