Opportunities in Media

Six of the London Bridge team have rotated working in the MTG Media/Communication Centre. The team’s job is to assist the official media team by answering the telephone and taking messages or directing calls to the appropriate staff, making contact calls as needed, compiling or researching lists, assisting with photos, writing articles, and any other task assigned.

The opportunity to get acquainted with the staff and spend more than a few minutes with them is the highlight of this assignment.
New Friends from Prayerwalking
David Hews (pictured on the far right), the MTG Director of Volunteers, invited anyone who was available to join a prayer walk on Tuesday evening. The group met in Westminster at Methodist Central Hall and prayed at several points including: Parliament, 10 Downing Street, near Horse Guards Parade (an Olympic venue), and Buckingham Palace. The people in the group were from Jamaica, Poland, UK, and the Caribbean. The most meaningful event on the prayer walk was sharing Communion in front of Buckingham Palace.  As an added bonus, Kerri Walsh who had just qualified of the beach volleyball finals ran across the street to greet fans waiting in the restaurant beside the group.
