Hello all, hope your all doing well and enjoying your summer!
This morning we went down to South Bankend where the London eye is, on the corner of the street there's street performers set up everywhere so we decided to join in :). We danced on the street corner for about an hour, then headed down to a skate park near by and set up there, which also was positioned in a very busy tourist area. The skate park was sweet, there was graffitti everywhere and it was absolutely amazing. We set up and started dancing but then half way through the first dance the car battery that we run our power through died, leaving us with no music. Luckily Adrian had some good improv ideas, he got everyone in the crowd to clap to a beat and that beat is exactly what we danced to, it was a really cool experience.
In the afternoon Roxanne, a woman in the church who is a chaplain for all the broadway actors and actresses' in London took us to go and explore the city with her. She took us to a London Missions coffee shop in downtown London, she showed us around there and told us a little bit about what they do. Its a really cool mission spot where they just serve people, build relationships with the locals and tell people about Jesus and do out reach. It was really neat to see a unique shop like that. She also took us down a street called "SOHO," SOHO is a very interesting street, its very worldy, there are sex shops, gay shops, and clubs absolutely everwhere. It was really intersting being down there, a really good eye opener to whats going on in our world, and the people we need to be ministering to. As christians its our responsibility to love all these people, no matter what they believe or do, our job is to love them and tell them about Jesus. We should never take for granted all that God has done for us by not sharing the special gifts that the Lord has given us with others. Gods really just been teaching me to love people and be brave, people need the Lord. Something he is really been asking me and challenging me with is, " Why do you only tell people about me, when your in another country and are on a missions trip?" I've been thinking about that alot. Why is it that when I feel passionate to preach the good news I have to be on a missions trip? I'm really just working hard to live a consisent life with the Lord, and to preach his good news; whether here in London or at home just in my normal life.
Now I'm going to talk a little bit about our day yesterday. It was our day off just to chill after finishing up the kids camp (which by the way went incredible), I strongly believe seeds were planted and God's work is being done within all the kids we met. Anyways, Adrian told our team we were going to be going on a photo shoot around London so we would have pictures for the highlight video for when we get home, all of us got dressed up and hopped on the bus to go into the city. When we arrived in Central London it began to pour rain like mad, we were kinda bummed and a little discouraged because we were not able to go anywhere outside to take pictures like we had planned. But then Adrian whips out tickets for " THE LION KING!" In the end him and Winston suprised us and we all went and watched The Lion King on broadway, it was absolutely incredible! I'm certain everyone on the team would agree it was a marvelous time and we were all blown away by the talent, it was a wonderful night.
Everyone is doing well and is healthy, for now we are enjoying the rest of our trip in London and are continuing to pray for God's work to be at hand, and are finding refuge in his undying faithfulness.
Thats all for now folks, blessings on you all!
Love: Shar :)
