maidstone etc

Alan and I went to speak at DCF Maidstone on saturday last week. we explained our roles within Through The Roof, and our personal stories. we then showed the DVD of our mission trip to Guatemala in 2011.
we had a great time of friendly fellowship together with the group and felt that the meeting was a success. we pray God blessed it all.

I have submitted the pictures for my christmas CD, and have started the ball rolling by getting the license etc. it will be tight to get it done for 1st november, but i'm praying this will still happen.

my foot is now out of the support boot and i am allowed to gradually get back into normal shoes and walk as i feel able. i have not yet been able to dance for joy but it does feel nice to ware 2 matching shoes again!!!

please get in touch if you have a group you would like me to speak to, and as ever, thank you for your prayer and support.

last weeks

Since I last wrote this blog, i've finished the series of blogs i'd begun on the biblical basis of TTR for the Facebook group "Roofspeakers!" last weeks blog was on the struggles we face in our churches as disabled people, and I asked for everyone's experience on attending different churches. so far no conversation has sprung form this, but I am hoping and praying it will. it would be good to share experiences, and ideas on how we could change the attitudes of people and churches.

on Tuesday i went to Cheam road hall to speak to a lovely group of people. its the second time i've been to this group, and they were very welcoming and friendly! they hope i'll come again so that is hopefully a good sign. I updated them on the past year of TTR and on our future plans, God Willing. I also spoke on John 15:16 "you did not choose me, but i chose you...." about how God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called and equips us to do his work.

the next speaking booking is in Maidstone on Saturday 13th October with Alan from Integr8. we have 20 mins to speak to the DCF group there.

I am still hobbling round on my fractured foot and still waring my huge boot till 16th october when i go back to hospital and they have another look.

if you have a group you would like me to speak to please contact me on either
