The shorts and flip flops have now been put away and warmer clothes are making their way out from the back of my drawers and closet here in London. Goodbye warm weather!
I might be saying goodbye to Summer, but we have been experiencing an amazing new season here at Every Nation London! We have really felt a shift and excitement in the last month and are expectant about what God is going to do the rest of this year.
Last month I also asked you to please pray for
me as I was preparing to preach. We have
been doing a series on The Heart of….. and
my topic to preach on was
The Heart of Community. I have been so touched by how
God has used this message to get so many people back in community!
I am still hearing stories about how people are asking about how to get into Connect Groups or how they have been so blessed by people reaching out to them recently. Have a listen here to The Heart of Community if you haven’t had a chance to do so yet.
I’ve also been teaching at our Follow One Course on Who is Jesus this past week. I love seeing how people are growing in their relationship with God no matter where they
are at on the journey!
This month sees many of our University students return to campus and thousands of
new students coming to London to study for the first time. Watch this space for new and pictures of our welcoming new students next month!
Please continue to pray for my finances and health. Please also pray for me as I walk with
many people in the coming months to develop a deeper relationship with God through mentoring, Connect Groups, teaching and preaching.
Lots of love

We’ve moved! It’s actually been happening for the last few months but the hard work - especially physically, took place over the past 3 weeks of moving our Church office that we have been in for the past 16 years to our new Every Nation Hub! I felt like I had 3 weeks of all day workouts moving crates and furniture but it has all paid off and we are now up and running and even had our first New Decisions Seminar in the new Hub! Our old office was a blessing but we had far outgrown it’s capacity and we now look forward to what God is going to do in our new place.
Last month I shared with you how I had gone on our Youth Camp called the Forgiven Games. There was not enough space to share all of the pictures and VIDEO so I thought I would share it with you this month. These pictures are of me using the object lesson of a tissue box explaining that God’s forgiveness is like a never ending tissue box – He’s ready and waiting to forgive – ALWAYS - no matter how messy things have become – He’s There – take and receive His forgiveness.
I would appreciate your prayers this week as I prepare to preach this coming Sunday and also for my health. I’m excited about these next few weeks as Connect Groups, University, school and our Follow Courses start up again! Can’t wait to see what God has in store!

This month was a busy one! A lot of graduations take place in July and I had the privilege of going to two of them. One, for my “London” niece, Carolina. (God has given me family wherever He has sent me . ) The second graduation was for one of my housemates – Christilene. I am so proud of both of these beautiful ladies.
It was also a month of catching up and getting back into the swing of things. After being away in America and then in Romania, I came back to help our Connect Group season come to an end. Our leaders are amazing and I have been so blessed by seeing how our groups have become family to each other. I also finished Part 3 of our Follow Course that has made such an impact on our Congregation.
Mid-July, I had a sense that I should go on our Youth Camp. I love the Holy Spirit! The day after I decided to go on Youth Camp, the Youth Pastor’s husband went into hospital with pneumonia . I’m not thankful that he got sick but thankful that HE knew and prepared my heart to go and take up some of the weight so our Youth Pastor could focus on getting her
husband better.
Right before Camp my other housemate (Dina) and I were blessed with a short weekend to the south of England – It was stunning and much needed before 4 nights of sleeping in a tent!
The Youth Camp was INCREDIBLE! It was called The Forgiven Games and focused on God’s love and forgiveness throughout the week. We had 37 teens from all walks of life and in different places spiritually. Some Christian and some not. My prayer for camp is always to see them come at least one step closer to God and this camp definitely
succeeded in that! We were amazed by the transformation of many of them and really saw the power of prayer in action.
Thank you so much for your prayers and your financial support. You have no idea how much you are helping me and reaching others! Please pray for others to join our team!
Loads of Love
