We have a space now on our site for photographs which we plan to use as a record of ministry trips etc... The first pictures are from a recent visit (Oct 2006) to Eastern Europe where we are in the planning process with Ignite Revival Network for a European Prayer Conference later on in 2007. More news of this when dates are confirmed.

The following report is a record of exciting times in the birthing of a new season in this special Church providing a spiritual home for peoples from many cultures and traditions. This truly was a real time of new experiences for the church, a real chellenge for me to 'hear' the Lord and the exposing of new opportunities in the midst of a constantly shifting Church body. Please pray for the Minister and Elders as they now seek to sustain and develop the work. St Andrews, Sri Lanka (PDF 354k)

In 2003 God spoke to me clearly about a ‘year of decision’ I felt Him say that I could remain as I was in part time employment or step out into His provision. Tracy and I took the decision to leave my job I December of that year and since January 2005 we have allowed Him to provide for our practical needs completely whilst giving back Him our time and abilities. He is faithful!

Here's the information from the 2nd united Praise and Worship event held at our local arena. This was another opportunity to see creativity released and God worshiped outside the walls of conventional church. Hope you're encouraged as you read on. The Report

Here's the latest downloadable report from my travels. God has been so good in providing these opportunities for me and I pray that those I've served may have been as blessed as I have in serving them. This was another significant time for me in my walk and development. I hope you enjoy it. The Report

Between 1999 and 2001 I have had the privilege of leading worship and seminars in Western and Eastern America as well as the Eastern coast of Canada. This has been a fantastic opportunity to see how God moves in the lives of Individuals and Nations. In November 2002 my family and I spent 3 weeks in Singapore working with the Methodist Church leading worship, running seminars and taking some time to see the country with my family!

Having been encouraged by September I was asked to be involved in a word of mouth prayer meeting on the last day of October 2001. Imagine our delight when approx 200 folks came out of their denominations to pray. The evening was focused on 2 Chronicles 7:14 (hence 2C7) and has grown since that time to upwards of 600 people coming together to pray and worship and , maybe even more significantly, up to 70 key church leaders meeting monthly to be open, sincere and seek God’s face. He continues to call us to brokenness, Holiness and humilty, He has begun something in our area which we wait upon Him, expectantly to move on. For more information and a history of these events go to www.saltbox.org.uk and follow the 2C7 Links.

Having revived a past relationship with the game of Badminton I visited a local sports centre (Dimensions in March of 2001) and felt God prompting me to book it for an evening of praise and worship. Having done this He reminded me of some promises He made to me about His presence and how He can heal, deliver and save His people as they draw near. The event took place not long after the tragedy of September 11th and was a significant demonstration of cross-denominational worship with God moving many of us as He began to work out His promises.

Producing and arranging backing tracks based on Spielberg’s film, ‘Prince of Egypt’, for the first authorised stage production in Easter of 2001 was a new challenge. Providing orchestral backing tracks from electronic equipment suitable for live theatre was one of my most challenging musical roles but proved to be one of my most rewarding.

During Easter of 2000 I was able to lead worship at the opening of a Stadium Celebration in my own City. It was a fantastic opportunity the City Church to come together in Praise and Prayer. 8,000 people came to what was a significant moment in our City's spiritual heritage.

Since coming into contact with some pastors from Cali in Columbia (Revival Town of Transformations 1 Video) during 2000 I have been able to have involvement in the leading of worship at an all night Prayer Vigil on the East Coast during Easter of 2001. The first event was an incredible gathering across the denominations, God's people crying out for Revival and expectant for God to move.

Without doubt the most significant times have been the last few years when I have been involved with a team of ministers who are praying for revival and hosting / resourcing conferences. We travelled from Plymouth to Peterhead meeting with people who are hungry for more of God and have been overwhelmed by what God’s doing across the nations. I’ve led worship and seminars the national Methodist conference ‘Easter People’ and continue to serve God in this denomination where I feel He is on the move. Subsequently I now have reduced my part-time employment from 4 days to 3 as I respond to how I see my calling develop.
