So we are getting to the really intersting bit of Alpha…my fav bit. I remember the very first Alpha I led…I just wasn’t qualified in terms of knowledge and experience to do the Holy Spirit bit effectively. And I’m just overwhelmed that God has taught my in all the ways I need to be equipped … More

So I haven’t been blogging so much recently…had a lot happen the last few weeks. Been busy. ..not all of it productive for the Kingdom either…there is a great big need to being able to say no in this ministry! And yeah, as well as that, haven’t quite mastered the discipline of blogging every day. … More

614 Open Airs….looks slightly different doesn’t it? These guys are out there doin the stuff and people are being saved. Sign up to the 614 Vancouver prayer letter and you will see for yourself how many people are getting saved by simply reaching out intentionally..and yes, even without throwing the baby out with the bath … More

You will remember a few days ago I posted a bit from Captain Steve Court’s blog about his corps open airs….here is some update on how it has been going recently! “So our open air was interrupted by police responding to complaints about noise tonight.

When you are in the thick of the battle, it can be disorientating…confusion can set in…its only when you review things that you can see what you have won and lost. It also helps … More

Interesting day. Led prayers at North Somerset Council this evening…first Salvationist ever to do so apparently. I guess some were not 100% impressed. But hey, I think integrity, honest and justice are good qualities that wee need to pray for our local government. Nah, I don’t think they minded, some of them weren’t listening anyway. … More

Hallelujah. We’ve started Red Shield Appeal! Anyway, as I was popping envelopes through the doors this morning and went to one particular door and noticed the surname on the plaque…Friedland. My mind went straight away to Anna, someone we met during our time in Glasgow. Anna was Swedish, lived round the corner and had started … More
