Newday 2010
Alison Roberts, Unite
We had a great time listening to God and finding out what a difference He can make in our lives if we just let Him! The young people really mixed well and there were relationships started as well as strengthened. Lynda Lee fed us with some amazing food and coped well with varying dietary requirements! Thank you for all your prayers - God provided patience, grace & humility to enable 70 people to live together for 7 days (four days of which were pretty foul weatherwise!). The rain was torrential on one of the days and we had to re-arrange two of the tents after flooding: the wind was so strong it blew a marquee over on another section of the site!
Amongst all that mayhem God did amazing things with the people we took - healing 1 person of a lactose intolerance he'd had for many years, healing someone of an ankle injury; 5 people committed their lives to Christ for the first time, 4 re-committed their lives to follow Christ and many people had their love for Him revived & renewed
