Beginnings...

LINK 09 : London is Near Knoxville began way back in 2002 when I spent 2 months at an outdoor centre in Costa Rica and had the opportunity to work alongside a team from Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church when they came to that same camp for a week.  Funny how some folks just connect isn't it?!  Several emails, phone calls and years went by and I found myself on staff at that same church, as High School Intern working for Damon Kelly and Lucinda McCay between June 2004 and June 2006.  A fantastic 2 years working alongside new friends and high school students was not, thankfully, to come to a close in a neat fashion and buried deep in the annals of church history.  LINK was born! In 2005, I led a team from Cedar Springs, back here to Wallington to get stuck into some locals schools.  This was followed by a visit from the Kelly family in October 2006, a team in Summer 2007 and again in 2008 and most recently 2009 (last week in fact!)  Now it's time to REVERSE THE TIDE.  We are heading West to serve and learn and grow alongside our American friends.  What God is up to in all this is yet to be seen but it's exciting to be a part of His big story!
