Suddenly the house is empty of guests for a week-end of quiet after a very hectic week. The 'Family Week' from Pitsea Friday Club filled the house to overflowing and with Tim & Deb and family in UK we were thankful that they provided they own cook and kitchen workers. David & Liz McCann led the 11 children in two separate children's sessions each evening and the week came to a climax on Friday evening with a BBQ and evening programme for all of us. Children, parents, grandparents, friends and helpers made 30 in all. The week was full of 'happenings', many unplanned and unforeseen, and although we have appeared to live on a very earthly level, dealing with very earthly things, we have had a strong sense that these things were only superficial. The real significance of the week has been an invisible spiritual work that God has been doing. Satan doesn't relinquish his territory easily and we have been caught up in the cross fire of two kingdoms fighting for the possession of precious, immortal souls. We believe that future days and all eternity will reveal the overwhelming power of God and His grace in the hearts and lives of some of all ages who where with us this week.Just at present we feel weak and drained but those 'who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they will mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint'.
