So here I am with my travel buddy Joel Mercer, a perspective baptist minister and we’re sipping on some cold drinks reflecting on our morning so far: The tour with the East MIDLANDS Baptist Association kicked off with a time of prayer at Littleover Baptist Church. Not your usual somber affair but rather quite a dynamic interactive prayer time, including a wall where people wrote up their prayers.

It set up the whole tour with an expectation as to what great things could happen in bringing something of the love of God to people in local communities.

Much of this tour is heading out to ‘the streets,’ but my prayer is that we won’t see the streets but see the people.
