As with most May Day bank holidays of late, I travelled up to Bulstrode, the headquarters of WEC International for their annual open day. The event is used to show what God has been doing through WEC over the past year, as well as provide a breath of fresh Spirit to blow out the Spiritual cobwebs. It was encouraging to hear how the gospel is spreading amongst nations who’s people have suffered greatly in recent times. Missionaries working in Cambodia, China and the Ivory Coast gave accounts of how people are turning to Jesus Christ, with countries like China now sending out missionaries to neighbouring countries, even though this is discouraged by the Chinese authorities. This was contrasted with Western Europe, where material prosperity amongst other things means people no longer think they need anything from God. With all this in mind, we were reminded the gospel of Jesus Christ is for people of every nation.
Finshed the day with a barbeque at Dave’s place, allowing oneself to refuel and relax after a rather packed day. Oh, and the weather was marvellous, unlike last year’s May Day bank holiday!
