Today I travelled through London to meet with Terry, the church leader from The New Life Tokyngton Church.

Terry has a great passion to see lives of young people transformed in the area that he works and we were just chatting about the possibilities and how YFC might be able to help a local partnership of churches in their mission.

If we could do something together this would be a very exciting and innovative project and I look forward to hearing more.

I did not realise, until I parked in the car park, how close the church was to the new Wembley. Between me and the stadium were 2 fences and a rail track. I could almost touch the stadium. The sight was amazing and the stadium looks fantastic even though it is still being constructed.

As I stood and looked I heard something on the wind, a familiar tune, some familiar voices, a dull but then rising song ….. Giiiillllllllsssss! You heard it here first … Gillingham: last club to be promoted to The Championship at the old Wembley in 2000, first club to be promoted to the Championship at the new stadium in 2006.

Personally, I hope we go up as champions … so maybe I heard the cries of our victorious FA cup final fans!
