SOZO - Bringing Reconciliation to Europe

SOZO Celebration of the Nations, led by Randall Morgan of MDI (pictured right), will be held for the second year at Red Hill Christian Centre in Snitterfield, England. The festival begins July 7 and continues through July 11.

The Nashville SOZO staff team leaves July 4 for England and will return to the states after the festival on July 13. The team is made up of people from six different Nashville area churches. Marti Scudder, Steve Lorenz, and Russell Anderson of MDI will also be traveling to England to work with Randall and SOZO staff and to attend the festival.

SOZO festivals are all about working towards reconciliation -- between races, nations, generations and denominations -- through worship, prayer, fellowship and learning. Last year's festival in England proved to be a great encouragement to Christians in Europe, who are dealing with an influx of immigrants from the Muslim world which is creating new racial tensions, as well as a broader culture that is becoming more secularized and intolerant of religion.

This year's celebration should be even bigger and better than last. Please pray for SOZO, that it truly would inspire reconciliation among the people groups of Europe, and encourage more and more believers in the faith that will sustain them through all sorts of trials.
