Llangollen International
Christian Witness Team 2010 The week of the Llangollen
International Musical Eisteddfod has once again
come and gone. Each year for over 60years there has been a
Christian witness present, this year was no exception with
the Llangollen Christian Witness Team once again gathering
for a week of witness.
The seed of the gospel was sown widely and we pray that in God's will
others will water it and by his grace God will be pleased to
bring forth fruit.
The team that gathered together enjoyed good fellowship and we had many
conversations with all sorts of people of all ages. Much foreign
literature was given away.
This year we had a stall on the Eisteddfod field which was truly blessed
and was a real encouragement to the team.
We pray that God may receive glory through the efforts of the
week..

Over the past
few years I have not seen many butterflies but this year
the number seems to have increased. The one above I
pictured in my garden last week. Some of you who are
into butterflies may be able to put a name to it. I have
seen more in the field where I walk my dog as well. A
butterfly is a caterpillar before it changes into the
beautiful creature we see flying from flower to flower
gathering nectar or basking in the sun. The change from
caterpillar to butterfly has been used at times as a
picture of a person before and after becoming a
Christian. Before the change there is life and all life
is precious, but one that is restricted like the
caterpillar that can only crawl about and not have
beautiful wings with which to rise up to heaven. Before
a person turns to Jesus Christ to have their sins for
given God seems so far away or unimportant or even
nonexistent but afterward they can fly to heaven on the
wings of prayer and their lives take on a new beauty.How sad it
would be if the caterpillar never changed and how sad it
would be if people could never change. But by God’s
grace they can. We should value and respect people
whether they are Christians or not but how wonderful to
be changed and be able to fly to heaven and show our
creators beauty.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old
has gone, the new has come! 2
Corinthians 5:17
