This morning they came out of their hotel to find a flat tire on the van. They were supposed to meet CCCM for devotions and thankfully they were close enough to walk. This gave Pilgrim time to "try" to fix the tire. God's mercy reigned! Unknowing what to do Pilgrim reached for tools that were supposed to be too small and the bolts that were too big to fit and behold the spare was on before the group returned. As they were on their way to Creation Fest they accidently passed the exit and had to turn around in a TIRE shop/gas station parking lot! I think Pilgrim saw lights from Heaven :D He stopped in and they were able to fix the tire and will put it on the van tomorrow! "His mercies are new every morning", Amen!?
Doesn't seem like a big deal but even the small things can seem very BIG and overwhelming in a foreign country where you know nothing and can't just go up the road to a Firestone. Satan would have loved to weezle his way in through that situation but God once again claimed victory for His Saints and fixed things that weren't supposed to be fixed, per the words of Pilgrim who used to be Manager over a tire division. He has much better things planned for them!
They set up for Creation Fest today as well as street witnessing in pairs of 4 and 2. The Lord worked through them in a powerful way and they can see God revealing Himself to the lost already. They will be helping out with the behind the scenes things tomorrow as it begins. It will be held on about 7 acres of property which is "beautiful, breath taking and pollaroid worthy" according to Pilgrim and the team. Ilfracombe is a quaint little town that is not yet modernized. There isn't even a Pizza Hut. But the scenary is gorgeous and a place they love to retreat to daily.
Please be in prayer as the Spiritual warefare has seemed to really kick up a notch. Please pray for our example as a church and our example as God's ambassadors. Please also pray that God gives our students a heart of servanthood, ready to do anything and everything that is asked, giving much more than is required of them.
God is doing some amazing things over there and they are excited to see what He is going to do over the weekend.Creation Fest begins tomorrow and will run through until Sunday from 10am until 10pm. Please cover this in your prayers over the next few days that God will poor out His Spirit and that the town of Ilfracombe will be touched by His grace and glory!

Praying as requested!The Lord's victory will reign! Have a Blessed day! CC Inman The MOM
Spoke with Mama Fitch this morning whose duty at Creation Fest is staffing the "Bouncing Castle", which gives her the opportunity to talk to the parents while the kids bounce around inside the castle. She has learned a lot from them: Creation Fest is the creation of CC Costa Mesa to reach the lost in England; it's now in its 7th (?) year; the evangelism seeds are spreading; and the impact for the Lord on the people there is being realized. She's talked to more than a few moms who have told her that they're returning visitors this year, but this is their first "real" time (as new creations - praise God!). She was very excited & encouraged by the quality of CC Costa Mesa's planning & preparation, the scope of Creation Fest, and the impact of this ministry. As "trip mom", she said that all of the kids are getting along very well & the girls from South Carolina (her roommates - poor things ... I know what that's like!) have been a wonderful addition to the group.
Thank you so much for the continued updates of the group. It is so exciting to hear what the group is doing in the name of our Lord. When I told family and friends Tom was going to England on a mission trip, they all said why England? Thank you God for allowing Tom to visit a place he's always wanted to see and reaching out to Your lost. How far reaching
the hand of our Lord is.
