DAY 80 – SOUTH COAST OF BRIGHTON

OVER THE HILL AND FAR AWAY

Leaving Torch centre, Hurstpierpoint where Mark Brooks, Mathew Nye and me, stayed over night, we set off for BRIGHTON! But first, we tackled the steepside of Wolstonbury Hill! It just seemed the right thing to do, not only because it was a mere 10 miles to sea front, but  because we wanted to take the ‘high ground’. It was special raising the banner and praying on the hill.

 

The final straight passed the Raj pavillion toward the pier was amazing. A small crowd were there to greet us, friends and family from my church and a couple of new friends from locality ( great to see Steve Burton from Crawley). Mark Pickett turned up just in time with his guitar for one last blast of his song written specifically for the Walk! 

I felt compelled to spend a private moment on the beach, feet in the sea water, Crown flag raised, just the way i started on the 1st June, Thurso beach. Then Mathew Nye ran down to me for what turned out to be a symbolic act! He was asking to take up the standard for his own generation, and to receive a ‘heart on fire’, an overwhelming  love for souls! This is all I could ask for,  I am  lossed for words over God’s Grace and mercy these last few months.

I want to say THANKYOU to everyone, who together,has made this mission happen. Some especially I need  to thank, who have really sacrificed time, money and energy and have had to put up with me!!!But I want to stay indebted to the Lord for the amazing priviledge he has given me. Thankyou Lord, You are Awesome!
