1st service in Slough (link to sermon)

We had our first official service in Slough yesterday, which went really well. I shared a bit of my life's story and them some Biblical truth from that. You can have a listen to it here (a few of my other sermons are also on the same website).

Otherwise, I am in Starbucks at the moment, which has become my unofficial office. Not for the coffee, I'll have you know! If I wanted great coffee, I'd go to the Green Bean, Nero or Costa. Starbucks has free wi-fi, though, so their coffee will have to do. Our broadband should be installed by the end of the week.

I'm off to Bristol on Wednesday to attend the Release 2010 conference with guest speaker Bill Johnson. I am really looking forward to it. We've been hearing lots of exciting this from his church, so now I can go and see for myself.

Speak to you soon

Where do I start?

As much as many professional bloggers would probably want to declare this blog 'dead on arrival', for some reason I keep resurrecting it. And there we already have a theme brewing... But I will resist! I suppose I believe that this is a good place to process thoughts and feelings and it typically comes to mind when the need arises. Plus, there might be someone out there who benefits from these totally random thoughts. Who knows... Crazier things have happened! Since our last post a million years ago, we have concluded that God is calling us to Wales! And more specifically, to plant an Every Nation church in Cardiff. It's been a crazy journey. We have lived in and loved Slough for the last 12 years. It's the greatest church community one could possibly hope to belong to. Ups and downs and challenges for sure, but overall an incredible group of people who really love Jesus and others.  As if that wasn't making it difficult enough for us to move away from Slough, we ha...

4 weeks and counting...

Today we have exactly 4 weeks left before the final count down to being parents. I have my moments when I realise how overwhelming it is to make this statement. But, there is nothing we can do about it...she is on her way and we just trust for the best. The end of year is approaching  rapidly and I stand amazed at how productive this year was. We have grown as individuals and as a unit. Living abroad is becoming more and more of a reality to us and we just trust God that our daughter will connect with her family back home in ways that He will orchestrate. Things are going really well at church. We are growing as a congregation and experiencing different levels of God. He is always faithful to show up, and He makes our efforts here successful. Just a short hallo from us today. God bless you all, we love and miss you dearly.

The certainty of the past

I'm feeling particularly emotional this morning. This last weekend was our London church's thirtieth anniversary, the church that has been shaping my life for the last twenty one years! Well, Jesus really, but through this church and the amazing people that call Every Nation London home. My friend, Pierre, and I first walked through those doors at the end of 2002 as students on a summer break, doing dodgy cash-in-hand jobs in the great city!  And feeling emotional means only one thing to a man in his early forties... Blog! I mean, does anyone still write blog posts? Or read them?! Either way, I do enjoy writing my annual post.  Back to my story, I've been reliving so many memories. A I type this, I'm sitting opposite the building in which I did my first ever interview in London. I saw Dan and Darren, part of the first team (the Ops team!) I ever worked with at EN London. We drove past our EN London office, Rofel House, based at 1D (1 d for dog, as we used to say over th...
