Hi everyone I hope you have had a great summer. Probably now you are back at work and busy with a new season.
As I mentioned in my last newsletter the summer period has allowed me time to pray, study and make preparations for the year ahead. During a recent trustee meeting we reviewed achievements over this last year (October to September) I have spoken 18 times in 10 separate meetings. I have visited 5 countries in this time and already have plans for more. I have also finally started on my first book, thank you for praying, and we have successfully revamped our website so that it more accurately reflects the ministry now.
Engagements have already started to come in for this new year and I have plans to complete the book and another and have some new CD messages available shortly. I am encouraged with what we have done so far but I am aware there is much more to do and so we have set faith goals for this year and we are trusting God to meet them. Thanks for all your prayer and support. We really do value this as we continue to do all that the Lord has for us.
This period has not been totally devoid of speaking opportunities. I met with Living Word International’s workers team at a meeting in Slough on 10 October and spoke on Having the Right Attitude. It was well received and I very much enjoyed being with them as they work together to grow the church.
I also spoke at the European Conference of Faith Christian Fellowship, the organisation I am credentialled with. It was a great conference and it was good to catch up with a number of fellow ministers from countries in Europe During the conference it was a blessing to take up an offering to send to Ovi Starlici who is one of our compassion partners at Living Word. Recently he was involved in a bad car accident and has to find extra money for repairs. Please do pray for him and his family as they look for the best way to serve their church in a poor part of Romania. If any one wishes to donate to their work you will find the means to do so by checking out the website.
I am now preparing to speak at a special ministry day on Saturday 24 October for Kenneth Copeland Ministries. Following that I fly to Hungary on 4 November for 5 days of meetings with Eva and Istvan Nagy FCF Ministers in Budapest. I will report back on these meetings in the next newsletter.
In the meantime you will also find the latest month’s article is available for viewing by going to www.livingworduk.org/inspiration on the website.
I have included some photos this time of a Nile cruise Julie and I made recently for a short holiday. I managed to spend time discussing at length with the resident Egyptologist over who the Pharaoh was during Moses time and openly shared the gospel with him. He was a Muslim and it was Ramadan while we were there so it was fascinating to see how their customs worked out during this period for them.
Until next time be blessed.
