Dumfries

Day 28 Saturday 5th May

I woke this morning with no pain in my knee – thank you, Lord. We can hardly believe this is the end of the fourth week on the road. Newton Stewart was our first port of call where we met a number of local Christians in the centre of town and prayed, praised and proclaimed the Word of God. It is good when local Christians do ost of the praying. Next it was Creetown where again we stood with local people calling out for God to move in their community. Gatehouse of Fleet came next and we prayer walked with them up through the town before moving on to Kirkcudbright where we met local people in a church, shared a bit about the vision and prayed with them. Two ladies have been prayer walking the town and God has said to do it seven times then they will see a change in their community – they are now on their seventh time – we wait to hear. On then to Castle Douglas where the locals had began their prayer walk which ended on a grassy patch at the car park. They had set up a small stage and after worship, and locals declaring the word of \god and local prayers I was able to share a word from Isa.42. I am getting the feel again for open air preaching – I cut my preaching teeth when I was 16 on open air preaching. Dalbeattie was next where we prayer walked with local Christians before going on to Dumfries to another open air rally in the late afternoon. This time from a band stand in the local park. After worship the whole team shared and there were prayers for Dumfries and I finished by sharing from Psalm 66. Another wonderful day meeting up with so many of God’s dear people.
