A supernatural journey

I have some good news to share: as I write, I’m moving to the United States for a while! 

As I wrote in my last post, during this strange season I’ve been learning to live in the grace of a day. Over the summer, I journeyed with God through some things from my past and during the process of this I was impacted again by some of the teaching and talks from Bethel Church in California. I say again, because in fact I’ve visited Bethel a number of years ago and the ministry of some of their leaders has encouraged and inspired me since. In fact, inspiration from this church has been alongside me in my own journey of transformation with God at many key moments and seasons. And so this summer, with the freedom and grace of a day each day ahead of me, I wondered about spending the coming year doing Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) in the USA!

The process of exploring this has been slow going, with a number of twists and turns – at various points it’s looked like it may not be possible – but now here I am, writing to you as I finally embark on a physical journey to another land, as I’d planned to do initially this year!

Currently BSSM is operating online due to high covid rates, but I am hoping that in a few weeks I’ll be able to begin attending in person lectures and worship sessions at the school. Obviously in the current global situation the experience will be different than usual, but I believe God has laid this choice ahead of me and I am keen to embark on something new, discovering more of Jesus’s perfect nature, and setting out on this next leg of the voyage of freedom, in friendship with Him.

I will be living in the small city of Redding in Northern California until May 2021. I’ll be continuing to write and post on this blog about what God is up to in my life and what I’m learning. A huge thank you to supporters who have made it possible for me to get this far! God has provided so much already through your generosity! And if you would like to be involved in supporting me or are impacted by what I write here, please do be praying for me or use the PayPal link on the homepage if you’d be able to support me financially. I can’t have paid work while in the US so will be relying on God and the generosity of His people for my living expenses.

Thank you for tracking my journey so far, and I’m looking forward to sharing more with you in the coming months! If you’d be interested to know more about BSSM you can check out their website, bssm.net.

If you’d like to pray for me, prayer for these things in particular would be great:

> Building strong friendship with my new housemate and others, and not feeling too lonely in a new city under restrictions

> That the things God is teaching me would find fertile soil in my heart to grow to full fruitfulness

> Getting hold of furniture quickly… my room is completely unfurnished and due to quarantine requirements on arrival, I won’t be able to go to the store for 10 days… a mattress and bedding in particular would be wonderful!

Finally… a couple of updates since I wrote the post on the plane: Covid cases in BSSM have decreased dramatically and so this week I’ve been able to attend some in person sessions! And tonight I assembled a bed so I now get to sleep on a proper bed again!
