Cross Vigil
DAY 30: Monday 13 October
No sooner had we arrived when we were met with supporters
and encouragers and Boneyard. We had been chatting about some of the
ongoing work leading up to the Human Peace Wall when a tourist came
across the road for a chat. It turned out he is a pastor from South
Africa, Pastor Patrick Moffat. We had a good chat for about 15 before
he had to leave. He had shared with me that he knew two Elim Missionaries
in India, Johnny and Heather Prentice, and was then surprised when I
told him I was their pastor!
Shortly after he left Johnny and Heather turned up. If
only he had stayed a while longer they would have met. Anyway Johnny
and Heather stayed for a couple of hours and kept the chat going. One
of the young men who stopped on their bikes on Day 16, Gerrard, came
by again for a chat and to tell that he and several of his friends are
coming with him from the Falls community to the Human Peace Wall on
Saturday. He is also looking forward to coming to New Life when we move
into City Life Centre.
Others came by; some to discuss community projects and
the ongoing building project. Pastor Tommy McGuicken, a longstanding
friend and colleague stopped for a photo shot. Thus ended Day 30 with
10 more to go. So the countdown begins tomorrow. Thanks again for your
prayers and your support.
