Building Bridges.....

Our son Linus will very soon go to London and the Olympic games for a mission trip with YWAM. Many teenagers from all over the world will be going to do missions. This is Linus first real mission trip and it will be a great experience for a 18 years old guy. Please remember him in your prayers. We are praying for safety, guidance and that the mission will have a great Impact on him and that YWAM will have a great Impact on the games.. Many souls can be saved during the games and lets pray that it will be a peaceful event and that the sports and the relationships are the things we will remember God Bless you

Solitude is not about things you do , its about the things you don't do. What do you do when you are in solitude? Don't do things that
