A Letter from Canada

Greetings Qday Lee,

Where does one begin on our journey. My wife had a wonderful conversation with your wife and we are excited about the prospect of coming.

I have been greatly impacted by the life of Rees Howell's for a number of years now as I noted as have millions of others. I have been watching the transformation of BCW (http://bcwales.org/) and it's May 25th celebration. I have felt very very strongly that God wants to impart something to us as we walk in places where Mr. Howells resided and increased in faith through his anointed obedience. "To be made willing." Praise the Lord.

In our search recently we discovered your ministry and passion. We have been challenged by the Lord to 'downsize' and learn what it means to live in community. We have just sold our home and have given away most of our things, though it's amazing how much one accumulates over the years. Your ministry seems like a wonderful fit. We are also very interested in your school and Israel has been a nation the Lord has been speaking to us about and have been support many initiatives at reaching the Jewish community to Christ . There are, as you can see, many pieces to this puzzle and it is quite a challenge to keep this brief.

At this point we are interested in what you are doing and would prefer to arrive when you have space available and so keeping connected would be good.

We Pastored for 15 years and have stepped out of the ministry for almost as long. There is much the Lord has been doing in our life. Hearing the Lord and practicing His presence is precious to both of us.

We have read through your website and, as I indicated, are very excited at what God is doing in your midst. We have been to Wales 3 times as my wife has had family there. (They are all gone now) Her Father was born in Llanelli (he is 96 years of age and living not to far from us) and it is just like the Lord to continue our walk where our own heritage exists.

Presently we are looking coming the first week of July. Your wife had indicated that you usually have single people only and wanted to make sure that having a couple stay with you before we proceed future. The testimonies regarding your school are very powerful and it seems to line up perfectly with where God is moving us.

Thank you for taking the time to email during your trip. I look forward to hearing from you again and maybe we could speak via phone when you return.

By the way I am interested in your statement, "We arrived yesterday with an interesting story." Does that mean something interesting happened along the way before or during your trip to Israel? I love to hear about peoples journey's... and discover what God is doing all around the world.

In Him,

Mark Gillespie
