In the last episode, I was talking about our involvement with Christians, in other countries. In Thomas’ letter he mentioned that an outreach, was being planned in the UK, for June 1984. The occasion, was a Billy Graham Crusade in Birmingham, where our church friends lived. Thomas would have loved to go, but he had his regular freelance job, that he had to keep up with. He worked for Nikon cameras doing translation work. We also had our vacation time set aside, because my parents were coming in August.
But six people from our church and five people from Italy were going. A team of eight, from a ministry called Forward Edge in the States, were also coming over to help the Northfield church. They were hiring a double decker bus, to drive the teams to the meetings at Villa Park, the largest football stadium in Birmingham. According to their newsletter everyone gathered in the mornings for prayer and worship, and then divided up in teams.
