E-News

Hi friends, i haven't blogged for a while so i thought i'd let you know i am still alive. I am back in Spain now and raring to go. I had a great time back in the UK and it was nice to wear a jumper again. it was great to catch up with friends at fraisthorpe camp, myself and duncan partook in the wendy waffle experience again (oh how i will miss those waffles but not the after effects). it was great to see Iain and Rach again and my new friend Rusty. it was great to see the cov lot aswell, including claire roberts whom still to this day will deny ever putting eggs in my wellies, she wasn't to know i borrowed them from the Rev Gordon Neale. along with a sprinkling of jokes from Andy Lenton it was a great week.

God did some amazing acts in peoples lifes i feel honoured that he allowed me to witness great transformations.

Back in ole espana now, this morning i popped down to the casa de cultura to see about doing some spanish lessons in september, i will need to go and sign up on september the 2nd i'm praying that there will be room, as spaces are at a premium.

A young lady called berenice will be coming to do work experience with us at the family fellowship for a few months. Berenice heralds from our elim church in thonon, i know her pastor Luc and i met her last year on mission to france. please pray for her as she arrives in spain early september.

Our church building is currently out of use due to renovations taking place in the local community. it has been strange not having any sunday meetings, however this last sunday myself and the Coley clan went to a spanish church in furengirola, i really enjoyed it and they certainly know how to worship.

The radio programme goes from strength to strength. last week we had an email from an athiest who said he would normally turn off a show like ours but continued to listen and liked so much he emailed us with a theological question. you can listen to the show in the Uk please allow for time difference, listen online at www.talkradioeurope.com "2 Rev's an hour" on talk radio europe.

wedding plans are going well all i need to do is find a suit of armour and i am ready. Naomi is about to embark upon a new job and we would appreciate your prayers.

financially: i thank God for his continued favour upon this mission. I am always looking for more support both in finances and genuine prayer. if you can help please contact me or elim missions. my Email address is Davehodgo@aol.com or to email the show 2revs@thefamilyfellowship.co.uk
my moblie number is 0034 695 115 496.

many thanks to my existing supporters without whom i could not be doing what i am doing here in benalmadena. may God richly bless you.

Fraisthorpe camp

On wednsday i left the fraisthorpe field for the last time, after so many years of fun food and fellowship and so many memories of making lasting friendships and meeting new people every year. but fraistorpe is more than that, it has something no other camp has, something unique to fraisthorpe camp..... a kebab making machine!!! in all seriousness we saw God moving in amazing ways amongst the young adults and i'm sure we were not the only tent to have experienced it. I'm reluctant if i'm honest to move campsite but i'm sure the new place will be good, because its the people that make it. a special mention to Sandra hutchinson who mentioned that she is an avid reader of this blog, hi San.

i spent the middle weekend speaking at all three services in coventry elim, it was great to see you guys again. its my sending church and it feels like i have arrived home when i'm there.

I'm back in Derby today visiting my family, then i fly back to Spain on saturday to see Naomi whom i have missed an aweful lot over these last 2 weeks.

God is good
