“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6
I am SO thankful for your partnership in the gospel! As you join with me in prayer and support, you are reaching every generation in every nation! People’s lives are being changed because of you!
This past month I have continued to have opportunities to minister in mentorship groups and at our Follow Course. The most exciting thing though, was going to Dublin (Ireland) and Belfast (Northern Ireland). A team of us went to put on a mini worship conference in Dublin, as well as ministering in their Sunday service. We also travelled north to do a worship evening at our new church plant in Belfast.
It was so exciting to see both of these church plants growing and impacting the nations in their cities. It was also such a blessing to our team to be able to encourage their congregations. Have a look at our amazing team!
Please pray for me this weekend. We leave tomorrow to have our annual European Student Conference. Students and Campus Leaders from our Every Nation Churches will be arriving tomorrow night at the Conference. Even though my main focus in ministry is not Campus Ministry, I am so passionate about this age group! These are the next leaders of the world!
I look forward to sharing what God has done on this weekend in my next letter!
In closing, I will leave you with an Irish Blessing one of my Irish friends gave me:
“As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way!”
Love,

Last month I promised some pictures! This past month has been filled with lots of excitement. Our students have started classes again at University so I have also started meeting up with them again for mentorship as they also lead Connect Groups for other students. The first picture on the top left is of some of our Filipino students. I mentor the 3 in the middle and they mentor the 2 on the outside of them as well as others in their group!
The top right picture is of me preaching in our Stratford Congregation on Living a Lifestyle of Worship. You can listen HERE for the sermon.
The left bottom picture is of me teaching Part 4 of our Follow One Course. This course has made such an impact on so many in our congregation as we have re-visited the story of the Prodigal Son and foundations for a relationship with God the Father, and the way home He has made for you in Jesus Christ. Move from lost to found; from sinner to son to heir!
And finally, the right bottom picture is something I am especially excited about because it is the beginning of our new 18-23 year old Connect Group for young adults who are now currently working instead of studying. I am mentoring their leader Shardelle, who is on the left side. She is 19 years old and has been radically saved and changed by a relationship with Jesus!
You and your prayers have been such an encouragement to me this past month! Thank you so much for partnering with me in reaching the Nations and Generations of this world in this AMAZING City!
Loads of Love

September is always an exciting month for us here at Every Nation London. Just like Autumn always comes at this time of the year, we also start a new season of our Connect Groups and The Follow Course. We start a new sermon series, students go back to school and some of our young people are heading off to University in other cities. On top of all of that, the venue we normally meet in has been going through renovations for the past month so we are also hoping to go back into an upgraded venue in the next few weeks!
Change is all around us! Now, if you are like me, you like routine and change isn’t always fun. God changes though, are always exciting. Knowing what changes need to be made or what routines need to be kept is key to living in the plans and purposes of God.
At this time of the year we like to take time to set ourselves apart to seek God through prayer and fasting. It’s an amazing way to make sure that your ears, eyes and heart are open to hearing God’s voice for what’s to come. It’s also a powerful time of getting together to pray with each other and to speak an overflow of life into what God has not only called us to do personally but as a church.
I know that many people have a special time of prayer and fasting at the beginning of each year but I want to encourage you that if you haven’t stopped in a while to ask and listen to God about His plans and purposes for you – take some time this month to say “Here I am Lord, your servant is listening” 1 Samuel 3:10
I keep this picture as my screen saver on my phone to remind me to stop and listen to God throughout my day. It takes me back to the day I took the picture in Austria where this scene just shouted the awesomeness of God! You couldn’t do anything but stand still and listen.
I will be teaching at our Follow One Course this month. The sessions will establish the vital and life-changing foundations for a relationship with God the Father, and the way home He has made in Jesus Christ. To move from lost to found; from sinner to son to heir! Prayers appreciated! I would also appreciate your prayers as I oversee our Connect Groups starting up next week.
Thank you so much for continuing to stand with and cover me in prayer regarding my finances, health, and ministry! You are a reaching the nations and every generation in London!
Love,
Traci
