concluding the UK convention...

i didn't realize that i hadn't updated on the conclusion of the conference...the Sunday night with youth emphasis service was great--all the youth (children-teens) led us in songs, prayers, skits, dance and more -- Grace began the evening with a wonderful prayer (i got it on video and hope to post soon!) Pastor Jim continued to challenge the churches on the theme for the weekend, getting into his own history as an adopted son.



Monday morning, we quickly ate breakfast, packed and loaded up. we then hurried through a mens, WCG, and youth meeting prior to our last session. it was good to see the number of men in the session improve since last year. Keli shared as a part of the WCG meeting. Pastor Jim ended a wonderful weekend of challenge and inspiration, and we were off to one last meal together (we did A LOT of eating) -- then it was a long series of goodbyes to all our London friends

our record of this event won't be the only record -- we were thrilled to watch Pastor Jim and his son Andrew recording several of the participants for the CBH Viewpoint program. this broadcast is heard all over the world and streamed on the internet--these particular recordings will be heard beginning in July. among the interviews and subjects, me and the unique 6th Avenue mission and vision of Touching the World for Christ through global partnerships. i'm sure we'll put a link from our website when it comes up!


the journey to Birkenhead was not too difficult--of course, most of us slept most of the way. upon our arrival, we ordered tea (dinner) in -- Chinese, of course ;) it appears that sweet and sour chicken is a universal treat after a long drive.
