One World, One God: Day 2

Recap...

Base Camp was one of the most interesting and stretching times of discipleship and team-building I have ever experienced. The teaching by the iGo staff - especially the words that AC shared about Ezekiel 36 and that Brad shared about Mephibosheth rocked me hard. The best of it all was our team time with the combined Cardiff/London JSI's. It really drew us together and put the Lord in front of us as our banner and our glue. One spirit. One God and Lord of all. Beautiful.

Day 1: After a pleasant plane ride, I was picked up by my beloved team and the supervisors yesterday. We arrived at our flat and hardly sat our bags down before we were on the road, seeing London for the first time. It hardly felt real! Then, we ate at a Turkish restaurant in White Chapel. Coming from the kid who used to refuse to eat sauce on my pizza and just started eating guacamole in the last year, it was some of the best food I've ever tasted. The Father has planted some adventurous spirit in me to go and do and try new things I'd never considered before, especially not in the states. It makes me think of Paul talking of being all things to all people so that perhaps some may hear the Gospel. To end the day off, we had some sweet, sweet, team time with the Father.

Today was my second day in London! After time in the Word team today and training, we went on a world religions tour. We toured two Hindu temples and a Sikh guwdawar (temple). I did a lot of pring and just getting a better understanding of these religions and the way it fits into the culture here. I also wore a head covering and rode on a double decker bus for the first time...but not simultaneously! Even as I was reading the Sikh scripture on their screen, my thoughts were immediately turned to the Father and His love and power and worth. Forsaking all else, may His glory by my goal. Then, we ate delicious Afghan food and met a friend's family. Great food...and lots of laughter. Can you buy Naan in the States?
