Skate Comp - Huge success - Thank you Jesus!!

Psalm 145

I will exalt you, my God the King;
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
    and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b]
6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—
    and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness
    and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

There is no better way of praising God for his goodness than singing out psalms at the top of your voice. We are in awe of the powerful way God used the Skate Comp yesterday. There are so many fantastic photos on people's phones - here are a few of them:

We are excited that a number of team members have decided to stay for the second week, so we particularly thank God for that. Everyone has been pulling their weight and jumping in to help whenever necessary. We have been particularly impressed with our Junior Team who have in no way been shirking their responsibilities and if anything have been leading the way. God has blessed Perranporth with a great team this year and we are already excited to be having another 12 team members joining us at the weekend.

Please be praying that they will feel welcomed and able to join in with what's been happening already.

Please would you pray for safety and protection for all our Team. God is taking good care of us with only a few mini injuries. May we see this throughout the rest of the two weeks. We don't want to get overtired or burnt out either, so please pray against this.

Our biggest prayer is that the people of Perranporth hear about Jesus and His saving grace, whether this is in the gazebo, the Morning Show, in the children's groups which happen every morning - may we be bold and courageous and remember we are not peddling  a lie but truth, victory and salvation. Praise be to our God who longs for all people to be saved.

Thank you for praying...

It's started Beach Mission 2014

2 Corinthians 1 v 10b-11
On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favour granted us in answer to the prayers of the many.

Hello from Perranporth Beach Mission 2014 - thank you to all our friends and families for reading this blog and for praying for this year's beach mission.

GOD HAS MADE A REALLY GOOD START TO THE MISSION THIS YEAR!!

All the team are full of God's love, enthusiasm and encouragement for one another and it is just wonderful to see and witness.

We had the first MORNING SHOW on the Inner Green this morning, with pirates and a storm to boot me hearties. Yes the rain fell out the sky but the children and the leaders were determined to stay out for as long as possible and a wonderful time was had by all.

Encouragements from this morning were the numbers of children that came to all the groups Minis (Yr R-2) 28 children, Minors (Yr 3- Yr 5) 21 and Majors (Yr 6 to Yr 8) 12. Please thank God for all these children and that they will all be back to tomorrow with their friends and families.

Other praise points so far:

United Service at The Memorial Hall

• The carnival
• The United Service and the picnic on the Inner Green afterwards

• Safe arrivals of all the team
• the team's awesome enthusiasm
• the prayer walk where we prayed at all the different places 360 will take place this year

Please could you pray for:

• conversations at the Skate Ramp - this is a big event daily being run and on Wednesday there will be the Mini Skate King competition. Many teenagers and young people are gathering there (photos to follow)
• another successful Morning Show and group times for Minis, Minors, Majors and Gap
• the gazebo team - this team is a little thin on the ground at the moment and there could potentially be lots of people around to share in free tea, coffee and free cake!!
• the PA system - it got a little rained on today - please ask God that it still works tomorrow

Thank you for your prayers - plan is to do another blog day after tomorrow, so keep looking out for updates
