God is moving in Scotland

we are now into our second week of outreach and first week of tour.
we started off on sunday with a time of worship and prayer and preparation with all the teams and from there we have hit the ground running!!

 mostly our team has been helping out GX international set up all the ramps etc for the school assemblies and ushering and doing some administration at the shows.
we also have had the opportunity to talk with people who have responded to the gospel when it is presented.

Yesterday was our first show as GX, so the first time dancing for me in a while. I also had the opportunity to share some of my story and what God has done in my life. I really felt the burden God had for the people in Alva, in Scotland and felt the responsibility of sharing the Truth for those who really need to hear it.
 It is always such a privilege to share the goodness, faithfulness, grace and love of God my father in my life. God uses our stories to speak to people and he moves through our words to draw people to himself.

 It was a powerful evening and the presence of God was definitely in the building. Many many young people came forward to respond to the gospel, wanting to give their lives to God, and they had the opportunity to meet with local people who can follow up with them for the next few weeks.


It is so encouraging to see young people in scotland hungry for God and to see seeds planted in their lives. Now we just have to continue to pray that what God has begun in their lives will continue.

The response was amazing! and its only the first show! So i am expecting bigger and better things the rest of our time in Scotland.

there is a time to DANCE....



...and it feels GREAT!

sometimes you don't realise how much you have missed something until you start doing it again, and i have realised i have missed dancing a lot!

It feels great to be back with friends in GX, dancing in Scotland to share the Gospel.

I love that God is a God of creativity and He puts tat creativity within us, to bring Glory to Him. 
I really think He is going to use the dancing on this tour to challenge so many in the ways they are living their lives and to draw them close to Himself and it is awesome to be a part of that!

It is a real Joy and priviledge to dance for MY KING!

Every testimony is an invivtation

This is a phrase i have heard a lot in the last few months... and i Love it! 

Dear Ceri, you are invited to.......... 
Seek God for the storeis you hear from others to be a reality in YOUR life.

i have to ask do i accept this invivtation?
EVERY TESTIMONY....every story of God's 
goodness,
faithfulness, 
provision, 
healing,
restoration, 
breakthrough, 
revelation is an opportunity for me to go after the same thing!

 yet i think there are times when i still don't recognize that someone's example of this could also be seen in my life. Yes God works and moves in people's lives  in a lot of different ways, but when i see His power in someone's life there is no reason i can doubt that He can and will do similar in mine.
It might not look exactly the same but every testimony of him working should fill me with so much hope and a hunger to see Him do it in me. Its not selfishness, its not greed to see God, its not wrong, its just a hunger to see more of God moving in my life. I don't want to sell myself short on all the fullness God has made available to me in this life through His sacrifice, its as much about now as it is about the age to come!

so i say every testimony and story is an INVITATION. an invitation
to fight for His promises
to seek His face
to contend for His truth
to pursue Him wholeheartedly.
Its an invitation to go after God above anything else.

Every testimony brings Hope and Faith.
I want to be filled with Hope and Faith everyday and I want my life to give others Hope and Faith every day.
