Dear Family and Friends

Thank you so much for praying for my time in Cyprus. It was a full-on trip! It was great to finally meet Mags and Maradee who I have been walking with for the past year in person. They are part of the core leadership of the church plant team. Here is a pic of my first night there with them (two on the left) and the pastors.

During the week, I was able to speak to their Life-Groups, Youth Group, preach on Sunday and do Discipleship training, as well as some one-on-one time with different people in the church.

What’s amazing about this church plant, is that they have already connected with nationals who are attending different areas of ministry depending on where they are with their walk with God. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in Cyprus through this team.

This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to preach in Slough as part of our Lord, Teach us to Pray series. We have been going through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 and my verse to cover was "Forgive us our debts as we forgive those who have debts against us." You can listen HERE.

Next week I will be heading off to our annual Youth Camp. Prayers appreciated!

I would also really value your prayer for 2 more things:

Please pray for my health. Three months ago when I was on the mission to Lisbon, I came down with a chest infection. My breathing has not been the same since and I actually really struggled in Cyprus. I have gone to the doctor and after never having asthma in my life – I have now been given 2 inhalers to try to get things under control and to go away. I have also gone for a chest X-Ray today. Please agree with me that these inhalers will do the job and my breathing will be perfect and I will no longer need inhalers or anything else in the future. Also that the X-Ray will be normal.

Also, please pray for my financial support. For more people to join our team in reaching the nations in Europe! I know that the whole world is dealing with prices going up everywhere – including here in Slough. God is faithful and I am trusting for an increase to help with the rising cost of living.

You are such a blessing!! Thank you again for all that you do!

Loads of Love
