Just getting ready to go to Rendezvous, the French Bible week which will be great - the theme is "Living a supernatural life". We are looking forward to passing on what we have received and seeing so many friends again.

Kim and I spoke at the NKCC school of supernatural ministry yesterday; it was very good. This was the end of our first year and people have grown so much in their knowledge of God, experiences of Him, and learning to show God's goodness to others. It has been a privilege to be involved.
From September we will start the course again on alternate Wednesday evenings starting 16th September - anyone can enrol for the course.

Back home for 5 days now, and the sleep pattern is improving. We have both been getting to sleep around 4am some nights so midnight was a good improvement.
First Sunday back in NKCC yesterday - what a great church. We sensed the presence of God right from the beginning of the morning meeting. We talked about our time in California, Kim doing most of the speaking. The main thrust of what we said is that God is good and he has set us free, and that we now know these things to a deeper level. Kim was excellent sharing about Freedom and a good number of people have told us how helpful it was.
Afternoon BBQ to say goodbye to our Impact students which was a good time.
Then in the evening we had a meeting to share some more of our thoughts and experiences; friends from other churches in Kent joined us and we had a fantastic time in God's presence. Kim and I prayed for many people and saw God releasing His power.
My Dad was with us for the day which was great - in the evening meeting he had a new experience of God. Yeah.
On Thursday we will fly to France for Rendezvous, the French Bible Week which should be great. The theme this year is "Living a Supernatural Life".
Thanks to our friends in Bethel, we miss you already; you have given us so much to share with others.

We had a great time in the healing rooms on Saturday. I like being in the "Encounter Room", where I took several opportunities to pray for people. I prayed with one young man who had problems with lots of "floaters" in his eyes. A few minutes later he testified that he only had one floater left!
Sunday was a good finale. Joaquin Evans, who oversees the Healing Rooms, preached in the evening - hilarious, faith building and impartational. Finished with the now traditional "In and Out" Burger after the service.
This morning we had managed to book into a free Kayak Tour of Whiskey Town Lake for a couple of hours and then had a pcinic and went swimming. We are out this evening, -rumour has it that we had better start packing! We are driving down to San Francisco tomorrow to catch our 6.50pm flight.

Sunday was great again, then we went to Lassen Volcanic Park for a couple of days; we booked in to a nice bed and breakfast where we had stayed previously, but this time we had booked a cheaper room. When we arrived we were given a free upgrade to the room we had previously stayed in - the difference in price was exactly the same as the money we had put in an offering on Sunday evening. On Tuesday we went walking in Drakesbad and saw some volcanic thermal features (steam vents, boiling mud) and at the end of that we stopped off at a holiday ranch for a drink - for some reason they said "this is your lucky day, you can have the coffee and muffins for free. God really is creative in blessing us, and gives more than we ask or imagine.
On Wednesday we went to the Bethel Staff meeting, had the privilege of sharing a little about our 3 months and then the whole of the staff prayed for us, laying hands on us and sending us back to the UK and Europe - exciting times.

We are starting to get ourselves ready for our return - we will be sad to leave here, but happy to be home. Please pray for our "reentry" as we are aware of a lot of expectation and we want to be wise in all that we do.

We are looking forward to seeing family and friends, our NKCC family and Rendezvous (the French Bible Week) where we will catch up with our friends in France.

We will keep the blog going with testimonies etc.

This weekend will be busy - our last time in the Healing Rooms on Saturday morning, and then we have been invited to a "Prophetic Round Table" Saturday afternoon, and Saturday evening we will go out for a meal with Faith. Sunday we will be busy as well, then Monday we will be relaxing a bit and getting ready to leave on Tuesday.

We'll try to give you news of our last weekend before we fly out.

We had a great 4th of July. Pete and I went to the Beach at nearby Whiskey Town Lake - as did half of Redding and most boat enthusiasts in Northern Calafornia! We actually had a great time - 39C, cool lake, beautiful mountains (boat engines revving!)- we both said it reminded us of being on holiday in Turkey!

About 5.30 we made our way to a park in front of the Convention Centre in central Redding. We joined Mary and Kim Andersson and their family and church members. (Kim and Mary lead a church which is linked to Bethel and Morning Star in nearby Anderson. They are lovely people.)We sat on the grass watchng various Redding home-grown talent until 10pm when there were fireworks. They were amazing for a community the size of Redding. It is very interesting to hear the pride in their country and the value of freedom etc. It was a true Amercian Cultural Experience and a really good evening.

We spoke at Youth on Wednesday - apparently we were "awesome"!! It was scary but fun for me!

We have walked to some waterfalls recently, they are very beautiful as the snow melt water cascades down the mountains. The water is very cold - we bravely waded in !!

Independence Day tomorrow - we have decided to risk life and limb to be amongst the crowds for the festivities and fireworks. Apparently our English accents may attract some attention, but we are hoping not to be thrown in the river as that too is very cold.

Good morning from California. The sun has come up and it looks set to be another hot day - last night it was 99F at 10pm.
We had the privilege of speaking at Bethel youth last night; they asked us to tell our stories, particularly from our young days! Kim was excellent, and then I followed on and we were both well received. Then it was down to In N Out burger to "hang out" with the team. Good fun. It was strange getting involved in public speaking again for the first time in over 2 months.

We will be having breakfast with Danny and Sheri Silk tomorrow at a nice place called Deja Vu - they do great pancakes. It will be good to have some more time with them and we are really looking forward to having them with us in North Kent in November for a conference on "A Culture of Honour" - we believe this is one of the fundamental principles which will underlie a sustained powerful move of God, releasing people into their full potential. Do plan to be there, details are on our church website www.nkcc.org.uk
