Why?
After being asked would I consider being interviewed about EBC’s connection / commitment to Stukeley, I starting thinking about the WHY. Why do I desire to continue to go back to Stukeley, England, United Kingdom?
It is the people that work at the corner store (one young woman that I got to know well after four years of picking up the newspaper her store every day).
It is the people that live next door. It is the children that play next door.
It is the people that walk past your house each day walking their dog.
It is the people that work at the local gas station.
It is the people that work at the local coffee shop.
It is the people that work at the charity shops.
It is the young mothers that you see daily out at the shops struggling with children and packages.
It is the plumber that comes to your house to repair the leaking faucets.
It is the homeless that you see in the underground train (the tube) stations.
It is the elderly couple who love to stop and talk.
It is the people that Jesus loves; HE has called me to show His love to them.
Jesus has drawn me to this country and the people that live there. He has given me a love for the country and the people. Most people living in the UK today feel no need for God or Jesus in their lives. He wants to give them a life of joy and peace and FREEDOM.
Paul and Jepye are over in Stukeley serving our Jesus and telling others about this free gift He has for them. I want to support and encourage them as they continue to build relationships with all the above mentioned people. If you want to help in anyway, please let someone at EBC know. We are planning a trip next summer (end of July or first part of August). We plan to do a week long VBS for the local children. Please pray and ask God if you are to be a part of this ministry.
In Exodus chapter seven Moses told the Lord that he couldn’t speak…why should God send him? I feel the same; I have never considered myself articulate. But God can use all of us. He will give you the words, the talent, the money, whatever it is that you feel is holding you back. I would love to have fellow laborers in this journey. Matthew 9:37
