Day 3

Dear friends and family, thank you for continuing to lift our team to the the Lord! The answers to your prayers are being experienced!!
Day 3 was a meaningful walk for all our teams. One such reason was an open door from a team member's encounter the day before -- K had the opportunity to speak with a homeless man, who is on the streets because he is addicted to pain meds and is HIV positive. As K had a spiritual conversation with this man, he pulled out some Jehovah Witness literature. K was very compelled to give him the Truth, so she left her Bible with him (after he promised her that he would read it). Upon returning back to our hotel, K googled Christian bookstores, and she found one. The only one in London. And it was located close to one of the team's walking route. So this team found the book store, in order to replace K's Bible--but while at the store our team was able to connect with a worker named J*. This worker was a delight to speak with and was very knowledgeable about the Scriptures. He shared with us about the church he attended, as well as the darkness and lostness he also perceived in London. We collected his contact info and his church's info, and K's team is headed back to visit with him again today. Praise God for this Brother!
On another note, a church close to this bookstore was visited as well. This church is pastored by an American, and appeared to be extremely seeker-friendly. An assistant at the church said there are only about 60 active people, and the church's building is rented as conference space.
Please continue to lift up our teams, and our encounters! Please lift up J*, that he would not be numb to the overwhelming lostness on London, and that her would embrace his role as ambassador for Christ. And pray that churches would not water-down the Gospel in desperate attempts to attract visitors, but that they would repent and turn from adding to the work of Christ!






As well, lift up the 2012 Olympic games that will be held in London--ask God to consecrate this event for His purpose!
