Radio

Just started listening to Radio One with Chris Moyles and they're talking about the earthquake that happened last night (or this morning for me). Hope everyone's OK btw! Anyway they're going to play earthquake related songs all morning and someone txt in and suggested "What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her head..." haha! I miss being able to listen to Chris Moyles in the morning but at least I still get to hear it in the afternoons between lessons.
Jackie Pullinger was interesting on Sunday. But I am never getting up at 6:30am for church again, I was so tired afterwards. We wanted to go to the 9am service because we knew the 11am service would be packed. She started the talk by speaking in tongues and then someone interpeted them. Then some people prayed too and then went to talk to the kids. The talk was very blunt and Jackie was not how I expected her at all. She talked about how she believes that for every cry for help God has an answer. She also talked about those poor people we should be helping- particularly the Indonesian and Filipino maids here. I'm sure the video will be put up on The Vine website soon. We also went to the follow up service at 6pm lead by Ps John Snelgrove who talked about the weak people we need to help and how we can do that. So if anything has persuaded me to do the Beijing mission trip it's this Sunday.
We also went to another church in the afternoon called Solomon's Porch. It's a small church held in Sheung Wan. I think it's good to hear other speakers and meet other Christians. You don't realise how much of a rut you've gotten into until you go to a different church and see how they worship. We met some really nice people. A few of them are part of YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Yuen Long and have invited us over for dinner sometime which is cool!
Will write more tonight, got work to do!

Hi! Yes, we are all OK here in Countesthorpe after the 'earthqwake'! Although it did wake us up as the house was shaking!
It's good to hear that you are visiting other churches, experiencing different styles of worship and meeting some more Christians.
Have a good weekend ~xx~
