I am slightly surprised that more Churches have not felt the need to host a ‘When the road is rough and steep’ concert especially with so many suffering and needy people in our congregations these days. It is totally unique, very honest and personal, encouraging testimony concert. Last Saturday was an amazing time. A good number attended Stanground Baptist Church and we had all ages present  which is not surprising as cancer, serious illness, depression and bereavement do not just affect older people. A truly lovely group of people who not only listened intently but also enjoyed the Ish sense of humour and singing along with songs that interspersed the…

As I am away gigging this weekend, at a ‘When the road is rough and steep testimony concert for adults on Saturday at 700-8.15pm and a 10.15-11.30 all age praise party on Sunday morning both being hosted at Stanground Baptist Church, Chapel Street, Stanground, Peterborough, I thought it was another chance to give you an acoustic version of one of my older Scripture songs taken from my 2021 Scripture Praise Party 2 album If you live nearby, please come along and join us.If not, please pray for me. Before you listen to the song, ask God to speak to you through these words from Scripture. For any interested. Please do…

One of the most exciting things about ‘being on the road for Jesus’ for the past 56 years is the excitement of not knowing where you be invited to visit next, and what the organiser is going to want you to do on your visit. As most of you know nowadays, I am offering 3 very different concerts on my visits. A children’s praise party A when the road is rough and steep testimony concert And an all-age praise party. Amazingly within 7 days I will be doing all 3! Last week in Swindon I did a wonderful children’s praise party and this weekend in Peterborough I will be doing…

The Christian life is all about building each other up not winning an argument. And we all need building up and encouragement these days. Before you listen to the song, ask God to speak to you through these words from Scripture. Don’t worry too much about the tunes, I’m just putting the words to simple easy to sing and play melodies which will hopefully help the words sink in! For any interested. Please do take a look by clicking below I’m writing these simple Scripture songs as a resource. Please do use and teach them as both old and young can be helped and encouraged by singing and learning them.Written…

What an absolutely fantastic morning in Swindon doing ANOTHER children’s praise party. I can’t begin to describe the fun we all had together but will be in back in touch later with more photo’s and info. Thank you Lord (for still giving old Grandad Ish the inspiration and plenty of energy) and thank you friends for your prayers. I really felt them being answered. By the way, as you can see I’ve chosen this shirt as my children’s praise party shirt. It’s fun and colourful but cannot compete with the fun and colour of an actual praise party!
