Mission summary

I looked for 29 churches . Of these, at the marked place on the map, I found nothing like a church on 3 occasions.

Of the remaining 13 flops :
3    I found the building but it was not being used as a church
3    I found the church and it was closed up, not in use
1    was closed for renovations
6    were closed when I was there, but are in use

Of the 13 churches that were open and in which I lit a candle or candles :

2 were a success grade 1 plus. I chose the candle, what colour, lit it, and chose where to place it on the stand.

3 were a success grade 1 , as above but all the candles were the same colour

5 were a success grade 2. I was not able to light a real candle, but I had some choice over where I put the pretend candle, or which of the pretend candles I could turn on.

3 were only a success grade 3. I put my money in the slot and I had no choice over which pretend candle lit up.



The above sounds very business -like, without feeling.  I was pleased I  put the effort into this mission. I have no idea if it has in any way helped A (as in A good friend)  or her family.   From my experience of almost 10 years ago now, I can remember feeling a glimmer of warmth in my heart when I found out similar things people were doing for John, me and our children.  Glimmers eventually add up.
