Go 4 Glory and More Than Gold Update #3

Sunday, 13 May 2012 11:35 Written by Julie Spence

Hi friends,

Greetings from the heart of London where we're madly busy preparing the way for the hundreds of you coming from around the world for the Go4Glory, International Arts and Sports Festival 20 – 25 July in Harpenden and the More Than Gold Olympic outreach 27 July – 27 August.

I'm delighted to tell you about some of our plenary session speakers for Go4Glory:

Carl Tinion  leads YWAM in the UK. He has a background in sports and arts and will speak prophetically into the arena of entertainment and celebration.

Henry Olonga  a well-known  Zimbabwean cricket player and musician who has a story to inspire and challenge you in new ways to use your Arts or Sports to impact this next generation.

Cheryl Cutlip  is the founder/leader of Project Dance in New York, Australia, Hong Kong and now London.  She has produced events in Time Square NY and the Sydney Opera House. Hear how dance can be reclaimed for the glory of God  and used to reach secular communities. 

Our MC team shows a diversity of cultures and experience:  Janice Entee, Ghana;   June Mataia,  Samoa;   Julie Spence,  Australia;  Carl Tinion, England; and Kenny Jackson, USA. They will not only inform you about what is going on but entertain you in the process.

I'm also attaching a program draft for Go 4 Glory to give you an idea of the wealth of opportunities awaiting us as we gather for His glory in July.

Would you consider praying through the prayer points below several times?  We are desperate for prayer support at the moment as the enemy seems to be working overtime, creating a logistical obstacle course for us in the event team.

Thank you for your interest, your prayerful participation and your involvement in these events.  We are so looking forward to having you with us in London this July.
Looking forward as we give our utmost for God's highest!
 
Blessings,

Julie Spence
