Amsterdam, Paris, and $5,000 of Equipment Stolen
Tue, 25 Sep 2007 5:26
We had a four-hour train trip to Amsterdam . It was during the trip that Carol (our ministry photographer) showed a picture of me posing with a foul-mouthed female heckler. I said to Carol, "Wait until See sues that." That's when I realized how much I needed some sleep. We arrived in the city around 10:00 PM, met with a few enthusiastic helpers (that had driven nine hours all the way from Denmark ) and went out for a late-night dinner. I was able to get an amazing 7 ½ hours sleep, then we met with ten helpers and had breakfast. It was pouring with rain, and it was forecast to rain all day. So we split camera crews. Trish went to an indoor mall to do some one-to-one interviews, and I went with the other crew to film the foundational script for the program. That went well until the last 30 seconds, when it started pouring with rain. It was almost comical. I carried on speaking in the rain (a real trooper), while everyone else gathered together in a huddle trying to keep the rain from getting into the equipment. EZ was able to get permission for me to interview a young man who was smoking marijuana at a bar. It was a great interview, and I think will be a highlight to the Amsterdam program. Duane and a crew left for Paris while we proceeded to Dam Square where Mark escaped from a straight-jacket and EZ, Scotty and I preached open air. That went very well. We did a few more one-to-one interviews and rushed to catch the train for the five-hour trip to Paris .

All at UKGM.org are praying for the Lord's will in this.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Psalm 42:5
Till He Comes
David (for UKGM.org)
Praying for you brother...
The Lord bless you Ray.
It was an absolute delight to meet you in London. A real privilege.
"We have to go through many trials to enter the kingdom of God".
You ARE a real trooper.
Keep trooping the gospel!
You are such an encouragement to all of us: all of you are!
James
God bless you all and keep you safe and healthy during your travels. So sorry to read about the stolen equipment--how wonderful to know for certain that we can trust God has everything in His control in His Sovereign plan for you -- including this trial.
I am praying for the thief, for your families at home and for all of you.
As my wife always says, to end a crisis (in my mind anyway) conversation..."God will provde."
May He provide you with all your needs as you continue this amazing journey through Europe.
Grace & Peace,
James
I'll pray to our Father about this. God bless you!
