I have put all the tweets from our trip to the USA into this post.
OK, So she is Deborah 14 now and it is Deborah, Kirsty and myself who are going, but I am having trouble with thinking of a better title!
It is here, today is the day we leave for America… well for Christchurch, Dorset, but we are on our way and by about 6:30 am Monday 24th we will be on our way to Heathrow Airport and from there to Los Angeles. And the Drapper trip to the USA will be underway.
As a result of the documentary we will be crossing the pond to meet with some amazing, godly people and meet some of the best trainers in evangelism, hoping to return with new motivation, better skills and more confidence to share our faith.
So just what are we going to be doing?
We will try to keep you up to date through Tweets on Twitter which you can see in the sidebar on the left, or you can follow us on Twitter. But to give you an idea here is an outline of our itenary.

Saturday the 18th July we will be joining with many thousands for Christians on a march of repentance.
A march recognising that we, the church have a responsibility to the nation not only to call it back to repentance and righteous living, but the we have failed in out calling to be right before our God.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Deborah, Kirsty and I have been invited to visit the United States of America for 2 weeks, at the end of August. We have a packed schedule of travelling. First we fly into Los Angeles where we meet with Ray Comfort, evangelist and co-host of Way Of The Master ministry. I’ll let Ray tell you more about what we’ll be doing there as you listen to a brief section of an interview he did with Rick Wiles on TruNews Radio.

After our time in LA we fly to Pensacola, Florida, where we meet with Eric Hovind from Creation Science Evangelism ministry and tour their Dinosaur Adventureland and Creation Museum. Next we make another flight to West Palm Beach, Florida, to meet with Rick Wiles of TruNews Radio and check out his newest 1000 seater tent and his Hope For America mission.
If anyone happens to be in those places and wants to meet up then please let us know and we will see if we can find a time to meet.
The Grierson Awards commemorate the pioneering Scottish documentary filmmaker John Grierson (1898 – 1972), famous for Drifters and Night Mail and the man widely regarded as the father of the documentary.
Established in 1972, the Grierson Awards recognise and celebrate documentaries from Britain and abroad that have made a significant contribution to the genre and that demonstrate quality, integrity, creativity, originality and overall excellence.
Awards are given in a number of categories, including Arts, History, Science and Contemporary Issue, as well as to a first time film maker.
There is also some talk of making a follow up film, covering her continuing growth in Jesus.
Yesterday I had the privileged of taking Deborah to Woodroffe senior school in Lyme Regis to speak at a lunchtime Christian Union.
Time was short, but we were early enough to make the most of every minute. We arrived, the children arrived, but still we waited. It was to be led by the local school’s worker and he apparently has trouble getting through the school as so many people know him and want to talk.
The CU was opened by the school’s worker and started with a game, (Peter, Paul), Deborah was lost. Help! Had I brought her up as a social inadequate, (as so many have said of us as home schoolers), who could not even join in a simple game? No, there were some girls outside the door and no one was asking them in. Deborah got up out of the game and invited them in. Confusion! Still the game went on, with one empty chair. Deborah returned, but still looked lost.
Just play I mouthed. “Why? – There is no point in it!” She asked. She played. Much time used up they handed over to Deborah. My nerves were a wreck. Could she now get back into the stride? Was she thrown and not able to get back up? (never be the Dad of a Read the rest of this entry »

Hi,
Until recently we were importing a learning aid from the USA and marketing it in the UK. It is a fantastic product and I can highly recommend it but the economic downturn and the relative rise in the value of the U.S. Dollar sounded the end for our import business. If you or anyone you know has learning difficulties do look at the Learning Breakthrough Programme, it is quite remarkable.
So this left us having to review our plans.
Planning a new way forward is not a frightening thing for us, we have been teaching people about how to plan out a strategy to reach their goals for many years with Five Steps to Success. So apply it to us and where do we go?
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has always been the most important thing in our lives, though we have not always been able to make it my job, as it were, and making an income, schooling the children and all the other things that NEED doing like mending the broken this or mowing the lawns etc. have often just eaten up the our time.
