It’s been a busy week in the town of Guisborough.  Speaking in schools, visiting the locals and serving the community has occupied our time.  But the addition of a daily after school event has really energized our team.

Every afternoon we have gathered in Westgate Park to work with the Axiom sports team in putting on a sports event called Camp of Champions.  Kids are divided and placed on teams with our youth leading.  Various types of games and sports are played with everyone coming together with their team for a “huddle time” to hear a message and have discussion with one of our Getwell youth.

Being able to watch our youth pour into the kids is an incredible blessing.  Many friendships have been made, but more importantly, the love of Christ has been shared to people in a country that has walked away from God and the church.  It’s a harsh reality that is hard to understand by us American Christians.  It is an example of how quickly a nation can turn away from God and ultimately become a post-Christian society.  

Many of our friends here tell us that they see something in us they don’t witness in most of their fellow British.  We tell them that it’s a result of our relationship with and faith in Christ.   They can have the same if they just reach out and accept that free gift.  We are called here to bring this Good News!

England is a great nation full of great people that we’ve come to know and love.   Continue to pray for opened eyes and hearts in this wonderful town called Guisborough!

Peace
