I felt the presence of God before me and if I closed my eyes, I could see him in front of me touching my hand.

I first went to go to look at a child hospital and I thought it was great!  Then we went to see the chapel.  Then last but not least we went to go and see our friend Richard and we prayed for him.

Today was great in the children’s hospital.  We saw Richard.

Today we went to the BBC and prayed for Steve and Janet.  It was lots of fun because I met some new people and saw some new places.

We went to 10 Downing Street.  We prayed for 3 people.  It was very cool.  Then went to the Abbey and prayed it was awesome.

We prayed for a lady in hospital.  She got very touched.

Today I went to St Thomas Hospital.  I felt God in every room.  I prayed for this little girl and once I finished she smiled at me.  I felt that she felt something.

We had a great day praying at Operation London 2012.

A man gave me real money just because I gave him a chocolate coin.  (Sophie)

We climbed all the way to the top of St Pauls cathedral.  We handed out chocolate coins.  (Ebun)

We gave chocolate coins to the bankers.  When we gave them we said,” may God bless you”.  It was very fun and it was great.  It was a good day.  (Hannah)

In the BBC studio we used a blue cloth to make me invisible.  You could only see my head!

Lord, bring prosperity to the BBC and bring peace to those watching and working.

I climbed all the way to the top of St Paul’s cathedral and blew bubbles.  Then I gave 6 chocolate coins away.

G.R.E.A.T.   Amazing.  Make me more confident with praying out loud.

We prayed for the baby’s with heart problems and the people in intensive care.  We prayed for the doctors and nurses.

I liked it because we could explore the hospital and pray for different things.

The Lord taking over and blessing the BBC.

We prayed at the Match of the Day studio, especially for the Euro 2012.  Steven prayed for the concerns of it and I prayed that the players would do well and no accidents.

We went to the BBC to pray.  Lord bring peace to the BBC and the nation.

Today we had the very bid opportunity of trying to change the lives of many.  There were no problems today so going to the BBC was great.  We went to many different rooms.  Trying to make the world a better place.

I prayed for healing to happen and I felt it had happened straight away!

I prayed for the doctors there and I was running along the glass and when I got to a doctor I felt a tingle in my hand!

I prayed for a little girl who had trapped her finger in the door and it was dangling off and the doctors had sewn it back on!

We prayed at the stage door for people passing through.  We prayed that as soon as they walked through the doors, all of their troubles would get washed away.

AWESOME!

On Friday, our group went to the hospital.  We looked around and prayed for them.  Then we spoke to this woman called Maureen.  She had been praying for children before she came and she was touched by us praying for her.  Then we came back.  It was GREAT!!

It was amazing to take a step back and let the kids run with God and see them hear from God, step out boldly and sensitively and God work through them!

We prayed for a woman and her little child and I think God has warmed the woman’s heart, because I think she thought that someone was looking out for her daughter.

In Operation London I prayed in chapel and prayed for play specialists which help children. 

My experience was seeing Richard ( a friend from church) and praying for him and going to the hospital.

Today when we were declaring the greatness of God over the BBC I really felt the greatness of God shaking the foundation of the BBC and every studio will be declaring the goodness of God.

Operation heal the sick.  It was great!  I got to pray for another Christian man with a bleeding thumb.  I’ve learnt that no matter what you’ve been given from God somebody will always match it/it relates to somebody.

I have learnt that if I can push myself I can achieve great things!  I think Operation London was a great experience and I want to do it again next year.

We went to the hospital and we prayed for a lady.  She got touched and felt like crying she was happy!!

Operation Prosperity 

A team climbed the 530 steps to the top of St Paul’s Cathedral where, over London and the financial district, they blew bubbles representing God’s presence and blessing. They laid hands on the outside wall of the London Stock Exchange and prayed for successful trading, and handed out to passersby chocolate coins symbolizing they were valuable to God. 

We gave chocolate coins to the bankers.  When we gave them we said,” may God bless you”.  It was very fun and it was great.  It was a good day.  (Hannah)

Operation Broadcast Heaven 

From beside the BBC newsroom that generates television, radio and Internet news to 230 million people a day, another group of children prayed for the organisation’s decision-makers and for God to be glorified through media broadcasts. After a tour of the studios, they declared God’s rule and reign over the airwaves. 

In the BBC studio we used a blue cloth to make me invisible.  You could only see my head! Lord, bring prosperity to the BBC and bring peace to those watching and working.

Today we had the very bid opportunity of trying to change the lives of many.  There were no problems today so going to the BBC was great.  We went to many different rooms.  Trying to make the world a better place.

St Thomas Hospital

The largest contingent headed to St Thomas’ Hospital. There they asked the Holy Spirit to give them messages of love, which they wrote on postcards and presented to those patients and staff God directed them to. They also prayed for healing for several individuals, including an injured toddler and a coma patient whose family requested the children’s prayers.  

Some kids and leaders quotes:

Westminster Abbey 

In the grounds of Westminster Abbey the children were given keys with tags attached. One of the leaders explained, “We want you to encourage the person you’re going to give your key to. Who God says they are is the key to unlocking their heart. So ask God what He wants to say, and write it down on your tag.” They also prayed about whom to give their keys to, then handed them out to surprised tourists and passersby.

The final mission included a guided tour around Westminster’s shrine of St Edward the Confessor, who built the original abbey. Public access is restricted there but the children were warmly welcomed. They prayed for the Queen and declared the positive and influential role the church has in the nation. 

Downing Street

At 10 Downing Street a small delegation handed over a petition about the e-Safety campaign which seeks to protect children from inappropriate Internet content. They were rewarded with an unexpected meeting with Shaun Bailey, special adviser to the Prime Minister on youth issues, and were able to pray for him.

On their way past the Houses of Parliament, the group inadvertently ran into Brad Hawkes from New Generation – an organisation equipping youth for creative outreach in schools, and Clive Ireson from the Association of Christian Teachers. There on the pavement, all three organisations were prayed for.
