A new year begins

Hey! Just thought I'd remind you all that I'm still alive. Been away for a week at the eastern region youth summer camp where I was a group leader, lead guitarist, ministry team member, and official photographer. It's been a non stop week, and even quite non stop today, and non stop leading up to New Years with the wedding and what not.... it's been busy recently! :o)

I'll let you all know a bit more about the camp soon, but it was definitely a week to remember full of powerful visitation of the Holy Spirit. It was a great privilege to be leading the 19-20 age group with people from all over the country and beyond and seeing them not only open up to me, but also to the Spirit. It was a pumping atmosphere most of the time too.... these folk between their African culture and their youthful energy do not hold back when it comes to praising God! In England it can often feel like you've got a couple of hundred individuals next to each other who aren't interacting at all, but here it's like everyone is joining in and responding to each other's praise as they dance, shout, and celebrate the greatest truth there is. It's truly corporate worship and it's great stuff.

Like I said, more from that later. Been looking at my calendar along with the church's for the new year and I think I'm going to be pretty frantic for the next four months too! There's visitor after visitor and a trip to Ghana, and possibly a trip to Zambia too. I'm not going to be able to make it to Prayer and Fasting in Cape Town, but I really don't have time for it anyway! Before I know it it'll be June and time to come home. Argh! I still want to go back to Zim for a while, spend some time in Jo'burg, get a week or two in the Cape in some of the township works, hostels, and HIV works that they're doing there as a long established group of churches, and some more besides. I know it will not all fit. I don't know how, or when, but I'm sure I'll end up coming back here even if it is for two weeks at a time!

Anyway, that's enough rambling for now. I dropped someone to the airport at 6am this morning, so I need to sleep. Will touch base with you all soon! Peace!
