We met with a friend of Pete\u2019s called Greg, and were shown around the amazing church that he\u2019s involved with leading.  Really creative stuff, art all over the walls, and a fantastic feel to the place.  Truly inspiring.<br \/>\nThe church tour and lunch with Greg weren\u2019t the only treat either.  He\u2019d been strongly impacted by the movie \u2018Finding Neverland\u2019, the story of JM Barrie\u2019s life around the time of his writing the book Peter Pan.  It\u2019s a wonderful exploration of innocence, celebration, and pain.  Highly recommended.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.curve.org.uk\/blog\/images\/davenanita.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.curve.org.uk\/blog\/images\/davenanita.html','popup','width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.curve.org.uk\/blog\/images\/davenanita-thumb.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" border=\"0\" style=\"float: right; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;\" \/><\/a>From Ventura, we travelled on to meet David and Anita just outside LA.  They made us really welcome in their beautiful home, which was an amazing provision from God (no time for the miraculous story now!).  We discussed many aspects of what God is currently doing with 24-7, and kicked around a few ideas on how we might work together on some exciting creative prayer room resources.
