Tuesday 5th August

Rainy in Wales today. I am still at the Apostolic Conference, “Ablaze”, which has to take the world record when it comes to buying books – we virtually sold out after just two meetings. Last night I had the opportunity to connect with two good friends from the past, Elwyn and Annette Arnold and their family. I’m always encouraged when I meet people who followed Jesus decades ago – and are still passionate about being faithful to Him. Elwyn and Annette are both youth workers, and in addition to this, Elwyn is involved as a chaplain in a local prison. Enjoyed a delicious custard cream slice at a clifftop coffee shop in the Mumbles area of Swansea today – about 11 billion calories but a real treat. Great to spend some time with Marcus and Pat, who pastor two churches in Northern Ireland. Happy birthday Marcus! This afternoon I speak at a gathering of local leaders from the Swansea area, on ‘Creative Leadership’. Tonight, it’s my last time to preach at ‘Ablaze” and then off back to Colorado tomorrow. end
