26th July
 A young man's friend will never step foot inside a church but came today!
A young man found himself doing something he'd never been brave enough to do before having touched God & felt content with who he is he played the piano in a restaurant when he was with the other youth
A young man who's always been self conscious was totally unaware of it whilst he was away & enjoying swimming & being on the beach as a result
A young man was amazed whilst being away with the youth there was no exclusivity just great love between 20+ people & such care even when people were ill
A young man needed to buy some sunglasses but they stopped off for a coffee, there was a noise and a pair of sunglasses had appeared!
A young woman who was scared of the ferry stepped into a carefree place with God & the trip didn't bother her at all
Many told how there was such an openess in the group, a contentment in who they are in God & such a friendship which is so rare in a group of young people
Here's what else happened:
A man was bolder in an interview than he's ever known himself be, he didn't care what people thought & spoke about church and what God's done - and has got the job!

A woman who used to be really negative has got rid of it & feels great now.

A man who was about to sit & watch TV for the afternoon was encouraged by a friend to get on the minibus & come to church. He came on a crutch as he's got serious cartilege & ligament damage & wasn't able to put any weight on his foot. He was prayed for during the service & his crutch fell to the floor! He went running around the church!!! MONDAY UPDATE: He went back to the hostel & was still running everyone was amazed!
A man who had undergone much physiotherapy on his back & could touch his knees at a push was prayed for & can touch his toes. MONDAY UPDATE: He went back to the hostel & was doing situps on concrete to show how his back is totally healed!
Whilst we were praying in the week a man had a picture of a sword and he reached up to grab it. Whilst talking about the picture he grabbed it again & there was something powerful felt. He went on to tell how his car is really broken & can't afford to get a new one & how it'd been a pressure. The next day he had a phone call to say someone wanted to give him £1000 towards a car!
The woman from last week who was prayed for with swollen ankles has been able to walk loads with no swelling & is now finding that her shoes are too big!
A doctor shared how a year ago she had prayed & shared the miracles we've seen with a couple who'd been trying for a baby for 12 years. She got a phone call this week & it was the lady - now a mother of a healthy 15 week old! Despite it being a difficult pregnancy throughout she'd remembered they'd prayed & knew it was going to be OK .
Whilst out swimming a group of young people saw a commotion went over to see what had happened & a woman had had a fit in the swimming pool & wasn't breathing. They prayed from that point until the ambulance came & have kept praying since, and they've just heard she's still alive!
