We've just spent a pleasant few hours with our friends Andy and Trisha Booth from Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA. They are over in Wales for some holiday time and Andy is leading worship at the Flames of Fire conference which starts on Saturday. Andy is originally from Wales and is a good friend of mine, a trusted colleague in ministry, and their home is my regular stopping off point in the States. We don't get to see much off them over this side of the Atlantic so it was a real pleasure to welcome them to our house.
Andy and Trisha have two gorgeous boys called Jake and Eli, and our daughter Bethan loves them! I'll be in the Ignite venue at Flames of Fire all next week so don't expect any blogs until next weekend unless I manage to get online. Flames of Fire is a great week for Ignite, where we have about 130 or so young people from all over Wales and we soak them in Godly worship, Jesus centred teaching and Holy Spirit ministry. The venue of the Royal Welsh showground in Builth Wells is stunning, unless it rains! It's a demanding and tiring time but very fulfilling- many of our recent gap year team members at Ignite have risen out of Flames of Fire.
GUTTED! I drove past flames of fire on sunday (my last trip from Cardiff to North Wales) and saw all the tents but didn't know what it was all for! If I had known I would have dropped in to say HI! DENIED!
Hope all is well, Cat
