THE VISION I have been given the same vision three times now, and I know this time I must be obedient and act on what I have been shown. The vision has been shown to me since I attended the Faenol Festival in Bangor, and the event as you will see, will be somewhat similar. The vision I have had is to organise an event for Christians, hoping that many non-believers would attend and be saved. This has come at an opportune time, as the Faenol Festival is holding their last festival in 2009, which frees up the weekend and site for 2010. I see the event being held on a Sunday (August Bank Holiday weekend 2010). I envisage it being a full day, starting with all age worship and preaching at the start; seminars until mid afternoon; singer / band; preaching and prayer; then finishing with a band (between 7 & 10); and then close. Along the outside of the arena, there will be shops, refreshments, seminar areas, information areas, prayer areas, welcoming committees and first aid. We need prayer support, helpers / volunteers, time etc. If you feel you can help, please contact me Contact: Amanda Lawson 07788 494948 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

AWESOME! http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ee73e63418003b47d7d5
A skit performed at the 2006 annual Smoky
Mountain Winterfest event held every year near Gatlinburg, Tenn., has taken the
video websites YouTube and GodTube by storm. The skit depicts a soul
straying and desperately returning to Christ after being caught up by the sins
of sexual impurity, the party lifestyle, bulimia, self-mutilation and deception
that leads toward suicide. Christ, with loving power, fights the darkness
and rescues the young woman out of her bondage. Written by mission
director Tim Houston from Baltimore, Md., the video
communicates the message that we don’t have to be lost without hope in our sins,
separated from Christ. The authenticity of that To view the video, click on the link above or log onto www.youtube.com and search “Lifehouse skit.” The video may also be viewed on www.GodTube.com. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
