We’ve just returned from a two week break. In may ways it was restful, we drove through some beautiful bits of Scotland and the Republic of Ireland (although we had to endure England on the way!). I love Scotland’s moody weather and dramatic landscapes up North. I’ve got tartan blood (yellow red and blue tartan … More

God is really stirring us up.  He is showing up and giving us Spirtual heartburn.  God has so much more to bring us and we sense a cloud waiting to burst open.  People are being motivated for prayer, getting hungry for His presence and asking themselves “what is going to happen”…expectation is high and God longs to … More

We have some great warriors in our corps. Take on retired officer we have…was instrumental in the Army moving into Romania and was key in equipping several hospitals and orphanages in Rominia…all after she retired! She cornered General John Gowans after a congress and told him to send officers to Romania…and he did! She has … More

You have to choose your warfare. How are you going to fight the war you are in at the moment? There is such a big temptation in life just to amble through. The greatest enemy tactic must be to make us forget there is a war. There have been adverts on TV recently for a … More

Preparing to begin our first cycle of pastoral visitation. Made some appointments already. We have 63 soldiers on the roll, and yeah, a few of them need some TLC, some need a special touch, some need to experience a special touch of grace in abundant measure, others actually need some encouragement to step back on … More

We were so overwhelmed on Sunday with the people who responded to the message. Several knelt in re-dedication at the Mercy Seat and a large proportion of the corps signed a covenant to strive to build God’s temple, His Kingdom where we are. God was really good. We had some people renew their relationship with … More

Well, we’ve had a good chance to get an rough idea of what happens in the corps through the week. All I can say is that our “hunch” has been confirmed and we have a bit of a rocket that is waiting to go off…there is soooo much potential in this corps. We’re really looking … More

So, Commissioning has come and gone, we’ve left William Booth College and have moved to Pill, on the edge of Bristol. Something my Corps Sergeant Major shared with me when he came to visit has stuck with me so far in our few days here. Apparently, the area where our quarters is situated is nicknamed … More

So, I’m in it for good now. Signed my officers covenant on Tueday…Saturday is the public commissioning. I knelt at the Mercy Seat for a good while…something deep inside me asking “what on earth are you doing?” but being drowned out by the voice of God just cherring me on that day. I reflected on … More

My son, Benjamin, has recently been watching the movie Shrek on DVD. We are now all very familiar with it, we can all say the words and know whats coming next (not to mention have a giggle because we know a funny bit is coming up!). But really, there is one moment in the film, … More
