Marching through the streets of Copenhagen with thousands of people from all over the world, representing hundreds of organisations - it couldn't get more exciting than that, could it?
This was the second march I've been on in a week, as I took part in The Wave in London last Saturday. I am in Copenhagen at the COP15 Climate Summit with the Tearfund team. We marched with two members of Tear Netherlands, met a man from Mission East (a Danish Christian NGO) and later on met two members of 24/7 prayer, with whom we will be sharing brunch and praying tomorrow. It was so exciting to bump into all these people, as we had prayed that God would cause us to meet the right people at the right time today.
There were many more bicycles today in Copenhagen than at The Wave in London, and some very creative and inventive costumes.
Praise God for a fun and safe march today, and for the progress made in the talks over the past week. Please pray for the Tearfund team, for continued and renewed energy and excitement for the week ahead, as the world leaders arrive.
It is so exciting to be in Copenhagen, and it will be even more exciting if world leaders can secure a strong and fair deal, so that the poorest will be protected and climate justice will be a reality.
