Pre trip day 3

Today was a great day of renewing friendships, discussing the work God is doing and praying with friends for Gods grace to be showered onto London.

We first met up with friends from Southside Baptist who are from Huntsville and are working in a neighboring borough. It was good to hear southern accents again. They are doing a great work and it was neat to see how God, according to the pastor, was actually using London to change perspectives and vision for their own outreach back home. It is true, you are able to see the world in London and it will change your heart for the nations!

Next, we met up with our friend Pastor Andrew. We had a nice lunch with him right off a street named Hunter Street. It is exciting to hear about his vision for Kings Cross Baptist. Please be in prayer for Andrew and for the leadership at the church as they are seeking Gods wisdom on some major decisions that will impact their current and future ministry.

Next, we had dinner with our friend Andrew Hill, and his family. He is the pastor of Highgate Chapel and is working hard to equip and mobilize the 30 believers at Highgate to reach out in their neighborhood. The church is located within a short walk for over 10,000 students, which according to Andrew, 98 to 99% have no real access and knowledge of the true gospel message. Please join us in praying for possibilities to join Andrews church in reaching out to this great need.

Lastly we walked up to Parliment Hill and looked out over the city. What a massive city of the world's population. May God grant us opportunity to participate and be found faithful workers for His namesake!

Here are a few pics from the day...

Local park where small groups of community hang out. Please pray for relationships to be started so that he gospel can be shared to groups of people such as these.
