Merry Christmas!

Our visit to London is coming to an end. We just arrived in London from York yesterday after spending some time with the gang at Calvary Chapel York and some of the Bible college students there. Our goal was to learn more about some of the details we'll need to know about planting a church in the UK… the bureauocracy we'll wade through as we begin applying for visas, etc… Each person's situation is a little different, so we'll be learning a lot as we step forward. Our time there was very valuable. We really appreciate your prayers in this area specifically!

While we were in York, we also got to visit Calvary Chapel By the Sea in Bridlington. It was really encouraging to be together. We also enjoyed being in the snow on the sea. We had quite a journey getting there from York on a double-decker bus driving through the night in the heavy snow.

Thank you again and again for your prayers during this time. Let us know how we can pray for you too! We've been warned that the spiritual battle in the UK is brutal. Our hearts desire is to trust God's calling and that he will lay the stones each step of the way, in his time and perfect plan.

God bless you! Merry Christmas!

Update from York!

Now we are in York! We are relaxing after a days snowy journey from London where we are staying in the York Calvary Chapel Bible College's dorm accommodations. We're excited to be here!

While we're here we hope to learn more about logistics of moving, visas, church planting in the UK, and other important information we don't realize we need to know :) We are thankful for those who have more experience than us who can share some wisdom as we look forward.

Thank you for your encouragement and prayers whilst we've been away. We miss you!

Thus says the LORD to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
2 Chronicles 20:15

We have the video working!

Here's an idea of what's going on here. We're blessed by your prayers!

We're here!

Hey everyone!

We're all here safely, and feeling great! The one thing that's been tricky to figure out is the blog, but I promise we'll get video up soon.

It's been a blessing for us to be here together and start to see our vision coming together. We have spent some time just getting to know people around Greenwich, and well as spotting a few potential locations. The poorer economy makes it a good time to be looking for a place to rent.

Thank you for your prayers. We look forward to getting some video up and we'll be working on that today.

God bless you!

Luke
