BETHAN GRADUATES.

Yesterday Bethan graduated from Swansea University with a 2:1 honours degree in American Studies and Politics. Gill and I, and my mum and dad, joined Bethan at the ceremony in the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea, which was presided over by Rhodri Morgan, one-time leader of the Weksh Assembly, and now chancellor of Swansea Uni. In the evening, Rachel, Chris and Hannah joined us for a celebratory steak dinner in a restaurant back in Cardiff. A good celebration of a reward well earned!

THE MACEDONIAN CALL.

One of my favorite passages to preach from is Acts 16.9+. It's when Paul has a vision about a man from Macedonia saying 'Come over here and help us'. Imagine the thrill I got when asking the Elim International Mission Dept. for guidance as to a country in Europe that City Temple could have some impact in when they replied "Macedonia".

So Steve Ball and I spent 3 days in Macedonia recently, with Oasis Elim Church in Stip, and this is a video greeting from their pastors- Angel and Zoki. Zoki especially is a big Third Day fan, and he's wearing a tee-shirt I gave him!.
