Hello everyone
Thank you all so much for your prayers, support and
encouragement for the Liverpool Half Marathon which took
place yesterday (Sunday 29th March). I was one of a dozen or
so people from Betel of Britain who completed the course,
and I stayed at Betel on Saturday night - the hardest bit
was getting up early to travel to Liverpool just a couple of
hours after the clocks went forward!
It was a beautiful sunny day, and the course was very
enjoyable - up past the Anglican cathedral, through several
parks, and the home stretch along the river.
My time was a lot quicker than I'd been expecting - 1 hour
38 minutes - prayer-assisted, obviously! Also I can honestly
say that my dodgy knee is now better than it has been for a
couple of years: as my training went on, my knee just got
better and better - another gracious answer to prayer I
believe! |

Thanks also for all the
generous donations to the work of Betel that so many of you
have made or pledged; it's hugely appreciated, and a mark of
our vision and action as a church to support Christian
mission and welfare in our region and nation. I think I've
just about reached the target of £100 per mile, but
I'll confirm that when I know for sure! It's not too late to
donate - either in person or via the web site

- though for technical reasons the website can't take
donations for the next few days. I'll also have gift aid
forms for those of you who can fill them in. Cheques to
'Betel of Britain' - thanks.
Please keep on praying for Betel - its leaders, workers, and
members - that Jesus will finish what he's started and make
new men and women of
all of them, and of all of us too!
With love and many thanks once again,
Gavin |
