Lord send YOUR Fire!


Latest news – September 2006

Fires caused havoc in Greece towards the end of the summer. We were on holiday in Halkidiki at the time and stood in horror as we watched a blaze start and then spread to cover 4000 hectares of land across the bay on the first finger... Tragically, 2 lives were lost. At the same time a huge fire engulfed the Peloponese region in the south of Greece destroying 5000 hectares.

A week later back home a family apartment went up in flames – just 50 metres from our home. 2 days later all 3 legs of Halkidiki were again ablaze – much smaller fires this time.

The sad thing about the Halkidiki fire was that it was an act of arson and we saw it start – the authorities were told but the newspapers reported that because it was raining in Thessaloniki, they thought the rain would move down there – so no fire appliances went for about 6 hours!

For us this is a prophetic picture!

Fires are starting in Greece – small at first but they will spread – these fires are in the hearts of a few. Some think that they will just go out, but when it’s too late, the blaze will have taken hold. God is on the move here.

Lord give us this nation – cause the heart of this land to change.

Personally

We had a great week away seeking the Lord – Doors continue to open, hearts are changing…

This week a group of German guys join us for some Men of God days…

Lynn & Carolyn are off to Australia next week….
