March 2025

Dear Family and Friends

I know I joked about January seeming like it would never end, but February literally flew by!  I can’t believe we are already in March.

February has mainly been a month filled with teaching and preaching as well as my normal monthly meetings with people across Europe.

On 12 February we had a Campus Friendship Event in place of Valentine’s Day for our University students.  It was an evening of food, fun and discussion on what it’s like to make friends, friendship boundaries and God’s perspective on friendship.  Here’s an Instagram clip from the evening: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGL94n0uFAL/?igsh=dnNybHMzYmV3OWJl

On 16 February I had the privilege of going back to our Slough congregation where I served for 1.5 years. I preached on Mary Magdalene as part of our series on The Cross.  It was so good to see everyone and see how the church is doing!

Teaching on mentoring is one of my favourite things and I got to do this with our interns on 18 February.  I’ve already heard from one of our youth leaders how implementing some of the tips has made such a difference in the mentoring relationship he had with one of the boys he is meeting with.

Our Every Nation School of Ministry had a residential week this past month.  One of the teachers for our Campus Track was unable to attend so I was excited to step in and join Aoife on Zoom to teach a few sessions on 20 February.

And finally, on 24 February I taught on Going to Make Disciples on our Follow Two Course.

Our Every Nation Europe Build Conference is coming up at the end of March which means people will be flying into Prague from all over Europe.  Many of those people flying in will need to get visas to travel because they live in Europe but hold passports from outside of Europe. 

One such person who needed a visa was my beautiful friend Romona.  Romona and her husband Euan pastor our church in Glasgow, Scotland.  Romona needed to come to London to get the visa and I was delighted to get to host her for night! 

I fly to Prague, Czech Republic on 22 March and will be there for our Build Conference as well as our ENC Conference until 30 March.

I then fly to America for the month of April to see friends and family and raise my monthly support.

If you live in the States and would like to meet up on Zoom or in person, please message me to set a date by 31 March so we don’t miss out on meeting up. I will be mainly in Florida for the first 3 weeks in April and then Georgia the last week.

Please pray for a significant increase in my monthly support.  I am trusting for new partners here in the UK and also in America.  This month I have received so many notifications of all my bills going up in April.  I know the cost of living is going up everywhere so I am trusting all of us will experience God’s provision.

Thank you SO MUCH for all your prayers!  I need them!  Thank you also to everyone who has been giving to me financially.  I really couldn’t do what I’m doing here in Europe without you.

Lots of Love
