UK Creationfest


The team has arrived in Cornwall. Though we had a few passport glitches, He was faithful. We have a team of 15 from Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. 13 girls and 2 brave guys. Zac Archuleta from King of Kings/Reliance also has joined us along with a team from Costa Mesa. The park is done and ready to skate on Friday. They expect 40,000 people to come through the festival doors this week. The Lord's timing is perfect as He released a feature on Christian Skaters on BBC just this past Monday. Check it out here

This piece was shown all around the globe. Although it was not produced by a believer, we know the Lord will use it.

Today we will travel around Cronwall. Our prayer for today is 1 Kings 18:37, Please answer me, so these people will know that you are the LORD God, and that you will turn their hearts back to you.

I read an older study that said "In a large 2006 August poll of year 9 and 10 teenagers in Cornwall, only 19% said that they 'have a religious faith'6. It seems certain that if these teenagers reflect the future (only 22% said they believe in God), religious affiliation is going to continue to drop. A wider mori poll commissioned by the British Library found that nearly half of teenagers in Britain are atheists (2007)7." This has been only the decline since. Churches have been changed into mosques, night clubs, etc. A country that once sent out more missionaries than any place in the world is spiritually dead.

The evidence can be seen through the emails we recieved in response to the BBC segment. Once said, "It is a shame that you people have to brain wash children the way that you do. Teaching people living in a real world about an imaginary friend is not a good thing to do. It does them more harm than good." So I asked you Lord, Please answer me, so these people will know that you are the LORD God, and that you will turn their hearts back to you. Use us in mighty ways at the festival and our travels. Keep our team unified so that our love for one another might be so apparent that they see the love of Christ. May our actions be in such a way that we might be a bright lights so that they may see your goodness and love for them in a way they have never seen it before.

Please join us in praying!
