• USA Trip
• Non-Stop

Here goes. Hi everyone. I'm writing this from Nashville USA. The trip has been going well. I started off in West Point military academy near New York, then played in Church of the Saviour in Philadelphia, and return to Philly on Saturday for more engagements before flying home on Monday.

Everything doesn't always go smoothly, but I believe God has a purpose in mind! Let me tell you about a meeting I had yesterday. I was due to meet a pastor called Scotty Smith at 3. Just for half an hour or so to get aquainted.

"Let's get a cup of coffee'' said Pastor Smith . The coffee machine was broken. We fiddle around for 15 minutes laughing about how here he is, senior pastor of a huge church and we can't get a cup of coffee. But we had fun and talked more. ''Let's go out for coffee'' Next stage. We took his car to the coffee shop. We spent a wonderful hour just talking and sharing our hearts.

Time to go home. A turn of the key, and the starter motor of Scotty's car has completely gone. We call the 'Triple A' rescue service. They'll be here in 15 minutes. Oh well, we stand in the sun and talk some more. An hour later, no rescue truck. We call again, and they've messed up and misplaced the request.

After another half an hour Scotty calls is wife and she rescues us. So, Scotty and I get nearly four hours together, and I get to meet his wife too!
We'll always remember our first meeting.

You'll see by the opening page on the site that 'Non Stop ' is here. I think it's going to be a winner. Let me know what you think!

Best wishes, Ian White.
