Is it Kent? Or Surrey? Or London?

[Here's some reflections from the 'other' Kent team...]

"It has been a wonderful, awesome experience. I have never had such a wonderful time. Meeting new people and bonding like a happy big family. I have tremendous confidence now that I didn't before. God has shown me that he is faithful and just Dad. I couldn't ask for anything else than this because his love is so amazing that I cannot comprehend it, all I can say is wow!" - Chido Dizomba

"Staying with June, a lovely grandma from St. George's, I had the opportunity to pray with her for her saliva glands which the doctors say will never fully recover from the cancer she had.
Met with a group of youth in the park next door to the promenade who all then came to the church outdoors service (I kinda said I'd sort Callum a chance to go on stage!!). All sorts of good chats with them. I sang Christian songs on the bench with two girls and chatted with another about suffering and how God is real & He cares. I think Niyah & James had the best conversation with the singer of the rap duet (Micah?) who then came to faith in Jesus. Whoop whoop.
Gorgeous weather, loads of people - great day!" - Tim Sandford

"When I signed up for Re:Act I wasn't sure what to expect. On the training residential we went to loads of talks including "getting right with God". I was changed by God more that I was expecting and at some point more than I wanted to be. Over the week I've had the chance to talk to strangers about God's heart for them and pray with them for healing, strength and the
chance to know him more. Before Re:Act I'd have been too scared to go up to people and talk to them, but God's given me the confidence to approach complete strangers and talk to them about him. I've also meet some amazing
people. To sum it up I don't think that I've ever cried so much and yet enjoyed something so much either." - Becky Coffin

"On the training weekend my foot got healed by two boys who had just received the gift of healing. All through the week I felt like I was getting close to God and learning a lot more. People had words for me which have changed my life. Before
Re:Act I wanted to go to drama school but now I just really want to do what God wants. Re:Act has impacted me big time and I will look forward to carrying on the mission at home." - Alex Blythe

"Why go on a re-act tour?
The only way I can answer this is to say you have to experience it and man, have we had some experiences!!! The last few days I have had the opportunity of working with people I perhaps wouldn't normally work with and made life long friends with them. We have seen God work in truly mysterious and miraculous ways. 
So if you want to meet new people who have a heart for God and get a chance to practice what you really believe, then Re:Act is definitely for you.
Thanks guys, I had a really great time - now I can put up a marquee, facepaint, braid hair and take down a bouncy castle!" - Caz Mills

"I am thrilled and excited about the move of God at Re:Act 2008. Seeing young people passionate for God is very, very exciting. During one of our team meetings the team leader challenged us to set a faith target, my target was to lead someone to Christ. To God's glory, less that 15mins later at the Epsom event, the Lord led my team member and I to a gentleman who gave his life to God. After praying with him, he said, he's now happy that he has someone up there to speak to." - Opeyemi Daramola

"In team A, just before we went out to do the questionnaires, we set goals for the day. My goal was to pray for someone and have a good conversation. I saw a couple walking their dog with their daughter so I went over and asked them how they were doing and stroked their dog. Florence and I then asked them to do the questionnaire and asked if they needed prayer. They did and we prayed for that the man would find a job and that his dad would get better." - Sarah Nkrumah
