Kim says

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!

    Dear Pete and Kim,
    My husband, Tim, and I currently go to a New Frontiers Church in London but on September 2nd we head off to Redding to join the School of Supernatural Ministry! Yayyyy!!!
    We have really enjoyed reading your blog and it makes us ever more hungry for God and his love and power to be evidenced in our lives. We actually visited North Kent Community Church in May as we heard that Paul Manwaring was due to speak (although he wasn't able to make it, we had an wonderful time being prayed for and prophesied over by your lovely church members).
    Anyway, the main reason for getting in touch was on the off-chance that you have come in to contact with someone in Redding who wants to rent out a small house/flat to a nice and tidy British couple! We know it's a long shot, but thought it would be worth a push.
    May God continue to pour out all that He has for you out there and we look forward to hearing about what happens in North Kent after you return!
    With love and thanks,
    Emily and Tim Smith
