Sozo Festival








Seems like we have been doing a lot of traveling. We are wondering if this is a sign of things to come. Last week we returned from Stafford upon Avon, England from Sozo Festival.

About four months back an old friend from the days that James was in YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Budapest, Hungary, found him on FaceBook. Besides reconnecting he invited us to be part of the staff of an event called Sozo. Sozo is a gathering of the nations for reconciliation, relationship building, prayer (lots of prayer), worship, and seminars.

We helped serve, prayed, led prayer groups, and shared about what God was doing in the nation of Ireland. It was a powerful time.

The first few days were difficult with all the rain and cold being in a tent (this part of the world was not made for camping!), but God blessed us with a couple that took our entire family (and that is a big deal) for three nights so we could be dry.

We built numerous relationships and were blessed by what was going on at the conference. We feel one reason that God brought us was to speak to us about some of the changes that have been stirring in our hearts to be more connected with His work in the nations (Even as we speak of change two women from the Church are praying in France for the nation and if there be any open doors for future ministry...remember them in your prayers).
