The Leading for Life Challenge

We’ve just been informed that we are a finalist in the ‘Christian Web and New Media Awards‘ 2009 for the Best Christian Project category!  So on 18 September, Zi-Su and I will don our best frocks (a welcome break from wearing the spandex connected with this ride) and head to London to find out if we won!  We’ll let you know what happens!

Last week, Zi-Su and I spent the week in Vienna at Leading for Life.  It was such a joy to meet the young leaders face-to-face that we had worked so hard to raise money for.  Here’s what a few of them said after the conference was over:

‘I thank you for this opportunity. I fell that I’ve been given sooo much… I’m super thankful!’ - Laura, Romania

‘For me, everything was very good. I will reflect on all the information that I got and think about the best way to transmit it in my church.’ - Elona, Albania

‘Each session was very fruitful! I’m taking home a lot of things – ideas, visions, and experience. God bless you guys!’ – Dena, Albania

And while our souls are full of joy, we have also been blessed by a donor who has made up the difference in the fundraising and brought our total raised to £6000!  http://www.justgiving.com/leadingforlifechallenge/ — of course, if you’d like to continue to support this project, it’s not too late!
