on 13th January Nigel, the international missions manager, and I went to Dormansland baptist church on the outskirts of Surrey. we gave a joint children's talk, then I spoke briefly on my testimony and how i had become involved in the work of TTR. then Nigel gave a presentation on Wheels and Integr8. our contributions were well received and we had a lot of friendly and encouraging conversation in the hall over tea and cake after the service.
I also have a speaking engagement on 12th Feb. it is in Croydon and is going to be approx. an hour long. i've been preparing a presentation, and testing my rusty skills with Keynote. The group has not had a speaker before and i'm looking forward to telling them about all the work of Through The Roof. I shall get my dad to check over the slides, just in case anybody is upside down on the pictures!
I am due to speak on Feb 16th at the Newmilton Torch Trust group. this is an annual engagement, and it will be nice to share with them all that has been happening through out the year.
I have just received the encouraging news that part of an interview which Tim (CEO) and I were envolved in, that was recorded by Urban Saints for their Leaders TV in 2011, is being used in their workshops round the country. people at each workshop say they have found it very inspiring. I praise God for that, and pray the interview will continue to be used for his glory.
thank you for all your prayers and please get in touch if you have any questions or a group you would like me to speak to.

Happy New Year
Firstly a very happy new year! just thought i'd give a brief update on what's been happening with me and my work.
well, i've been to grace Baptist church Hitchen, which was in early december. it was a very encouraging meeting and as well as talking about TTR and my own experiences, i showed the DVD of Guatemala 2011. i also had my CDs there and sold a good number. the prayers offered up for the work of TTR were very humbling and encouraging.
my christmas CDs have sold well, I have under 100 left and i am pleased with the funds this has raised for Integr8.
I have only been back at work for a day, but already God has blessed me with 2 new speaking engagements. I will be speaking to 2 groups of young people on 24th March, and to a ladies fellowship meeting in April. this is great.
I am also doing a double act when me and Nigel (international missions manager) go and speaks to a church on January 13th.
Once again this year I shall be returning to the Torch fellowship in New Milton, this year the meeting is in February. it will be lovely to see them again and update them on all that has gone on in the life of TTR etc.
some personal news for me is that I got engaged on December 1st and am getting married on September 7th this year.
all in all, it looks as if 2013 is going to be busy. i pray its also fruitful, and that whatever is in God's plan happens for his glory. I hope you had a wonderful christmas season and have a blessed 2013. I look forward to writing again soon.
