Of boat trips and soup runs

Since returning to our home mooring in July, Ten Thousand Reasons has been running trips, including for the local care home, when the disabled access on the boat was used to good effect. We have now started our soup run again on Wednesdays and have been able to share and pray with people.

We sense there is real need among boaters as well as people in general. The opportunities for sharing God’s love and introducing people to the new life available in Jesus are very real. The boat is an “ice breaker” and often enables conversations to start up.
