BOOMBOX BARGAIN
We have finally received our last package for PrayerHouse 2013, just in time for the Bless Team to leave for Spring Harvest tomorrow.
Chez loves it. We love it. Do you?

A couple of weeks back I visited The Bristol Bike Project and took some snaps. I saw this on the wall somewhere:
“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand”
Great quote.

Here at Bless we are pretty much in love with pallets. We think they are great. They are so useful & the burn well too.
Justin (@Juststuijv) made a sweet pallet kitchen shelf in Rotterdam.
Why don’t you tell us the best thing to make with a reclaimed pallet and we will make our favourite over at Bless HQ a la France!
Tweet us your ideas @blessnetwork #palletable

Sometimes simple is sufficient
Everything stripped away
Raw. Uncomplicated. Childlike
Bedsheets unceremoniously draped over an array of furniture and weighed down with big books and pegs
Forming a kids den
A Holy space
A tabernacle
Gods perfect presence
A scrap of orange paper taped to the wall
‘Wall of thankfulness’
Ice cream, hand outlines and stickmen adorn the wall
‘Thank you for my friends’
God of the simple things will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent

Emma made a den in the prayer room to remind us to have a child like faith and to pray simple and expectant prayers.
It is so great.

City Highlight #1
Green Light District:
Last night three teams spread out across Caen with backpacks of clothes and arms full of flasks to meet the homeless. Lou and I prayer walked the cities streets.
Starting at the Gare de Caen we headed straight up Av. du 6 Juin to the Chateau, passing through 11 sets of traffic lights. As we approached each intersecting road:
RED turned to GREEN

We came alongside an elderly woman and her dog waiting to cross.

We came alongside a man in a hurry.

RED turned to GREENWe figured we had mad light changing skills but on reflection perhaps God was teaching us something about our move to the city.
Revelation 3:7 says ‘What he opens no one can shut and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut’.
ACE.

This afternoon we are heading into Caen to spend some time with the city’s homeless community. We will be armed with hot soup, donated winter woolies and some homemade postcards that can be posted back to Bethanie with their prayer requests.
A separate team will be camped at Thierry and Mylenes house praying for the city and for those of us out on the street.
We are hoping that this evening will be the first of a number of opportunities to bless the city and create lasting relationships with the local people.
It’s going to be great. I’m also pretty nervous. Have a pray.
