3...2...1...and they're off!

This is it; the moment we've all been waiting for. The Olympic Games have finally arrived here in London! Today's opening ceremony is rumored to be a most spectacular event, one which I am thrilled to be present for. I leave with a team of 15 this afternoon to begin our outreach within the city of London for a period of ten days. We will be working with a church, which is relatively closely located to the Olympic Village. We will be running a cafe dedicated to serving the public in the area, many of whom live in poverty in this particular burough. We will also be helping out in a local senior citizen's home and prayer walking as well. This is a particularly rough area of London, an area where the excitement and joy of the Games has seemingly past over or been forgotten here. The story of the church we'll be working in is one of redemption in of itself. 

As I pack my bags, once again, and type up my last blog before I head on out, I cannot contain my excitement. I am so thrilled to see and be apart of what God is doing in this city, in this country, in this nation. How cool is it that the world is quite literally flocking to my doorstep as I type, huh? I can't get over it! GAHHH!!!
