Just back from a fantastic weekend in Poland with Jeff Scaldwell of Father's House Europe. Jenny and I were part of the prayer ministry team being our heavenly Father's loving arms on earth to His precious Polish children who have lived under such oppression for years, both secular and sadly in many cases religious.
It was wonderful to see a church coming in to the freedom of the children of God, learning now how to lay aside the rules, regulations, judgemental attitudes and New Testament Pharisaism that has accompanied many a modern church, and to begin embracing unconditional love, childlikeness, acceptance, joy, and a freedom that the world is deep down crying out for.
The Polish Christians that we met were amazingly hospitable and we felt such a love very quickly for them. The goodbye hugs and prayers at the end of a short weekend were deep, genuine and for my part very moving. We were truly blessed to spend time relaxing, eating, laughing and praying with them.

On the Sunday evening after the final of Euro 2012, we were quite overcome with joy from the Holy Spirit. I was trying to share the things we were learning here in Hemsworth but all that came out were peals of uncontrollable laughter. I guess that's what they needed more than my pearls of wisdom about church life in Hemsworth!!!
My mind was also opened to some new culinary delights, such as a plate of raw beef mixed with raw egg and raw pickled veg, coupled with potato rostis sprinkled with sugar. Both were very tasty I kid you not!
I long to see more and more leaders and churches embracing the amazing Father Heart of God and beginning to walk out of religious slavery and into glorious childlike freedom. I want that more and more fr
