The Lord provided the transport money £500 on 17 August through a friend at church it was n70re than enough for the tnp. He also provided free acGommodation and transportation to and from the venue thmugh a fyiend who lives in Manchester and was also attending the Conferen for the fit time. l travelled to the conferenGe by coach, and this was to fvlfil the prophecy that '1 see buses going from London to Manchesterf. To confim this fvrther on my way back I was able to meet 8 people that had just come back from the conference and going back by coach.
