"I loved mission Tall Ships. It was exhausting but worth it. It is the first time in a long time that I felt we as a church were really 'on mission' the mission that Jesus has called us to: going and making diciples and teaching them. I loved that prayer was the foundation of everything we did and there seemed to be a collective recognition that apart from God working through us we were unable to do anything of real value or have any kind of real impact. Our felt weakness was a theme of the week with God using the time to give many opportunities to step out in areas that would have previously terrified them! I spent Monday afternoon talking to complete strangers at the Tall Ships village, inviting them to Church and the African Children's Choir and having some great conversations, I was working alongside an amazing girl called Cathy, she seemed so confident and gifted and I felt encouraged to be bold and talk to people. The funniest thing was that when we both talked about it afterwards we had both percieved the same thing about one another but felt terrified and inadequate ourselves! I love that God can use weak people like us!"
