I have just spent a week with friends in West Wales, first the plan was to just Check out a youth meeting on the Thursday evening, but God had other plans for me, theevening was amazing, i walked into a room with a variety of nations praising one God, wow what an experience, the worship was amazing, such a beautiful sense of Gods presence, it brought me to my knees. Reigniting my relationship with God. I have been feeling distant and alone but this past week God has been showing me that he was with me all the time.
After the Thursday evening I got to stay with a mixture of nations at a house In Llanelli, where both the Koreans and Egyptians made me feel so at home and welcome, this shows a true example of family. I spent some time that evening sharing my testimony with some great people and as I shared with them I realised again how God has always been there for me and even though I didn't seem that way during those times of trial, it was in the storm he was carrying me and this made me think about the current storms of life I'm in and how God is here right with me.
After a great evening of sharing I then went to sleep. The next morning I spent sometime with God seeking direction on what I should do next. I met with some great people who had a passion to serve the youth of Llanelli, we brainstormed some ideas on how we could reach the next generation. It's great to see that there are people out there who haven't forgot about the youth, my passion is to reach them and it's great to meet like minded people. A man approached me and said that God was going to show me what he was calling me to and where the adventure was continuing, I then went for coffee with a few if my new friends and as we walked through the door! there was a sign, adventure continues featuring Kenya.

Wow so I guess the Lord does have a place for me in Kenya, I'm excited about the next part of my journey with him. I was nade to feel at home, their hospitality was humbling and the food was amazing.
On Saturday i got to spend some time with some friends doing evangilism on the streets, i havent done this for a while so to start with was a bit reluctant to do anything but after a while it feel like the good old days again, sharing with people that Jesus loves them.
I then went for a walk through Llanelli, I got to see some amazing views and spend some time with some friends who have become special to me, spending time with the Egyptians has been an honour and an eye opening experience, I have never been somewhere and felt so love and accepted without having to do anything, they are truly like a family to me.
In the evening I attended Pisgah it was amazing to catch up with everyone and visit Pisgah chapel for the first time, I only entered the entrance way and got hot by the presence of God, it was a completely different experience I have ever had, it was like being welcomed home, we had a beautiful time of worship outside and got to pray with some people to be healed.
On Sunday I went to visit a church in Swansea, I loved the way they were completely open for the spirit to move and during worship they ministered to all that needed healing. After church which by the way was another turning point for me as they prayed for the young people to not be ashamed of the gospel and stand up for what they believe in, it was here The Lord was talking to me about how he was going to reach the young people of Llanelli. I'm excited about what God has in store for them all.
After church I returned back to st elli where I got to spend some more quality time with the Egyptians and experienced an amazing prayer meeting where the worship was powerful and passionate prayers, even though there were only a few people in the room it felt like there more a lot more, they sang praise to God with all they have, I was humbled by this, especially when they took the time out to pray for me, for my health and direction, I have enjoyed spending time with the Egyptians and my relationship with Jesus has been reignited.
This week has made me realise that plans are not always going to go the way we expect them but if we put our trust in God and let him lead then everything will work out for the good of his name.
Love & Blessings
