The Fleece was Wet

God is truly GREAT.

This evening there was so much that was good. We've had help offered. We've been assured of prayer support. We were joined by Michelle, who lives in Brookwood and worships at New Life - a prayer warrior. The Sun shone - and when we reached the rec, there must have been 40 or 50 young people, many playing football.

Phil and George were immediately recognised by some of the lads from three weeks back and were welcomed to join in the game. Helen sat on her rug wondering how to open up a chat, and shielding her eyes with the Frisbee - until one of the girls asked if they could play a game with it. Helen's contact was made :o) Helen had with her the seed from a Sycamore tree and earlier she had been thinking how that might grow into a tree. Something that starts so small has the potential to grow really big. Relationships start that way too. Often with just one friendly word.

Before we went out we prayed. There was a clear picture of someone with a guitar. This seemed to be indirectly confirmed by conversations that two of the team had had separately just yesterday. The young people asked for a bbq, so we're thinking about doing this possibly next week if the forecast is good. Most of the crisps and drinks that we took with us this evening went.

By the end of the evening there was little doubt in any of our minds that this is where we're meant to be on Monday nights. If God wants us to lay the fleece a second time, hopefully He'll confirm that with one of our prayer supporters.

God truly is GREAT!
