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
Dear Family and Friends
Happy New Year! I cannot believe how fast 2023 flew by. It was a year of lots of changes, challenges, steps of faith, and miracles. Not just for me but for the world in general.
I like to keep these letters as short as I can so I won’t list all of the things that have happened because it would take pages! For myself personally, a few things that happened have been changing house, job roles, and congregations. Challenges have been my health, trusting for healing in those I love, and needing more financial partners. Steps of Faith have been everything already listed! As well as every mission and ministry opportunity I was given. And Miracles….Again – everything listed – God has been there providing hope, peace, joy, strength, finances, words, and healing in so many of these areas.
Every year our Every Nation Global family sets aside a week at the beginning of the year for prayer and fasting. Each year has a theme and that theme in many ways continues throughout the year in our sermon series and conferences.
Last year our theme was Miracles and it was amazing to see miracles all throughout the year! This year our theme is Set Apart – A Biblical view of Holiness. If you are looking for a Bible plan for the beginning of the year and want to join us, you can follow our plan on YouVersion at - https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/41897 . Or the family devotional at - https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/41625.
2024 is starting already with lots of plans in the calendar for me. Our ENC Europe weekend at the beginning of March, a trip to America to raise my support and thank friends and family for all they are doing to help me reach the nations in Europe, a scout to Italy for a future church plant, our Student Leaders Camp in France are just to name a few! This doesn’t count the ministry I will be doing on the ground here in London in our local churches.
Finally, I wanted to give you an update on both Wolfi and Teri (Mana). They are both walking miracles with both of them having been diagnosed with stage 4 cancers. Through much prayer and treatments many of the cancer areas have decreased and some have stabilised BUT they still need miracles. Please continue to stand with me in praying for them and speaking life over them.
Also, the doctor has determined that I do NOT have asthma! I just have irritated airways so a regular inhaler helps me when I need it but I do not need to take steroids unless I get really sick and it is necessary. My breathing has been so much better. Thank you so much for all of your prayers.
Thank you also for continuing to pray for my financial support. Every month has been a miracle since I changed my job role to work full time for Europe. I still need more monthly partners so your prayers are continuously needed.
I can’t wait to see what God is going to do this year in each of us as we reach the nations in Europe together!
Lots of Love,
Traci
Dear Family and Friends
I can’t believe we are already in December! So much has happened over the last few weeks.
In my last newsletter I gave you feedback on the mission I led to Bucharest Romania. Our team had just left, and I had one more week to stay behind and help with follow up and to also lead a Wednesday night discussion. Usually a second event is the most difficult to get students to come to even if you have had a good first event.
I am so happy to report that 6 students showed up, some Christian and some non-Christian. We had such an incredible meeting that now 4 weeks later the Bucharest team on the ground has had an average of 6 students every Wednesday since then! This is a picture of that second meeting where I spoke on Identity.
Please continue to pray for all of these students as they explore Christianity and grow to know who Jesus is and how He loves them and wants to change their lives. Please also pray for our team on the ground there to have wisdom on how to walk with them.
When I arrived back from Bucharest, I started preparing for a 5-day ministry trip to Dublin, Ireland. Our church there is going strong, and I was invited to meet and encourage church leaders, preach on Sunday morning, teach a session on discipleship, and a session on small group leading. I also had the opportunity to meet with Aoife who is our ENC European Campus (University) Director and spend time with her. Part of my new job role in Europe is to work with her and help to pastor our Campus (University) Missionaries across Europe as well as being involved in our Europe Campus Events.
I am now back in London working with our Missions Team on plans for next year. Watch this space for scouts and missions to new European cities in 2024!
Tomorrow I am going to my second test for asthma. Thank you so much for praying for my health! I have started going to a new doctor and they have been treating me so well! I have had breathing problems since I had Covid in January of 2022 and I have never been tested for asthma until now. This doctor booked me in for a test on my first visit! My breathing has improved drastically over the past year, and I know it’s been a result of your prayers. Getting tested though, will be helpful in having the right inhalers if I need them instead of having to go to the doctor every time I am struggling.
Thank you also for your faithfulness in my financial support for this year. I am still trusting for more financial monthly partners so please agree with me that more people would join us in reaching the nations! If you know of someone who might be interested but needs more information – please let me know.
Lots of Love,
Traci
