Panama -> England -> Norway

Our outreach has been a bit of a whirlwind so far! We left Panama over a week ago for West Sussex, England. We did some prayer walking / encouragement / evangelism in the nearby community of Crawley. Our group did a lot of work building up the YWAM Holmsted Manor base where we stayed. Mike and I had the opportunity to help get the base's new website up (http://www.ywamholmsted.org). We picked over $2,000 dollars worth of apples for winter storage from the base's orchard. One of our team members did some major hedge trimming, others cleaned out buildings that are soon going to be an on-base Christian preschool, and a few other local outreaches were done as well. The base staff were really encouraged by the skills we brought and we were really encouraged by their joy! We're all pretty sure God orchestrated our coming together.

One of our favorite things about England (other than the general beauty and loveliness) - the abundance of reasonably priced and delicious gluten free items for sale for Mike's enjoyment!



We also got a day off in London - Here's Mike and me in front of Buckingham Palace. 


England being beautiful. Mike took this photo on the Holmsted base.
