Christian Missionaries

Thursday, July 21, 2005

Hello all that read this blog! Apologies for the delay in updating - been a tad busy. Alex and John have had there week here and they were a right blessing to us. Very willing to help and get involved.

We had good worship and prayer times with them and had fun hanging out and playing uno (particularly splash uno).

Last Thursday night Tim & Charissa and gang came from their Eden project in Swinton, Manchester to chill, eat Ice Cream and have fun. We headed back to the UK on the Friday with Alex and John on the same flight and leaving Jess to look after the house whilst the 9 Edeners were here.

We said our goodbyes at East Midland (nicely bumping into Gareth - huddle leader Form Coventry), were kindly picked up with Liz Hunt and sped up to Sheffield for Simon and Cat's wedding. The weekend was absolutely fantastic and knackering. The wedding was amazing and it was a real joy to be a part of it. It was great catching up with some of the people that we love dearly and I thought that Ronnie Daye would make a great evangelical tele-evangelist. His sermon was great.

We came back on Sunday evening courtesy of a Mr Niblock ride (and pre that a great Sunday lunch with Chris and Susan - thankyou soooooo much). But I cam back very worn out and run down - boo. God provided us with a minibus on Monday so after leaving Jess at Ciampino for a week's tarvel in Europe (well England and France) we all headed to a gorgeous beach about an hour away. Oh yeah we also picked up Justin a great guy from Florida who God has really put Rome on his heart - he's staying with us for a fortnight. The beach was awesome and the sea was like a warm bath. Been trying to get over my cold for the past couple of days.

About to head into Rome to listen to God and to meet up with Salvo a very cool guy who is a leper who has come to know the lord and is just awesome. He begs at the top of Via Nazionale and is inspirational. Please pray for him.

Other news - Cinzia and Marco headed to Sicily for Cinzia's operation - a success praise God. It was all down to the hospital in Rome who didn't sow her up properly = 9 months of agony. Cinzia felt great after the operation, however, today is in a lot of pain.

Also Chiara (Debra's mum - this is particularly for the Oxford Vineyard guys) went into hospital here in Rome a few days ago and the suspected tumour was just calcium from the water - how cool is that, I love it.

Please pray for us as we get bills sorted and removals orgainsed. Oh yeah we are off to see U2 in the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night - Andrea's first ever concert.

New pictures above also a couple from the weekend before last when Andrea and I popped in on my parents and God parents in Umbria.
