Ok well this week has been my first ‘official’ week of work, me and the team have been preparing all week for a school we were going into on Thursday. We went in and all was going to plan then eventually the bell went half way through are talk and the young people left. We had been given the wrong time, so we were very disappointed in that but we had one very encouraging thing coming out of it, it was a lunch time club and we had 50 ish young people there maybe more. So is great that we could have that many people and hopefully next week we will have the same if not more people J . A great thing happened this week again for me (well two things) I was asked to play at the youth group that have once a month on a Friday! Those of you from Oswestry its abit like passion praise but for 11-18’s. we got about 70 young people I believe and was great (if you want to see pictures they should be appearing on facebook some time soon) so it was awesome to be involved in a band they have lots of equipment in the band and was just really cool and I enjoyed in a lot. Then today (Saturday) I went along to the Church’s band practice and now have been asked to play this Sunday (tomorrow) so yeah its all been busy busy busy this week, but things are beginning to fall into place, ideas I have are starting to be shared with the church and Pais team and things are just growing for me and the people around me.
Ok so I tend to do this every week were I just say something that has been on my mind and this week its something again in one of the sessions we had at FT(Foundational training) and again it caught my mind when I was reading the book in which it came from. Firstly I recommend the book its called ‘the cloud and the line’ and is by Paul Gibbs the founder of Pais. And the line Fight for the heart of the King
Is used in this book in relation to an old battle. Were a guy called ‘Robert the Bruce’ who was a well love King of a clan. (ill shorten the story) so they went out to battle and he said if he died to take his heart our of his body and take it to Jerusalem, so surely enough in this battle he actually died so Roberts friend Douglas took Roberts heart and put it in a glass cabinet around his neck and while he fought he had it round his neck. One day they were stuck in a corner and were facing defeat so Douglas took Roberts heart out of the glass case and threw it deep into the enemy so all his army could see then he shouted ‘ fight for the hear of your King’ so his army did, and they won the battle. And the thing which Paul says at then end of all of this hit me ‘ the heart of robber is now entombed in melorise Abbey , Scotland
Prayer points for this week
- we go into all three of our schools this week so prayer for that as we move on in our work in each of the schools
- I text someone this week (who was a non-Christian) and I asked them if there was anything I could pray for them. And this was the exact text back I got ‘ Wow that means an awful lot, more then you know, my mum is battling breast cancer’ she’s a non Christian and text me that, so I just want to encourage people to join me in prayer for her mum.
Love you all Luke
