"Next week is going to be a big week," writes Andy Freeman.  "On Monday and Tuesday of next week (4 & 5 July), 15 leaders of launched Boiler Rooms or of Boiler Rooms in the advanced stages of planning will gather to talk and pray.  We will be meeting at Turvey Abbey, a monastery near Luton in Bedfordshire.

 

This retreat is a key time as we try and work out where God is leading us

Flying in over the weekend with be Sherry Victor from the Calgary Boiler Room, which launched in January of this year.  We have been hearing incredible stories of work with needy families, projects with first nation Canadian families and of a growing community committed to monastic life, to prayer and to mission.

 

Zooming in from Sweden will be Resa and Krister Daven, recently married and now living in Stockholm.  Resa and Krister will be coming to share some of what is going on in Sweden and in Scandinavia.  

 

From Kansas City, Adam Cox will be arriving as the Boiler Room plans in Kansas begin to take shape.

 

We will also have abbots and abbesses from London, Staines, Wandsworth, Reading, Thurrock, Harringey, Nottingham and Edinburgh all in the UK.

 

This retreat is a key time as we try and work out where God is leading us.  It comes on the back of an amazing day gathering last week at the City Boiler Room where people came from all over the UK as well as Finland, Germany, Australia and the US.

 

Please pray for us as we gather!"
