Update

Dear London Prayer Partners,

Wednesday. Another blessed day! No rain. Yes! Thank you God!

We are now believers that London is more diverse than NY City. Everywhere you turn, on the street, on the bus, on the tube (underground rail), or in the shops and markets, you see people from many parts of the world - China, Japan, Pakistan, South America, South Africa, Congo, Nigeria, and I could go on and on. Many of these people groups are from areas of the world that are hard to reach from the perspective of sharing the Gospel. So what we feel God has done is bring these people to London for the purpose of hearing the Gospel. What an awesome opportunity that presents the local churches, permanent mission teams, and short-term mission teams like us! And that's the people that live here!

There are also as many people from around the world that are visiting. Today we focused on those visiting. We prayer walked specific high traffic areas for visitors. We prayed for the visitors to see our God through the people here or through words like "For the glory of God" that you see on many monuments or entry ways. And we prayed that they would be stirred to seek to know our God, to know our God, and to take the Gospel to their country. Please pray that specifically for London that the world that "comes to" London whether for an education, to live, and for just a visit, that they will see our God, seek to know our God, come to know our God, and take the Gospel to their country.

Additionally, we had the opportunity to pray for London and specifically the leaders of the UK. The UK is a great partner to the US in many world views and efforts. We need them to remain strong with us in Christlike responses to and positions on the things of the world. Please pray for the leaders of this country. What an awesome opportunity to pray outside The Parliament House and Buckingham Palace! Please pray for the leaders of the UK to stand strong in our God with us.

And how fitting that we ended the evening in fellowship with our partner church, Kings Cross Baptist. Their congregation is as diverse as London. For the fellowship, everyone prepared and brought a dish representing their native country. We had food representing Congo, China, Romania, South Africa, Wales, and so on. Of course we did not want to go "empty handed", so we picked up some "Mickey D's" (McDonald's) and some KFC. Great US food! Of course the kids loved our US food and surprisingly, so did the Asians. Please pray for those attending the fellowship. Many are students who are not Christians. Please pray that they will stay connected to Kings Cross Baptist and become connected with Christ.

All for now. Big day ahead tomorrow. Please pray for our stamina, focus, and another day of NO RAIN so that we may finish strong. We feel your prayers and thank you for your prayers. All for the glory of God!
