A report on the progress of the Walk the Way mission
Sat 19 June to Sat 4 Sept

 



 

 

This page reports on Weeks 6 to 11.  Weeks 1 to 6 can be found here.


Day 78 Saturday 4 September
Walk the Way completes!

What an amazing 3 months it has been.  WtW came to an end as the east and west teams met for the Celebration and thanksgiving service (part of our annual conference) at Redhill Christian Centre.

E11 arrives at Redhill


Testimonies were shared.  Friendships renewed as team members past and present gathered to give thanks to God.  As one person said, 'I had my reservations, both personal (I like my food!) and more generally along the lines of 'how effective would this be'. Oh me of little faith.'   

redhill courtyard

What next?  Many have said 'Now we have done east to west why not north south?'! That will take some praying and planning; we'll let you know.

 

In the meantime, there are 3 more missions planned for this year and we hope to get some more training events in the diary also.  Check our calendar here for updates.

Also, we hope to produce a magazine with many of the images and testimonies from team members.  We will let you know when that is available.  


Day 77 Friday 3 September

Paul reports 'Along the canal we are starting to find people who have already been spoken to by W teams and they are asking us how our walk is going and they already have been given KGP.

E10

David Reports on Friday evening.  'So, this morning while I was getting lost on non existent and badly marked footpaths the rest of the team were doing great work on the doors and chatting outside Himbleton Church. We had two cash donations that we will probably not be able to spend as there is no where on route now to spend it, so the next team may get off to a flying start with food and some funds.

Thanks to Liz for her kindness in opening the Church at Dormston and then bringing us fish and chips and such a warm welcome. We really have been blessed this week with meeting extraordinary people on both sides of the fence, thank you Lord. Also a huge thank you to our prayer support team without whom all this would not have been possible.

Thank you all who have donated either food or funds while we have been walking this week. God bless you all.'

David reports: The West 10 team are now slightly north of route at Fernhill Heath Baptist Church. Our thanks to Fernhill Baptists for accommodating us after we found that Hindlip Church is now effectively part of the police centre for Worchester!  Many thanks, however, to Laura the Church Warden and to Dick, the Chaplain to the Police and Ambulance centre, who put us in touch with Geoff the minister at the Baptist Church who in turn allowed us to sleep here Wednesday night. Thanks also to Roy who, with his wife Bronwyn, welcomed and opened up for us and all today who have supported us in any way.

During the time the team spent in the City centre of Worcester they spoke with may people and saw another life given to Christ.  Please pray for the conversations, for seeds sown to be nurtured and brought to life, particularly the person who recognised Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

E9...walked to Braunston, met a lady on the hill... prayed with her, 'So glad you came by!' she said .. met and prayed with another couple, then on through the village to the church. It was locked, Vicar away, no churchwardens to be found. But a passing couple said 'bang on the door next to the vicarage'. And so we met Nigel and Judith ....passionate Christians and supporters of Via Beata. Now we have a coach house to sleep in and food to eat! And we overlook St Peter's Wolfhampcote ...the end beckons!

We are staying at Knightwick Chapel tonight ready for change-over to week 10 tomorrow noon.
 


 

Day 62 Thursday 19 August


E9
Breakfast delivered by both churchwardens at 7:50am! David and Tim spent a while sitting on a bench in the churchyard...so many conversations, surveys, prayers .... Arthur and Tom were in the doors. The time in the churchyard culminated in an offer of lunch from the wonderful Peggy and Mike (a retired URC minister) .... When told there were actually 4 in the team they didn't bat an eyelid...you all must come! 
We were actually a little late keeping that appointment, which led to the awesome sight of David running - a blue gazelle darting here and there through the estate, seeking the house (and his lunch).
After lunch we were back on the bench and the doors, before supper arrived courtesy of Richard and Val (many thanks) and Chris the churchwarden arrived to share it with us. A good evening feeding back and prayer. 
Onto Braunston tomorrow!

Our spot for Thursday night, St James Church at Bishop Stanton.

Wednesday was absorbed by joining morning prayer and Bible study groups followed by lunch with Mark and Jenny thank you.
Afternoon off for the team. However it's impossible to stop them! Two did some lawn mowing and hedge cutting and then visited    bowling club and pub whilst other was in pubs most of afternoon. 

We held a healing and deliverance service at St Peter's in the evening. 
Perhaps not quite such a rest day, but a great one thank you Lord.

E9

Food to us
Wednesday...Walked to Watford village, paused for lunch and on to Long Buckby. Church locked, no answer from phone numbers on the board. So we waited on God. Phil turned up...he is a councillor, an excellent fellow  and knows everyone. So he found Helen, who kindly opened the school hall and she found churchwarden Richard...together they bought us supper! 
Did some surveys on the street and some prayer walking.


Viabeata SignE9selfie
E9 were destined to spend this night in a church where the clock struck not just the hours, but the quarters too...
However late last night we had a visitor, Sandy, back from holiday who had seen the church lights on and come to turn them off. Tom asked if he could turn off the clock bell. He could...and he did!
Silent Night ..all is calm, all is still.
A good night's sleep
We have awarded Tom the no-bell prize...

Walked on to Ravensthorpe ....but felt the need to press on to West Haddon. Met one guy out for a walk. Arrived at church..it was open! Rang the churchwarden who knew about us because the guy on the walk was her son! 
We can sleep in the church...
Did some door to door...good conversations. But we are missing the 'person of peace' here. No evening meal, but we do have £30 donation...we just need a takeaway!
Evening a lady arrives in the church asking for prayer, and a gentleman passing outside also asks for prayer. 
And then a fish and chip van arrived....the only day he visits this village, the queue is lengthy but we are near the front!
And our lunch for tomorrow has just been brought in by the lady we spoke to earlier!
 



Day 59 Monday 16 August

E9 update

We met a number of people on the Via Beata today.  One lady was delighted to hear she was walking a pilgrimage route though she did not have faith. I asked what we might pray for her and she said ' the emptiness I feel inside'. That is why we Walk the Way.

W9 concert
We spent this morning (Sunday) walking the village... conversations with a number of people; in the afternoon attended two churches that were open for tea and cake. We were blessed by hearing two extraordinary stories of healing! Evening 12 people came to the impromptu  concert, which is superb,  and that too was excellent...a great time of hope, of blessing and of  encouragement for those attending.  Tomorrow we move to East Haddon ..where the church should be open for us to sleep in.

  • A lady who’s partner had dabbled in the occult and subsequently killed himself we talked with her for quite a long time, sharing testimonies and the gospel.
  • A man from Cornwall who had heard the gospel but had questions about denominations and heaven we shared the gospel and prayed with him. Several other people received a blessing and KGP booklets.
  • We walked on to the village of Llowes and met a lady mowing her lawn we talked with her and shared the gospel, she gave her life to the Lord we prayed with her and gave her a bible.
  • A few doors down we talked with another lady outside her house and she gave her life to the Lord she was a church goer and asked for prayer for her brother.

God seems to be doing a new thing in Great Gidding and breathing new life into the old Baptist Church.

On the doors all day (Tuesday) and at least 4 people prayed to receive Jesus with a number of others said they would consider doing so. At the end of the day a lovely local sister in Christ, Jo, saw the blog and close proximity of our team and provided fish & chips to sustain us. Praise God.

The team are still without Keith who remains unwell and very unlikely to join them at all.  However, they have continued on and are spending a couple of days in Builth Wells at the Congregational Chapel.  Lambini has sent in this report.

Beautiful Congregational chapel where there are services every other week sadly only a handful of people attend.
We've had numerous conversations with people out and about, prayed for them, handed out KGP's and shared testimonies. Feeling blessed by the prayer support and many opportunities to share the gospel. 


We held a café style church service with 3 members of the congregation on Sunday morning; a very blessed time for all involved.

E7 Report

The team stayed at Alconbury yesterday from where Jeremy reports.

We shared in the morning service at Alconbury Parish Church. Good conversations on the doors again  in the afternoon with with a variety of people including atheists and Mormons doing surveys and receiving KGP’s. A young lady and a teenage lad prayed the prayer of commitment. Praise God for the work of His Spirit and for His provision.

Team E7 set off


And Jeremy writes:

The team met Marc of Gt Gidding Baptist Church who is letting us stay at the church later in the week.  After meeting at Grace Fellowship “Way Station” in Little Stukeley for the launch service and handover at 12 noon,  walked about 3 miles of the Via Beata to Alconbury.

Met a number of people, did beliefs surveys, good conversations and gave out Knowing God Personally (KGP) tracts.  Did a few doors in Alconbury and one lady prayed commitment prayer to Jesus.

Blessed with food and shelter tonight at Vicarage. Great start. Thank you Lord.
