Can't stop, got to fly...

Not posted anything in a little while, not for lack of activity i can assure you. In fact the main reason i haven't posted has been due to over-activity: World Cup, Glastonbury, assignments, meeting churches... and preparing for a 3 1/2 week trip to Haiti with charity Hands of Hope. No real time to comment on any of that stuff right now, proper comment will follow (in about 3 1/2 weeks).

This post is a plea to those of you who pray, or indeed to those of you who simply wish others well. Here's a prayer guide that team members have been given, which i share with you by means of invitation. The two teams spoken of are two teams of 4, one of which leaves Wakefield in about 10 minutes (1am 14-07-10) with me in it, and the other leaves in about a weeks time.

I'll be back soon and let you know all about it.

- The first team who leave UK on 14th July. The second team who leave UK on 25th July.
- Safe flights and connections all the way up to Port de Paix de Paix in northern Haiti especially in the little 16 seater plane!
- That any impending BA strike or volcanoes will not affect the schedules, outbound or return.
- The work that the two teams will be engaged with – placing a concrete roof on a 2 storey building. Liaising with the partners and making future plans.
- Safety on the building site with no injuries, safe travel on the roads, good health for all.
- Safe transport and passage of the medical supplies and funds for the partners with no problems at customs.
- Great team spirit, where the team quickly gels together and works as one.
Continued good and strengthening relationships with our partners - Bethanie Baptist Church, House of Hope Children’s Hospital, Beracca Vocational School.
- Real understanding of the needs of the partners and communities in which they are located, especially in the aftermath of the earthquake.
- Good communication with the partners. Real insight into what Hands of Hope need to do alongside the partners in the future.
- Openness to the moving of God’s Spirit in what ever unexpected direction He might take us in.
- Family and work and responsibilities left behind.
- That we all have a great time and be good for each other.
- We will be ready to hear and see what God has to show/teach us
- We will use what we learn when we return home
- Good safe trip back (23rd July, 7th August) with lots of amazing memories.
- For the Spirit of the living God to fall upon the people and country of Haiti.
