Rain cancelled

Sitting in a church in Carrickfergus waiting to share in the service.  Yesterday at the NW200 our sharing at it cancelled because of the rain, a rare occasion when the weather said itss not worth giving it a go.  We normally share in the afternoon, were going to give the morning a try but even it was not great.  It was a shame, we had a livelt evening in South Armagh though sharing at a church BBQ.  Aislinn loved her evening, but has been tired ever since. 

After yesterday's rain it was great to get to chat with a colleague last night and plot summer adventures

Heat Rain Noise

So im sitting here its warm and humid, and it feels great. I thought the trip to England would get me well used to this traveling again. It has, my stomach is stretched and not really being challenged at all, yet. Brazil seems to have quite an interesting mix, of people customs and everything else. At the end of the day though the people are just the same as anywhere else, all in need of some hope, all in need of something to live for. And thats what we have been able to do twice today point them in the direction of someone worth living for. At the first show many of the children decided to make that choice, to follow Jesus what a precious sound it was. Tomorrow its training and a little bit of shopping, and right now its of for a cold shower, lovely.

England

In England for a week ish, arrived here after driving from Edzell my folks house in Scotland. I left at 5 am and was here just after 10am plenty of time before a 1.15pm show. I had both a good, interesting and I guess troubling time with my folks there these past few days. I guess its always that way when you see things for the first time, and realise stuff that has just passed you buy.

Sometimes I forget how much my life and what I see has changed me, its easy to forget I have allot going on even when it feels like not much is happening.

I got to see some beautiful scenery this time that I hadn't every seen before, as well as a new glenn.

Our shows on the streets in Ireland have been great since I got home from South Africa. Always fun, sometimes interesting. Tomorrow I am on the street in Whitehaven, Cumbria and in a Theatre - should be fun.

The next week I will be helping with a kids club and doing shows on the street. Before three days at home and then of to Brazil. Happy days.

Soweto

One of my dreams in coming to africa was getting the chance to share in somewhere like Soweto. Well the other day I had that privilege, was it what I thought it would be, no. Nothing is ever what you think it will be. Was it good to see God at work most definately!

Johannesburg has much crime, it has a massive problem with aduse and aids, a friend told me the other day that the joke is that rape is the national sport. With problems like these there are many people living in hopeless situations, many people hurting terribly. We have gotten to see some of these same children laughing and praying along with us at the programs what a privilege.
