Our recent trip to the Arctic was a great success in many ways.  Tromso is situated 380 miles north of the Arctic Circle and is part of the most northerly tip of Norway.  We worked in the Baptist Church leading youth, young people and adult meetings for 7 days.  The pastor David and his wife linn are a wonderful young couple who have a difficult task.  The church has around 30 people on a Sunday but many more during the week.  It seems to be that Norwegians prefer to be out on the ski slopes or trekking through the forests at the weekend.  Many do not attend church but do go to various group activities during the week.  Our dear friend Rev. Clive Doubleday (Smile International) plus two others was with us and while we ministered they were raising £5,000 by trekking for 10 Km per day for 2 days.  As Clive was looking through the pictures of the trip he had this to say.
 

It brought back the wonderful memories of the fantastic week we had and I just thank God for the beautiful weather, lovely food and the fellowship we enjoyed with folks at Tromso Baptist Church. Thank you once again for all your ministry during that week which I know was a blessing to so many.

Check out our NEW Arctic video for more info, footage of the countryside and hear personal testimony from David about the impact that was had.
We have been invited to return early in 2010 for a longer stay so that we can teach and train the church on issues such as worship and community evangelism.  They are a great group of people, please pray for them as they seek God’s plan for them to be Jesus where they are.

We are now preparing for our work in Uganda where we will be for 1 month starting 21st July.  We are heading up several teams for 2 weeks at a time, working with the Stephen Jota Children Home plus outreach and services for the local churches around Kampala City.  Please pray for many to come to faith as we intend to sing and speak to many thousands at a time not only inside the churches but on a large stage to be erected on the outskirts of a very large slum area.  It will be hot, hard work for all concerned but the potential for reward in lives touched and changed is enormous!  We are so blessed to have Lisa with us again, she is very gifted with children and it makes our work much easier.  Our powerful Uganda video is online if you would like to see something of what we do there. 

Please consider how you can be involved with the ministry.  If you cannot come with us why now pray and give a small amount each month for the work to continue.  Without your support none of this would be possible.  Thank you to those who have already taken up the challenge and partner with us in changing lives for eternity.
