We have arrived and have been very busy!
Day one was spent arriving and getting ourselves acclimated to our new surroundings. We went on a walking adventure that covered 8 miles! That though as we discovered today will be the least amount of walking for a day. So in other words, please pray for our energy!!
More importantly though is prayer for what we encountered, which is shear darkness with little hope of the true gospel. Ed, for an example was one person who we were able to engage. Ed is a self professed fundamental atheist. Ed is a great representation of many people in the Camden area who are self-reliant and think that all religions are about seeking someone's approval our some fake gods approval. He claimed that he has a great sense of peace knowing that he doesn't have to live his life to meet any expectation outside of himself. Part of our team was able to share about how the good news of Jesus is exactly the same in that one does not have to meet any expectations for approval because through Jesus one is approved by God, not based on their works but Christ's work alone. Please pray that Ed and others like him will hear and understand the true message of Christianity and see that it is not a religion of works but one of grace through faith.
Day two was spent worshipping with two great communities of faith
, kings Cross Baptist and Camden Town Church. We then split up into teams of twos to prayer walk and engage our respected areas. All of the teams today had great experiences but still walked away with a deep sense of lostness and burden for the people of Camden. One example of a person we met was Marco. Marco is visiting from Germany and was very talkative on any and every subject until the subject turned to Jesus. This appears to be a very normal experience as it appears any subject is permissible to discuss except Jesus. Please pray for us this week, pray that distractions would be minimized and that people would have open hearts and minds to hear the good news.
Thank you for your prayers, we need them and God is working through them to sustain us, to keep us focused, and to help us see the unseen. Please continue to do so as well as to check back here to see how the week is going. We will be updating soon with more pictures.
