Onwards and Upwards

Greetings from Wales.

Life has been full since our last update. We continue to enjoy being involved locally in Antioch, explore more connections in Wales, host people from Wales, River and beyond in the house, and have also enjoyed a great break in Scotland with Andy, Lina and co.  Our one disappointment has been the cancellation of our Welsh lessons, due to lack of numbers for our class.  

Tomorrow, Tuesday, sees us heading to Leeds as part of a team from Wales in response to an invitation from Steve Lowton. Meetings with youth and children's workers have been planned, along with street work in both Bradford and Leeds and a couple of evening meetings. It is exciting for us to be part of a Welsh team carrying the wild fire to England. We are spending the following weekend in River, where we are due to speak in Slough on Sunday morning. Then, after Nigel has completed some work , we head back to Llanelli.

Following on from the fast and 24/7 prayer, we have been asked to draw together a team to pray prophetically in and around the community here in Llanelli. Some work has already been done on the history of the town which was very close to the centre of revival activity in 1904/5 so we are wanting to draw from that and to see God break out again!

Llanelli is a great sending place - home to World Horizons and Nations - and we have been learning to look for God connections wherever we go. Whilst in Scotland we were encouraged to find ourselves in a place where there was a long Christian heritage and a history of revival and miracles.  We are also still looking to support our friends Tim and Monique as they seek to take the ministry of Freedom in Christ into France. Having also spent a few days in Brittany recently with Jon, Alison, Tom and Annette, we were thrilled to find a small fellowship in Quimper who had just finished a week of prayer and were encouraging one another to take the gospel out into their community too.

Back in Llanelli, Nigel has been asked by a member of one of the other churches to help start their own Freedom in Christ teaching programme.

With the opportunities for ministry, work and travel increasing, we would really value your prayers for wisdom and peace about what to accept and what to politely turn down. Our next task is to organise the trip to North Wales to make connections there, and, hopefully, meet up with Robin and Fi.

With our love

Jean and Nigel
