Hello!
I hope that you have been enjoying the Summer as much as I have. I had an amazing 2 weeks in Tampa raising support and visiting friends and family. I then went to Orlando for a week to join over 5000 people from our Every Nation Churches around the world for our World Conference. It was an incredible time to hear what God is doing all around the world as well as catching up with other missionaries I haven’t seen in a long time. It was a week of being encouraged and encouraging others! Here’s a recap video to show you more about the week:
You can also watch more of the conference HERE to listen to everything we experienced during the week.
After Orlando, I traveled to Georgia for a relaxing week of holiday with my parents.
Downtime was exactly what I needed because when I landed back in London we were in full moving mode with our church office as well as packing for Youth Camp.
By the time Youth Camp started I had adjusted back to London time zones and dove straight into Camp with over 40 teens from different walks of life across London. It was full on fun activities, devotional, talk and ministry times and loads of laughter! Highlights for us as leaders was seeing how some of our teens met other teens for the first time who had learning difficulties and loved and cared for them all throughout camp and to see those teens so go from having high anxiety at the beginning of camp to feeling so relaxed and like family by the final day! The best highlight of all though, was seeing one teen go from being quite anti God and confrontational at the beginning of the week to accepting Jesus as his Lord and Saviour on the final night! Here’s a short recap video of the week:
And our group picture!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and blessings each month!

Hello from sunny Florida!
I am here raising support for 2 weeks seeing all of the amazing people who make it possible for me to do what I do in London and Europe.
God called me to be a missionary 31 years ago and told me if I would go where He called me to go and do what He called me to do – that He would provide for me. Every year I am overwhelmed by His faithfulness and how He has moved the hearts of so many all over the world to pray, encourage, love and support me for so many years! I have NEVER gone without!
Thank you so much to all of you in America and Europe who continue to be a part of my team! You are reaching generations and nations!
The month of June was a month of mentoring a lot of the ladies I walk with who are students and professionals. One such beautiful lady is Rutendo who is studying to become a doctor. I’ve loved seeing how God has broken down walls in her heart over the past few months and brought a new joy and life! Sometimes her hospital placements have taken her outside of London during the week so she can’t attend Connect Group in person, but she is so keen
to keep connected that she does a FaceTime call into the group to participate!
One of my biggest highlights of the month though, is a special baptism. My adopted family here in London is my best friend’s sister, brother-in-law and 2 nieces. This past month my best friend and I had the privilege of baptising her sister at their home! It was just the 3 of us and so special! I love seeing what God is doing in and through her and I am so blessed that God has given her and her family to me.
Please continue praying for me during my time in Florida for God’s favour and provision. From the 14-18 July I will be joining over 5,000 people from over 80 countries around the world for our Every Nation World conference in Orlando. Please pray that this is also a time of refreshing, new relationships and vision for this next year!

Hello!
Yay! It is finally feeling a bit like summer here in London. I know that for those of you who live here like I do, you are probably enjoying the long awaited top up of Vitamin D as I am. My Florida blood could still do with it being about 10 degrees hotter but I will take what I can get ha ha.
This past month I had the privilege of preaching at our Stratford Congregation in East London. There was a powerful time of ministry at the end - Thank you Holy Spirit! - and on my way home I got news that one of the men who had been in the service gave his life to the Lord! God is good!
We also started Follow One, Two and Three this month with 40 people attending classes. I have taught in each of them this term and it’s so exciting to see ages 15 to 50 across the classes! Also, to see people growing at every stage in their walk and going deeper into a relationship with Christ.
I had an opportunity to take a short Holiday to Lisbon this month as well. I was in need of rest and sun, and took the time to go to a new place where I know that Every Nation will be doing a church plant hopefully in the next year or so. I love new places and took this time to not only relax but also to walk around the city and pray for future breakthrough to reach students
on the Universities. I came across this quote on one of the Campus signs that says “What we don’t know today, we will know tomorrow.” I got excited when I read this because I said YES! You might not know who Jesus is now BUT you will know Him in the near future!
On my last day in Lisbon I also got to have lunch with the young couple who will be planting the church. We had a wonderful time dreaming about what God can do in Lisbon and a powerful time of prayer. It was so good to be able to pray and encourage them as they walk out this new adventure.
Finally, I will be going to America for the month of July to do my annual support raising as well as attending our Every Nation World Conference.
If you are in Florida and would like to meet up between the dates of July2-13 please let me
know as soon as possible.
Thank you for all of your prayers and continuous support to reach the nations!
Lots of Love
Traci
