Day 15 Saturday 5 October

Week 3 teams arrived today in Launceston (pronounced Larn-son).  It was great to see them all and local church leaders gathering together.  The Commissioning service was led by David Culhane and the address given by Peter Adams.  All the rest of the TFM evangelists were elsewhere although Roger managed to catch us just at the end of the service and encourage everyone with how things were going in other centres that he has been involved with.

Peter reminisced that he had been based in Launceston in the very hall we were meeting in today 20 years ago on WC1!

A story from 20 years ago - a team member was involved in helping wash cars one day and spoke through the drivers window with a man who was very low in spirit. He offered to pray with the man and did so.

Jump forward 20 years to last week;  the same team member was doing door to door work in a village near Perranporth.  A man comes to the door and says 'I know you!  You prayed for me 20 years ago.' The man had been helped tremendously and had become a Christian and involved in his Church.  How good is God.  Both were encouraged to meet up with each other.

Another story from last week.  Three ladies were at an event and attempts made to involve them in conversation seemed unsuccessful.  hHwever we learnt today that they all came to a Night of Colour in the week and have become Christians.  Praise God.

The commissioning itself was performed by the Revs Audrey Elkington and Doreen Sparey-Delacassa.
