London is such an amazing town! We went into central London the other day for a pastors prayer meeting with local guys around the city and I got so excited about ministering in the inner city I didn't want to leave. We keep getting this sense that God is going to do something so beyond what we can imagine and we can't wait to get started. Please pray as we will be going around the City each week to pray over different areas and seek the Lord about where He wants us in the future. This week we are going into North London as it is a place that has been really impressed upon our hearts and mentioned to us a few times to check out. Specifically a place called Camden-Town, which is a pretty edgy, younger area where alot of the street kids and goth kids hang out. We are going to take our camera up there and take some footage so we will place it on our facebook page for ya'll to see. We love you all and are so thankful for all of your love, support, and prayers. London is ripe for the Gospel!! Pray that God would move in the churches that are already here and the ones that are going to be established in the future!! The harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers and bring a great harvest of souls in these last days!! Love & blessings to you all!! M&L

London Arrival !
Wow, This is an amazing time! We are so excited at times we feel like we could explode! God is so good!! Our arrival to London has been so blessed. The family we are staying with and will be helping out with are amazing! They have been such an example of the Lord by giving up their lives and making us feel comfortable and welcomed. They drove us around most of the day Fri. to look at flats to possibly rent. We are still looking but have been bartering for a flat up the street we are staying on, but are not sure how its gonna go. Please pray that God hooks us up with the place He has for us.

Wow, I am so excited for you guys. No you don't know me but my friend Devin (who goes to Reality Carp) told me you left to start a ministry in London. I just moved to SLO to begin working (with Devin) after spending my last year living and working in Central London at a place called Lee Abbey International Students' Club.
Anyway, though I've never been one in literal attendance at Reality, especially this last year in London my now-fiancee and I often went to "Whole Foods Church" which consisted of us going to Whole Foods on High Street Kensington, ordering a coffee, and listening to one of Britt's sermons (John Piper is another favorite). London is ripe!
I've bookmarked your blog and I want to remember to pray for you. My fiancee is from Sweden, so maybe one day when we're passing through we can visit your church too!
God Bless!

Hey there,
I don't know either one of you, but I am a fellow brother who grew up in Carpinteria my whole life. I called Reality Carp home for about 6 months until I moved up to Seattle, where I'm at now. I am engaged and getting married to the most incredible woman named Brittney.
I'm writing you both because the Lord has put something heavy on my heart for missional church work in Europe, and more specifically England and Ireland. I want to talk with you both really bad about the possiblity of teaming up as laborers to reap this incredible harvest the Lord has put in the British Isles. I am currently a member of Mars Hill Church (www.marshillchurch.org). It's a rad church that is going on up here in Seattle, which seems really similar to the Post-Modern, young and hip areas of London. Actually, our preaching pastor, Mark Driscoll, recently just got back from London doing a seminar for a church leaders convention. He speaks there a lot and definately could be a great networking tool to plugging into communities up there.
I don't know what the Lord is calling my fiance and I to do, but I know it involves talking with you two, serving those who need to hear about Jesus, and raising up an army of disciples for the glory of our Savior!
I don't know if you know Pastor G at all (from Reality Carp also) but I am going to talk with him and see how we can get in touch. I will definately be praying for you both and cant wait to talk!!!

Hi,
Again a stranger to you. I sent you an email a few weeks ago, basically welcoming you to England. I wasn't sure if you got it and thought I'd just see because I really wanted to encourage you. Praise God for what He's doing.

Hi Mark and Lizzie!
You don't know me, but I just happened to visit Reality LA on the day that you were being commissioned to go off to begin Reality LONDON - I think you guys were actually leaving the very next day! Wow! What an amazing adventure for the Lord you are on! I'm so happy for you and just wanted you to know that I will be praying for you. I just got back from a short-term missions trip to India myself, so I can only imagine the HUGE need for prayer and support for full-time mission work.
I know God is going to do amazing things through you! Bless you both. I'll keep checking your blog for specific ways to pray for y'all.
Sincerely,
Tyffani...a fellow sojourner in the Kingdom:-)
