October 2024

Dear Family and Friends

This past month has been full of ups and downs and lots of emotions.

As I mentioned in my last newsletter, September is a launching month for many of us across Europe.  It’s a new year for schools and universities and it’s also when we relaunch many of our courses and connect groups.

Part of my role in Europe is to oversee that our European Campus Missionaries have a place where they can be discipled. This involves having a safe place to express challenges in ministry and in their personal lives as well as helping them grow in their personal relationships with God.  We do this by having monthly cluster meetings in small groups.  To launch this new season all of us met as one big group to get a focus on this new academic year on university campuses and to also pray for one another.  Here is a picture of that Zoom meeting.  We were missing our campus missionaries from Armenia and Scotland but the rest of the countries on the call were from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Spain, Croatia, Germany, Poland, Portugal and Netherlands. This was definitely an “up” moment for me and we are all excited about what God is going to do on the university campuses where each of these missionaries are serving. We are also praying for more campus missionaries to serve in every nation across Europe!

Another exciting moment for me this past month was teaching at our Every Nation Dublin’s Discipleship Day!  The session I had the privilege of teaching on was our pattern for how to lead small groups.  It was a fun day and a wonderful time getting to know the leaders and intern leaders throughout this day.

This month has also been a very hard one as well…A few weeks ago our founding pastor of Every Nation London lost his battle with cancer.  Wolfi (Wolfgang) was a spiritual father and mentor to me over the past 21 years.  2 ½ years ago he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and given months to live.  Many of you joined us in prayer for a miracle in his body and even though it wasn’t the miracle we wanted – we still got an incredible miracle of him living over 2 years longer than the doctors expected.  In the natural he shouldn’t have been able to walk, travel all over the world and even write another book in the last few months of his life but miraculously he did!

The last sermon Wolfi preached was entitled “How to have Faith that does not fail.” I really encourage you to listen to this powerful message – especially if you are facing difficulties. Please click on the title of the message to listen.

Please continue to pray for me to gain more monthly partners, for my health as the seasons change and for upcoming ministry travels:

23-26 October - Glasgow, Scotland – (EN School of Prophecy)

3-8 November - Tampere, Finland – (Evangelism Summit and mission)

Thank you for all of your prayers and support in reaching the nations in Europe!

Lots of love
