CITY TEMPLE INDIA TEAM VIDEO.

I've just put a video together for City Temple's updated website. It's of our mission trip to India last July:

CLASSIC ROCK.

On a rare night out with my wife last week, we went to see The Classic Rock Show's live performance of  The Top Ten Best Selling Classic Rock Albums of all time.

Basically, a 10 piece rock band ( top quality guys who are also the tribute band Brit Floyd) performed one song each from the 10 albums and then did a selection of other great classic rock songs.

I haven't enjoyed myself so much for ages, seeing as I love classic rock! For your info the Top Ten albums were ( in no particular order):

Fleetwood Mac- Rumours

Elton John- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Led Zeppelin - IV

Meatloaf- Bat out of Hell

Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run

Pink Floyd- The Wall

AC/DC- Back in Black

Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon

The Eagles- Greatest Hits

The other classic tracks included songs by Boston, Supertramp, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Walsh, The Who, Genesis, and more by Dire Straits, The Eagles and Led Zeppelin.

A similar tour of Christian Classic Rock would be an interesting prospect. Any Christian rock tribute bands out there?

PRAY FOR THE NEW BABY BOY IN RAJAHMUNDRY.

My friend Pastor Prasad has let me know that his brother Prabhakar, and sister in law Kranthi, have had a baby boy. Unfortunately he is suffering from severe breathing difficulties and is undergoing treatment on his lungs. Please pray for him- I can't tell you what he is called as they don't name a child for a few months or so. At the moment he is  'Babu' meaning little boy.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

I'm at home enjoying Christmas with my family- wife Gillian, daughter Bethan, son James and daughter in law Tiffany all the way from Texas, daughter Rachel, son in law Chris, and grandchildren Hannah and Joe, plus my mum and dad. We have given Tiffany a rich variety of new Christmas experiences- pantomime, rugby, scotch eggs, roast chestnuts, to name but a few!

Off to church on Christmas morning.

John 1:14 : So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father.

Just received this from Lott Shudde, Third Day tour manager and good friend:

All the tour personnel gathered on the stage at our last concert on the tour in Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, Arizona.

FINAL TOTAL FOR GATEWAY SCHOOL PAINTINGS.

Thanks to the generosity of Third Day's VIP fans we have raised well over $15,000 from the silent auction of children's paintings. This is a fantastic result and the money will go towards the upkeep of the Gateway Children's Home. Children will be living in the home from Christmas Day onwards.
