Wow has time flown by! This last month has been full of visiting people, lots of travelling, incredible messages and a big dose of spiritual family.
Most of all though, it has been a time of experiencing the incredible blessings of my Heavenly Father!
In May, I headed to Florida for my annual time of seeing family and friends to thank them for the incredible gift that they (YOU) are to me. Your love, prayers and support to stand with me in reaching the nations for Jesus is overwhelming. I cannot thank you enough for believing in the call on my life and to partner with me in reaching so many around the world. I really hope that you understand and know that every time I do ministry with someone or I teach or preach somewhere – that you know you are doing it as well. It was so amazing to see so many of you and for those I didn’t see, I hope we can catch up soon in some way.
After Florida I drove up to see my parents in Georgia. Many of you have asked about stepdad. He is doing so well! He has almost fully recovered but he is still experiencing some symptoms but they are due to another issue we discovered right after the stroke. He goes in for another surgery on the 27th of June to remove his parathyroid gland which should clear up all of his symptoms. Please continue to pray for him for a full recovery.
I flew back to London on the 1st of June and repacked and headed to Lviv, Ukraine for our Eastern European Build Conference on the 5th! I love Ukraine and it was so good to see people from our Ukrainian and Polish churches but also those who couldn’t attend the conference in London who joined us from Spain, France, Austria and Italy. It’s an incredible feeling when you are worshipping God and you are hearing so many people singing in different languages praises to God. Just a glimpse of what heaven is going to be like!
Coming up in the next few weeks we will be having our Connect Group Leaders (small groups) training. I oversee the Connect Groups in our church that meet weekly across London. Please pray that this is an impacting evening for our leaders.
Then at the beginning of July I head to Marseille, France where I have the privilege of being one of the speakers imparting to our University Campus Leaders from all across Europe. This is a week of equipping for them as they lead their campus ministries.
And finally, my housemates and I are moving! We made the decision a few months ago to move houses due the fact that our house is pretty much falling apart. We have been in this house for 9 years and we have had a really good deal in rent, etc. We found a new house but unfortunately prices are much higher than we were paying before. We move at the end of July so I would really appreciate your prayers in provision for everything that is involved in moving as well as the increase in all of our bills.
Thank you again for EVERYTHING!

Hello!
This past month has been full of seeing people from many different nations! As I mentioned in my last newsletter, we had our Build conference here in London. This was our biggest Every Nation European conference yet with upwards of 500 people registered (and that's not including those who have registered for the Build conference in Lviv, Ukraine in June!).
These conferences always feel like a huge family reunion as we get to spend time with friends from all across Europe (and beyond!) and make new friends too. It's about much more than friendship though, as we are united by our desire to see lives transformed by the only thing that creates genuine, lasting transformation: the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are many great social programmes that do amazing work in improving people's lives and solving problems, but only the Gospel can deal effectively with the ultimate problem- the sin in our own hearts. Thank God for paying the high price of sending His Son Jesus to take the punishment we deserve so that we can be forgiven! This is good news indeed! There were many incredible moments during the conference but one that stood out to me was a quote from Steve Murrell's message: "When you figure out what God called you to do, and you do what God called you to do, and you keep on doing what God called you to do... one day you'll look back and go 'Wow! Look what God did!'" Here is a short RECAP VIDEO of the Conference.
Then on May 2nd we started our 5 day New Decisions Course. This course if for people who find themselves stuck in negative or even destructive habit patterns causing frustration, pain, disappointment or even relational breakdown.
The content is based on Romans 12: 2: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind," and focuses on renewing the mind and applying other principles on how we can identify AND change negative thought patterns in our subconscious and replace them with the truth. We’ve seen over a hundred people in London over the past few years (including myself) attend the course and they have experienced freedom, truth, healing and peace to their lives! This past weekend we had people from Spain, Ireland, Germany, Belgium and England attend the course!
On Tuesday night, I landed in Tampa, Florida and I am here to see and thank as many people as possible who have partnered with me to reach the nations.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and incredible support!

As you read this, we are in the final stages of preparing for our annual Every Nation European conference, "Build"! This year we have the privilege of hosting the conference in London.
During our World Conference in South Africa in 2016, everyone who was based in Europe was invited to stand at the front. Steve Murrell, president of Every Nation, explained how the Gospel went into Africa and Asia because Europeans were faithful to take it there. He asked all of the Africans and Asians in the room to stand up and they all prayed for Europe, that the debt of the Gospel would be repaid. This year at Build, I am excited to see that over 500 people have registered from 25 nations including many from outside of Europe who want to see Europe brought to life again by the Gospel being shared through the power of the Holy Spirit! We want to build with Him!
Please Pray for our Build Conference- for everyone involved in the preparation and organisation, and that every single person would have powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit and be strengthened, encouraged, and empowered to GO with the Gospel!
Loads of Love
