Dear Family and Friends
I’m back in London! I know that most of the world has had unusual weather lately, but I recently saw an Instagram photo that described London’s weather perfectly – for every year.
I had an incredible time in America visiting people in Florida, Alabama and Georgia as well as catching up with people on Zoom in Texas and Kansas. It was so good to see everyone! God blessed me so much in so many ways! Thank you to all of you who have been with me for so many years as friends and family who pray and support me financially. Here in the UK and in America. You are reaching the nations! I also want to say thank you to those who I had never met before, and you are receiving this newsletter for the first time! Welcome to my team in reaching generations and nations across Europe and beyond.
I’ve hit the ground running, catching up on lots of admin and getting ready for a Scout to Italy. All of our Every Nation Churches across Europe have been given an initiative called Scout2040. This initiative is for all of our churches in Europe to do a 3 day scout to a city or nation in Europe where we do not have a church yet. A scout involves a small team of 3 or 4 people going into a city to pray, perceive and proclaim. Gathering information about the city through prayer walks, walking the city and finding out the cultural and spiritual atmosphere, trying to make contacts, and going onto university campuses to see what evangelistic tools might work best.
My team and I are heading to Naples and Bari in the south of Italy this coming Sunday where we will be in Naples for 3 days and then travel to Bari for 3 days. Please pray for our protection and also for Spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear what God wants to show us.
I am also continuing to look for a new place to live. Please pray for the right area and housemate(s). Rent and bills have gone up drastically over the past few years so I really need a miracle place that I can afford and still be able to save a bit of money. God is faithful so I know there is a place for me!
Thank you again for EVERYTHING!
Lots of Love

Dear Family and Friends
Hello from sunny Florida! I am on my second week of support raising and seeing family and friends to say thank you for making it possible for me to do what I do in Europe. Unfortunately, a few days before I arrived, my cousin passed away suddenly, so I went straight into being with family and a funeral. The loss of someone you love is always difficult, but I am grateful for how my family came together to celebrate her life. She loved God and was passionate about making Him known to the world around her.
Our ENC European Conference took place in London the weekend before I arrived. We had almost 200 delegates from 16 nations across Europe join us for the weekend. These delegates were a combination of students, student leaders, campus missionaries and church leaders. Some of the students were non-Christian, new believers and mature believers.
Our theme this year was Trustworthiness. HERE is a recap video of the weekend.
I was the main speaker on the Saturday morning speaking on Trustworthiness – You and your Community. You can listen to the session HERE.
After the weekend, all of our campus missionaries who have specifically raised their support to work with students across Europe met together for 2 days for input and planning for this next year. This is a photo of some of those missionaries and church leaders representing the 16 nations that attended the weekend.
I am in Florida one more week before travelling to the next state to raise my support. Thank you so much for all that you are doing for me! Please continue to pray for God’s protection, favour and provision for the rest of my time here in America. I am here until 2 April and will then head back to London to prepare for a Scout to two cities in Italy. I will also be looking for a new place to live in London. Prayer is appreciated for both of these!
Lots of Love

Dear Family and Friends
I hope that you had an amazing January and have started the year off with high expectations of what God is going to do this year. As I mentioned in my last letter, I have lots of new things coming up in 2024 so my hope and faith is high in God’s provision for everything thing that is to come!
Now that I have transitioned to working fully for Every Nation Europe, I am needing to move back to London where our main hub is. I moved outside of London when I was working with our Slough congregation for the past few years, but the cost of travel is extremely expensive travelling into London now. I have put in my notice at the flat where I am living now, and I will be putting all of my things into storage at the end of this month.
I am speaking at our ENC Europe Conference at the beginning of March and the day after I will fly to America for my yearly support raising visit with friends and family. I will be there for the month of March and then fly back to London and stay with a friend in April whilst I look for a new place to live. Please pray that God provides the right place to live and the finances I need to move and get settled in a new place.
During the month of February, I will be teaching at our Follow 2 Course, preaching in Slough, preparing to preach at our ENC Europe Conference in London and also making preparations for an Italy Scout that I will be leading in April. I would appreciate your prayers for all of these events. I need God’s wisdom and discernment to say and do everything I need to for every event.
Oh and I have a praise report! 2 of the students that we connected with on our Bucharest mission last year that have been attending the small group, recently became Christians!! Please continue to pray for fruit from this group and that the leaders would know how to walk with each of them on this journey.
Lastly, if you are in Florida or Georgia and would like to meet up when I am there in March, please email me with a date and time. I am in Florida from March 7-21st and in Georgia from March 25 – 31st. Please don’t wait to make a time when I am there because all of the dates might get filled. Also, if you have anyone or a small group that you would like me to meet, please let me know. I am trusting for more financial partners on this trip, and I would appreciate your help in meeting new people.
For those of you in other states, please let’s set up a zoom call since I will be closer to your time zones that month.
And for my UK and Europe friends, I’d love to meet up in person or do a zoom call with you as well this month or a later time if you are available.
Thank you SO much for your continual prayers! Prayers and financial partnership are helping me to do what God has called me to do and you have a part in every person and nation that I minister to.
Lots of Love,
Traci
