A walk through life with God
This summer, my husband and I took our little boy on holiday to New Wine. For those that haven’t heard of it, New Wine is a Christian festival of sorts – think camping, epic worship, thought provoking seminars, lots of prayer and all while spending the week with some wonderful people.
