We Arrived in London!

We have now arrived in London! The Lord continues to answer our prayers as He has not only brought us over safely but also provided a place for us to live within walking distance to the church which we will move into at the end of November. The Lord also continues to bring in financial support as we have reached 47% of what we need for the first year here. Please continue to pray for financial support to come. Pray for us as we adjust to the time difference over the next few weeks. Finally, pray that we will be a help and a blessing to this group of saints.

The Lord answered our prayers in so many ways to bring us here. We have shared in a past blog post how the Lord provided visas for us in an incredibly short amount of time. We have also had plenty of other blessings to get us here.

To list just a few, first and foremost of the blessings we have received on our way getting to London has been the prayers that were prayed on our behalf and on behalf of GraceLife London. Followed by the blessing of family and friends who housed us as we traveled across the country saved us an immense amount of money (we'll discuss this in a later blog). Along with this was the blessing we received was the opportunity to visit with so many friends and pastors along the way.

After arrived we were welcomed on our first Sunday at GLL with an instillation service for Adam. There was a question and answer time with Adam as he was able to give his testimony of coming to Christ, going to The Master's Seminary, meeting and marrying Dana, and eventually ending up at GLL. The pastors (with a few pastors from other churches) prayed for Adam as he begins to serve as associate pastor. Following the prayer time, Pastor Rick Battenfield preached an encouraging message on 1 Timothy 6:11-14 called "An Exhortation to a Man of God."

The evening ended with a potluck feast and an overall warm welcome for Adam and Dana. The card above was a gift from the church where each family wrote words of welcome to us.

It is such a blessing to be at GraceLife London. Please do not stop praying for us as we seek to bring glory to God in our service to His people.
