NEW WINE
New Wine this year has been a wonderful and an awakening time for many of us. Perhaps it would be helpful to share your thoughts, comments, experiences and emotions so that everyone can benefit.

Awesome week! Started for me on first night with prayer tunnels. I was quiet scared getting up from my seat but once I entered the prayer tunnel I felt an overwhelming sense of love and peace - it was very powerful and I buzzed for hours.
One night someone called Kenny spoke and said that “God is so very fond of us” this has really stuck with me all week.
The great thing about New Wine is the fellowship you experience - its brilliant!!
At the start of the week I prayed that Jon, Jack, Sam and I would grow together and become really close. By the last night I felt we were really, really close. Laughter and joy has entered in…..praise God.
I have always felt love for young people but felt this increasing ten fold over the week and had a picture of a mother hen and her chicks under her wings. I feel I am being led to take seriously my Sunday School duties and know I need to study (boo-hoo this is going to be painful).
Another great night was at Venue 2. Lindsay invited us all along and it was a great time of fellowship and fun. “Steak and Jam” performed and we all howled with laughter.
Seeing Jon turned into a quivering wreck was a highlight and the change in him was shear pleasure to see.
The final night I woke up needing to visit the little girls room in the middle of the night. I opened the caravan door and let out a sigh as I saw the most amazing night sky ever and had to wake Jon up to see it - God is so awesome……..and He is so very fond of us….
I was blessed in many ways by being at New Wine this year:
1. Having Lesley with us all (at last!) was great. It was so exciting seeing her reaction to everything & knowing that she wants to go back!
2. Prayer ministry is such an amazing blessing. I know it was hard work & more tiring than I realised, but just feeling that God can speak throough you to help another person is mind blowing.
3. Venue 3 was a blessing again although I think those who go next year may need an even bigger one!
I can’t pretend that I enjoyed the weather & the mud was disgusting, but having visited Soul Survivor yesterday let me tell you, we didn’t have it as bad as the young folk have.
I still don’t know if I want to go next year. There are things I would really miss, but I can also remember how difficult I found some aspects of this year so I shall pray & wait!
