Thanksgiving for Week 2 - St Austell

Teams and locals gathered at Holy Trinity in the centre of St Austell Sunday afternoon to give thanks for all God has done this last week. 

A long line of locals came forward to testify how the week had gone;  Yes some struggles but many, many blessings.  One lady was brought to tears as she recounted that her brother and sister in law had received Christ into their life's.

Then team members similarly gave testimony of many wonderful encounters, some where a person came to faith, but also significant steps forward for others who will be followed up during the coming days.

Daniel addressed us thanking everyone for all they contributed; for the giving of themselves in new, challenging and fresh ways.

Music was led by the Holy Trinity worship group which included an amazing fiddle player.  For me, the haunting Celtic sound was wonderful!


Earlier in the day, Daniel spoke at a church in Liskeard where he was greeted on arrival by the pastor and his wife who, stated that they had both come to faith during WC1.  This is just one of many stories we have heard this last couple of weeks of people who were challenged 20 years ago.  Most we knew nothing about and we pray that there will be many other such tales should we come back in another 20 years.  Such is mission that actually we do not know where seeds have been sown or when they will be reaped.  It is exciting and rewarding when we reap the results of the hard work over a long period of time by locals.  However we need to remember that only God will know the full story.

As we go from this area there will be a collective sigh of relieve.  Many are tired, but in a good way.  As one person said to me afterwards 'thank you so much for letting me being involved'.  We pray for them to continue in the good work, reaching out and sharing together.
