Noel time News

I haven't seen snow as thick as this I believe since I was three years old, there are pictures of me in a little coat in the snow.  So despite the chaos it has caused on the roads there is something beautiful about the way everything turns to white around us.  Of course Christmas is not about the snow or about the presents under the tree or even the tree all of which I really enjoy.  Christmas is all about hospitality making room for Jesus in our lives a reminder of what we should do all the time.  His name is the message of salvation IMMANUEL, GOD IS WITH US, this is what gives us Hope!


So I wanted to give you a little idea of what I have been doing just in the last month. As part of Wildfire Kings Kids we ran a day for young people to connect with each other and be open to be a generation who will be on the frontline of the battle not at the back.  Our young people need a purpose to live for it is our responsibilty to release them into this.  I have been translating and cooking for the DTS who are a great group of students. With the DTS we went out to carol sing in two areas of London so we could invite our neighbours to a carol service and in our neighbourhood we invited the neighbours to our house where we were going to have afternoon tea. The following Friday we had the afternoon tea and two of our neighbours came as well as a cpuple interested in YWAM.  With one guy me and another YWAMer had a really good conversation he seemed really interested in who we are he had some things twisted but I believe God is going to do an amazing work in his life as the months go on.  Then there was the Art exhibition called 'Under the Skin of Music' which surprising to me I managed to paint 6 new pieces of work in less than three weeks, on the opening night we had a number of non Christians that came into see the exhibition which was really exciting.  Then finally our team were involved in an interactive carol service between two churches which was really beautiful the church was transformed into a candlelight Christmasy room.
In January I am going to be leading the DTS for a few days being involved in churches in the Notting Hill area  and then once the DTS have gone abroad I will be concentrating on working with Wildfire Kings kids giving other churches the opportunity to be part of the generation of worshipping warriors.  We will also be scouring the area for a property as we are starting to expand at quite a rate, I look forward to writing more about what God is doing in the local area in North West London and beyond as we carry on along this specular journey!!!

Once again as I release this word my hubby is preparing to go to the Netherlands for the second time for his Granny's funeral - God has provided again and continues to do so. Three weeks ago whilst Reggie was away so much happened in that week, we had the interview between Oprah with Megan and Harry, which the whole country has been talking about.  I have to confess that I have not seen it.  As I quite often don't watch such things as I find that they can be very much twisted.  Having heard the media hype and what others have said about it and just by discernment I think there is something that does not quite meet the eye, something sinister behind it.  Oprah is painted as the good Samaritan, a kind of saviour to the disenfranchised royals, but I am not here to talk about this. However, I am here to talk about how things are really not as they seem, that there are many spiritual forces operating behind what we hear and see in the news. These media sources are certainly not in f

Manchester!!!!

So here I am in my home town Manchester and actually enjoying being here for a change!  I have now been here for a month and the last month has gone quite quickly even though I haven't actually been doing much.  Mainly due to the fact that I have been on stand by waiting to see if I would be going to Latvia and Italy or not.  However in the end nor my other team member or my leader from Zambia were able to get their visas.  So I am still here and it doesn't look like I will be going anywhere any time soon.  I think what makes me so content to be here and so relaxed is the fact that I know without a shadow of a doubt God was the one who got me here.  It wasn't a mistake.   In the last month I have been able to spend some long awaited time with my family and had some great conversations with them. I have also been able to reconnect on a deeper level with a church I have been going to on and off when ever I have been in town.  It is amazing the way God answers all our prayers.
