UK Stevenage


We've had a wonderful 2 weeks with the Powers and Longmeadow Evangelical Church. Wanted to share a couple of pics before we head to the USA on wed. Thank you for your prayers. Would ask for added prayer for wisdom in 'going slow' as I'm (Barb) finding I'm getting more tired than I expected to.

Here we are with the expanding Power clan (though Chris and Sarah and girls are 'on' the telephone serving on an island off southern Africa). Dave and Liz lead Longmeadow Evangelical Church. What a blessing to spend time connecting and also experiancing the growth of the families and the church body.
Kara makes friends everywhere she goes. Here with 2 new friends from Longmeadow.
The originally African folks from Longmeadow organise Africa Days from time to time. We were fortunate to be around for one of these afternoons. This pic is of some of the folks who dressed for the occasion.
Time with the Powers always means sightseeing of some sort. Here J is with a statue at Cleopatra's needle in London.

A trip like this would not be OK for a homeschooling mom, without something of educational value:) Here J and Kar are each side of the Greenwich meridian. What a priveledge.
Another awesome event (hopefully the kids will grasp the awesomeness of it at some future time:)... Dave, Mark, J and Kar at a mosaic that is over 2000 years old. This was near a Roman ruin we visited near Stevenage at the place of the first British Christian martyr. We also saw the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre where gladiators would have fought. Pretty cool.
