It was an honour to give a lecture tonight at Serenity House, a secular community-based treatment facility in Addison, Illinois offering addiction recovery services. The event was organised by Eternal Buzz Cafe , a wonderful ministry headed up by Vito LoCascio that encapsulates and embodies the principles of incarnational and holistic mission. I spoke to the men on "Addiction and Grace : 8 principles to cultivate freedom on the road to recovery". It was fun, animated and boi

It was bittersweet moment to say goodbye to two Trustees this weekend - Suzie and Alastair Dow - who have served faithfully on the Kingfisher board for four years. Suzie was and will always be the first chair of Kingfisher Ministries and oversaw the ministry from its inception to becoming a registered charity. I am profoundly grateful to both her and Alastair for their friendship and for the energy and commitment that they have brought to the ministry. At the same time, I'm

Back late last night from a weekend of training in evangelism, preaching, teaching and mentoring and doing evangelism at St Luke's Cranham in Greater London. People seemed to be inspired, equipped and released to share their faith and three people made public commitments to Christ.

I flew into the capital Chișinău but spent the week in the third city Bălți known as ‘the capital of the north’. Moldova is the poorest country in Europe and is under developed but I found its people warm, we

Great to be invited by Oleg and his grandparents for Sunday lunch after church and experience some authentic home cooked Moldovan cuisine.

It was a joy to do a teaching seminar this morning for the staff of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Leesburg, VA.

Back in Witney late last night and spend the morning filming today at St James Church in South Leigh for Carl Wesley Anderson . We discussed the book of Revelation and talked about the extraordinary medieval frescoes of the last judgment in the church that date from 1490. We discussed too the influence of John Wesley (1703 - 1791) who preached his first sermon in the church (aged 22) in 1725 after he had been ordained Deacon at the nearby Christchurch Cathedral, Oxford.
