The Journey Continues

Day 6 Friday 13th April

We left Lairg early on Friday morning and we passed through Rogart and drove up the A9 to Brora where there was a group of prayer warriors waitng to pray with us beside a bridge. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and prayer with them and Kenny recorded a remarkable testimony (worth buying the DVD for). After this we drove down to Golspie where again we were delighted to see a fairly large group waiting for us in a car park. This again was a remarkable time of praise and prayer beside the main road. Some of the team went up and prayed for Jacqueline (whom many of you prayed for last year about her family situation - she is Jenny's niece)and prayed a blessing on her and the boys and their home before driving on to Dornoch where we prayed with another group of Christians outside Dornoch Jail We then prayed with a couple who organise a youth cafe in Tain and the team then split into two - one group driving on to Forres and another group went into Inverness and dropped of three of the team who were coming home. They then prayer drove through Muir of Ord and Dingwall which really completed a circle of prayer around Inverness before catching up with us at Forres. There was a large group waiting for us in Forres where we marched along the High Street praising and praying and proclaiming Jesus as Lord. We then proceeded to Kinloss where we met a small group at the ruined abbey and also had the privilege of praying in the Military Cemetery after which we drove into Findhorn - a place of great spiritual confusion and we proclaimed Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life outside the local Church of Scotland. Elgin was our last stop for the day where the local Christians had organised a prayer walk with flags and banners starting from the Cathedral and ending at St Giles Church. This was a powerful witness in the city streets. Our Rally at night was in a community centre and many turned up to praise, pray and the word was proclaimed.
And so to bed ZZZzzz.

Day 7 Saturday 14th April

Our first stop of the day was Buckie where a prayer walk had been organised to walk from the outskirts right into the centre. A Brazilian, only baptised last week, carried the cross into the town (Praise God) We had a prayer time in the local Baptist Church before moving on to Culloden. If the original route had stayed in place we would not have been there that day - and yet God's timing is always perfect because as we entered into Culloden hundreds of people had just carried out a commemoration of the battle and all that that means. We were able then to proclaim the message of Life and hope and reconciliation. Inverness was our next port of call where there was already a street witness taking place. There was a full programme of events in the centre of the city and there was quite a crowd gathered to watch and listen.I had the joy of doing some open-air preaching (I cut my preaching teeth on open air work and have not done so for many a long year)Some of the team went on to a prayer meeting at Kings Fellowship while some went to bed. (ME & Kenny) There was a real sense of God's presence at the time of prayer which was very encouraging.
Another full day.

Please continue to pray for us as we head next to Aberdeen

Bless you Bert and the team! This makes very moving reading. Even if you never walked at all, the amount of praying and worshipping would be rattling the gates of the enemy SO severely!! We pray protection and strength over each one of you. Go in His mighty power and He will keep you.
Much love in Jesus,

Sally

Blessings to the team

The walk and rally we had in Elgin was a real witness to the Love of Jesus. It was also wonderful to see God's people from different churches gathering together.

Something fresh started on the 13th April - We will continue to proclaim it and claim it.

God Bless you all
