Update

Purpose driven life course:
after the alpha course, i decided to take the same group of people through a purpose driven life course, this has just come to the conclusion, next week we are going to have a chinese meal to celebrate the end of the course. we are going to continue meeting in this group, with maybe a small break over august.

Youth Group:
last week we had 4 young people in our youth house group they all seem to be enjoying themselves and learning more about their faith

Prayer Group:
yesterday we went and prayed around Benalmadena pueblo (village) this is a place further in land from Benalmadena Costa where the church is situated. Benalmadena pueblo is home to the area's Mayor and ayuntamiento (town hall) so we felt it was time we prayed for the authorities that govern Benalmadena and Arroyo de la miel.

Brand new Spanish lessons:
for those brits (myself included) who cannot speak the local lingo, there is now a Spanish class at our church. it all began with a conversation over a coffee with some of our congregation, Naomi agreed to be our teacher (a fine teacher she is too) i know she reads this blog. so from next week this blog is in Spanish (joking of course).

Wedding
God has really shown favour to myself and Naomi, without his help we wouldn't have got the wedding venue of the year. We are getting married in a restored medieval/moorish Castle in the Spanish countryside. We looked around knowing it was far beyond our financial capabilities, it was a bit like looking around harods and only having a fiver to spend. but God has blessed us and we still need more miracles but i'm so grateful to him for blessing Naomi and myself it such a lavish way. We tie the knot on 21st november 2009.

Back in the UK, i am flying back to the uk in a few weeks time for 2 weeks. i am resuming my role on the youth team at fraisthorpe camp and preaching in the 3 services at coventry elim on the middle saturday of camp.
