London calling


I made it! I arrived in London safely and spent a day getting all the logistics in order for the arrival of my team. I was greatly helped with wonderful folks, the Keans, from the church we are partnering with here- such a blessing. My team arrived on Saturday night and is still trying to get over jet lag- they are troopers, really stepping out and engaging the congregation here. We just love All Saints Woodford Wells, the fellowship that is hosting us here... and its also great for me to see a past student of mine, Jonatan from Sweden, that is an intern here. A familiar face is always welcome:) As a team we are sensing clearly that we have a calling not only in London, but also here at All Saints. Such a blessing to have been led to serve alongside a church glowing with worship, diligence, hospitality, and a missional outlook on life.

We are heading into central London in about an hour- our first trip downtown together. My team is pretty excited:) The weather here is very cool (and typically overcast and sometimes raining) so we will be picking up light jackets whilst downtown... the cardigans aren't cutting it.

Pictures will follow soon- just had a bit of trouble with the wifi since arriving.
