Cross Vigil Day 31

DAY 31: Wednesday 14 October

So much happened today it is hard to document it in words. I am therefore going to let the pictures do the talking with a few helpful comments:

The Base for the Peace Pole went in today

This is just the base. It weighs about two ton!
The Peace Pole will stand 14 feet above this

      

                           David    &    Samson

      

Cars and more cars! Two elderly ladies stopped. One was in her 70's the others her 80's. The young one said, "We've driven up and down and past you many times, but we want to know what you're doing". Having shared with them I said I also get the chance to share John 3:16 with people. The young one said, "What is John 3:16?" This touched my heart that a woman in Belfast in her 70's should ask that question! There's more to be done in this city!

      

                  More cars and Tourist Bus

A blue car pulled up and out stepped a lady who in a very official manner said "My name is____; I'm from the Lord Mayor's Office". She went to tell me that the Lord Mayor wants to come and stand with me for a while some day. I will report on this later.

Still being a God influence.
