That will be that.

F sent me a text saying that she and her brother are returning to their own country in about a year. this surprised me, but It also stirred me into action. I kept away from information technology yesterday. I prayed, and decided to write notes with a view to writing her a letter in which I will tell her everything and give her things to consider. I am praying about it and whatever she decides, that will be that.

Focus days

Our focus days were brilliant. I always look forward to them and I think these ones were the best with our team from all over the UK. We had a band form Glasgow and for me these young people were reminded me of what I attempted to do at their age in band. to communicate the gospel using music and getting people together to preach to them, but they were considerably better at it than I ever was. An American group distributed literature in a couple of schools that was very in your face and got negative news headlines. The band will not be allowed in Schools for two months which will effect their income and it will also mean that other christian agencies will not get in. I knew about the schools, but I did not know about the repercussions. I am plugging on writing my book. hope to have the first draft finished in the next few weeks.

terry virgo

I do not agree with some of what Terry Virgo says, however to the students at forum, I have to say that everything he said to them was good and wise. Abraham had faith, though he was old and sarah was barren. Doubt is not modesty and Moses refused the pleasures of Egypt. I trust that he spoke into their lives. Indeed he told them that they do not know how much God has invested in them. AS a mature man, I can look back and see that God has entrusted me with a great deal and I trust that for many of those students. He will use them abundantly. Virgo also emphasised the prayer meeting and the local church. All of which I approve of and I have written a chapter about prayer meetings in the draft of my book Yesterday when I went to lock, up the chapel, I found that I had to stay an extra half hour, because up to about half a dozen of them remained to discuss issues about the CU and Church. I think that is a vital subject. It was emphasized tome me in my university days by an individual and I am glad to see that it is policy On the previous night, I watched them as the listened to George Verwer. They laughed when the globe came out. Many of them stood to signify their commitment to mission. pray for them. George may be 75 years old, but he still appeals to young people.
