Update from Washington DC 12.03.08

Dear Friends,

Greetings from DC. As usual my time here has been rather intense. I have had Jason with me continually. The reality is, without him I would not have been able to cope; with him I can. We started off in DC and were able to meet some friends there. Then we moved to Cherry Hill, New Jersey where I preached at the River Church. This was simply wonderful. We were looked after so well and given a very generous donation for our Church in Baghdad. I can honestly say it was one of the best churches I have ever been to.

We were driven to DC by Jon who looked after us at the River Church. So Bill and Connie Wilson are now brilliantly taking care of us as they always do. Yesterday we had a very full day at the Pentagon and had our USA FRRME board meeting and lunch. This was outstanding and included our key players from the USA. The information given was excellent. We then went to get our new DOD common Access Cards which were issued for both Jason and me.

In the evening, we had an outstanding dinner at the army and navy club. Many of the former members of our congregation in the IZ were there as was Trip Casscells, one of the Asst Secretaries at the Pentagon, along with Jerry Jones and Ambassador Bremer. Baroness Emma Nicolson one of the great advocates was also there. Today there is a major Pentagon Conference that Lady Nicholson and I are speaking at. Tonight we are flying to Rhode Island to speak at St George’s School before flying on to Charlotte. I am so looking forward to going to All Nations Church again. I then move to Charleston then back to DC for a day. I return to the UK speak at Parliament in the evening. The next morning I head back to Iraq then return to the UK for Christmas.
I will be free to speak on Sundays 28th Dec and 4th Jan. Please email office@frrme.org if you would be interested in having me speak at your church.

Please do look at a recent article by Jane Hampton Cook which is on our website. It may be of some interest:
