Fascinated and encouraged by the journey of Russell Brand

Love that he says:
1. The pursuit of meaning has led him to Jesus.
2. He recognises the significance of those who have prayed for him.
3. He knows he now has a ministry and mission of service bigger than himself.

In 2019 I preached at Heathervale Baptist and they were one of the first churches to have the young adult conversation.

So encouraged to return there today and see what God has done since!

Amazing day talking evangelism and friendship with 3 rapidly growing churches.

Jesus is alive. The gospel works. So many stories of people coming to faith.

In a vacuum of hope, we are good news people.

Why church leaders need friends more than ever.

This was an amazing conversation.

It is one of the great joys of life to work alongside such good friends. 🙌💪🫶

Emi Martinez. The best in the world. 🕺👑

Always so encouraged to hear that The Best of Friends is still helping people dig deep into this crucial subject and need of our times.

This is so heartbreakingly and desperately sad. I worked with Lea for many years and we memorably cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats together for Youth for Christ. He was so fun, so gifted and so encouraging. Praying especially for his family at this time. 😢

Inspiring and thought provoking day All Souls Langham Place for Church of England Evangelical Council - CEEC evangelism day. Outstanding contributions from J.John Rico Tice Glen Scrivener and Laura Hancock

'Courage is fear that has said its prayers.'

Don't talk to your storms. Talk to the one who calms them.

Just finishing this. I’ve been praying for over 30 years but I love that there is always more to learn and always more to know and experience of Jesus. This has added another dimension to daily rhythms of prayer.
