Dear Family and Friends


Greetings from Bucharest, Romania! Last week our international team of 14 people arrived from Northern Ireland, Ireland, England, France, Austria, and Armenia to join our church planting team here on the ground. Here is a picture of all of us in the gazebo where we had devotions every morning on one of the university campuses.

Yujiro and Natsuko (church planting pastors) are actually Japanese but Yujiro grew up here and they have a heart for the people of Romania.

Our team spent the week engaging with students across various campuses in the city. Over the week we had over 65 conversations with students. With every conversation we tried to end the conversation with offering to pray for any need they had with most of them being so grateful even though they might not have any belief in God.


Out of the 65 students we were able to have many gospel conversations with, 16 of them praying a prayer of salvation! Throughout the week we continued to follow up with those that we prayed with and those who are seeking and still want to keep in touch. On Wednesday night we had a games evening and 7 of those students showed up.


Our team left on Saturday to fly back home but I stayed behind for another week to help follow up with students and to encourage our team on the ground. Yesterday was Sunday and one of the new students we had connected with came to the service and after church had a conversation with a few of the guys and ended up committing his life to Christ!


On the first day of the mission, I connected with a 22 year old student named Radwa, who is actually from Egypt. She is Muslim, but as I was finishing the conversation with her, I asked her if I could pray for her. She agreed and as I prayed, she had tears in her eyes. We have kept in touch throughout the week and yesterday, Natsuko and I spent 5 hours together with her in the city. She has felt so loved and is very keen to stay connected to the church plant here. Please pray for her as she hears more about the good news of Jesus. For a Muslim female, it has lots of consequences in becoming a Christian so we will take this slowly with her as she weighs things up but we want her to know that we are there for her no matter what decision she makes.


This week we are planning another small event on Wednesday and inviting everyone who has given us their details. A second and third meeting are the most difficult things to get on a mission trip in Europe – even if you have prayed a prayer of salvation with someone. Please pray that we are able to get these meetings and for the team to be able to start a journey of discipleship with each of them.


I have to say, this has been the best team I have ever worked with on a mission! Bucharest actually means City of Joy! And it did not disappoint!!! This team laughed so much together and with students. God brought a river of refreshing joy to the team on the ground here as well!


Thank you so much for praying for me and all that you do to make it possible for me to do what I am doing in Europe. You have had a part in every conversation and every prayer that has been prayed here and we are trusting that every seed will grow and produce fruit here in Bucharest and beyond!


Lots of Love,

I have just returned from Cape Town, South Africa! I was there for our Every Nation World Conference. Every three years, our Every Nation family from around the world gathers for connection and empowerment. Something indescribable happens when different cultures, nations, and languages come together to worship. It’s incredible to see what God is doing in our global family and be empowered to take the gospel to the nations. There were over 5000 adults and almost 600 children from 71 nations around the world! Here is a short recap video about the conference

Here’s also a picture of part of our London team that attended the conference.


From 28 Oct – 4 Nov, I will be leading a Campus Mission to Bucharest, Romania. Our team of 12 people consists of people living in countries such as Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, France, Austria, and Armenia. I am so excited to say that all of our team members were able to get visas so we will be a full team!


Last month, I mentioned that we were about to celebrate 30 years of our Every Nation London Church. It was so good to see so many people that have come through our doors and been a part of our church family. I can’t believe that February of next year will be 20 years that I have been here! Below is a video giving a look back at the past 30 years.


Thank you so much for all that you do for me to be used to reach the nations in Europe. I am truly grateful! Remember, you have a part in all of this!

Lots of Love,

Dear Family and Friends


I know you received a newsletter from me a few weeks ago but I wanted to get back on track with sending you one at the beginning of each the month. Last month, I mentioned that I had just go back from our Youth Camps. We do 2 Youth Camps every year. One for 14-18 year olds and one for 11-14 year olds with 40 teens on each camp. These teens come from all walks of life. Some churched and unchurched, some from their own homes and some who are in foster care. Our goal on this camp is to show every teen how much God loves them unconditionally, and to try to get them to take at least one step closer into a relationship with Him. These camps did not disappoint! Even with MANY challenges throughout the week, we still saw God do amazing things in so many of them.

Our key verse for all of our sessions was based on 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind. ” I spoke at the closing session on camp talking about the power of the Holy Spirit. HERE is our recap video of the camps where you can see me in a few places but especially near the end of the video.

Last month I also mentioned to you about my new job role starting in October to be working fully with Every Nation Europe. Please continue to stand in faith with me about being fully supported by individual partners in the UK, America and other parts of the world. My goal has been to raise another $600/£470 a month before the end of this year.


The last few weeks have been filled with preparing for what’s coming up next! I have 3 more weeks in Slough and my goal is to raise up a few more youth leaders before I leave. Please pray for the right leaders for our teens.


We are also in preparation for our Every Nation London 30 Year Celebration this Saturday. God has done incredible things in our church here in London over the past 30 years. I’ve had the privilege of being here for 20 of those years and I’ve seen nations all over the world being impacted by what He has done here in London and I’m excited about what He is going to do in the years to come.


I’ve also been preparing for a mission to Bucharest, Romania that I will be leading at the end of October. It’s been such a blessing working with our church plant team on the ground there and we are trusting for a fruitful time as we sow into this city.


Thank you so much for all that you do for me to be used to reach the nations in Europe. I am truly grateful! Remember, you have a part in all of this!


Lots of Love
