Heading to Beirut

Well winter has arrived here in the UK with many parts of the country already experiencing snow and Edinburgh expecting it this weekend.
It is a clear sign that Christmas will soon be here. We are very excited about the prospect of our first Christmas in our own home for 4 years.

Last week I was over in Northern Ireland again and was so encouraged by the meetings that I had with pastors, mission leaders and business men. I love going there as everyone is so friendly and there is so much potential. It's also great to get around so many people in a relatively close area.

Now I am gearing up for taking my first team to the ship. In 2 weeks I am flying out with a group of 6 others to Beirut, Lebanon. 2 men from Northern Ireland, a man from South England and a family of 3 from Essex. The idea of the trip is to give them an experience of the ship ministry and really see for themselves what God is doing there. Lebanon should be exciting as there are many opportunities for the ship to get involved in lots of different projects.
I am hoping to do a video blog and post daily updates of the trip.
I'll let you know how you can see those posts before I leave.
