Deputation, day 11 — Leicester to Glasgow

It was a long trip From Leicester to Glasgow, going through Derby and Crewe. The train from crew was packed and hot. But there was free wifi. The lady sitting next to me said it was probably a problem with their server because it is not usually free. I was tired and didn’t do much, browsing and wasting time really.

I al now in Kilmacolm, near Glasgow with my friend Iain Cameron and his wife Fiona. Iain came to Brittany with the summer team in 2009, and I travelled with him to Shetland in September 2009. It is good to relax and catch up with the news.

Banner of Truth, final morning

It was a good conference. Less people than usual though. Some people thought the main reason was that it was school holidays in England. We still had a warm fellowship, good singing, and good speakers. The conference finished with two addresses.

Martin Holdt spoke first on the Holy Spirit and preaching. We need the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is essential that we should seek it until we get it. Then, Iain Murray gave the last address, on John 17:25-26. He spoke about The Lord’s message.

The highlights of the conference were the talks given by Martin Holdt. They were simple, yet convicting. The second highlight was Phil Arthur on William Tyndale. It was inspiring, and humbling to consider this giant of the faith and what he suffered because of his love for Christ and the English people.

I am now on the train to Glasgow, making the most of the free Wifi.
