Heading for the Coast

Day 24 Tuesday 1st May

After an early rise - it was great to sleep in my own bed again - another three weeks and I'll be back in again. Jenny appreciates all your prayers for her and I thank God for a wife who has been able to release me to this vision. It is also good to welcome Jean Black back on the team. Clydebank was our first port of call and after finding the place was delighted to see so many gathered from different churches. Churches who had never done anything together before. Praise God - this is what Connecting Scot;land is all about. We were able to share about our journey and distributed the 'Father's Love Letter' and one church took away a full box. There has been a good uptake of this letter down through the nation. After this we drove through Bishopton then Langbank and into Port Glasgow where we met up with some folks in Coronation Park. I left Jean and the team there and I motored on to Wemyss Bay to catch the ferry to Rothesay. A lady had called in yesterday and because of spinal difficulties could not get across to the mainland so I decided to go across to her. It was great sailing 'doon the water' again and was wonderfully surprised when then were about a dozen people waiting to pray. We had a great hour standimg praying in the square and the local press man come across and took pictures - he had already written about the 50 days in last weeks edition. Largs was my next stop and be able to meet back up with the team There were a number of folks gathered for prayer then some went out on the streets to pray. After tea there was a rally where some YWAM people led the worship. I was able to share on some things the Lord had been downloading into my mind that day about the early church. We all then went on a prayer walk = splitting into 5 groups and eventually congregated on the sea front where the word of God was declared over Largs - we prayed and praised and declared. We believe these thing change things in the heavenlies. It is great how God works out things in advance - the is a new YWAM sailing ship about to sail up the Ayrshire coast next week and we felt we are praying in advance for its arrival in Troon, Ardrossan and Largs. And so to a different bed again. ZZZzzz
