Just thinking about my travelling future…obviously not the too long term future at my age! This year I am in the process of arranging a few national mini tours performing the ‘Glorie Days’ all age concerts playing my favourite Glorie Company sing a long songs and stories. 2019 planning a few tours with the brand new ‘Glorie days are here again’ all age concerts which will be premiered at Minehead spring harvest this year and will be made up of Just my sing-a-long scripture songs and stories. 2020 the big one celebrating the ‘50 years of travelling ministry’ concerts. All my very favourite songs and untold stories over 50 years…

What an amazing year it’s been! Travelling to Bognor Regis, Chafford Hundred, Chiddingfold, Littlehampton, Wadhurst, Eastbourne, Shoreham, Minehead, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Earl Shilton, Blackpool, Ilfracombe, South Harting, Southampton, Haxey, Lincoln, Boston, Sleaford, Horsham, Yapton, Brighton, Evesham, Rogate, Coventry, Birmingham, Nuneaton, St Ives, Comberton, Bradford on Avon, Felpham, Shrewsbury, Oswaldtwistle, Manchester, Bradford and Cudham doing concerts, praise parties and preaching. Then ministering regularly in the Cathedral, visiting cancer patients and of course the odd game of golf… roughly twice a week! I never stop praising God for these wonderful opportunities to serve him. Although I was ready to go and be with Him nearly 10 years ago, I am so grateful that…

Next years monthly mini tours are nearly all sorted for the first half of 2018 which I find really exciting! I’ve loved doing all the gigs in the past year and yep, I’ve enjoyed the concerts where very few have turned out as much as the ones I have faced a large audience! As well as visiting some ‘new’ Churches, It’s so encouraging to see how many I shall be returning to! I make it clear to the organisers that one night stands are fine, but part of the idea behind these tours is to travel round and make friends and build relationships with both organiser and audience. You see…

Rather a busy weekend coming up with 7 gigs in 4 days but really looking forward to it and what makes it even more exciting is that I will be returning up to the north of England where I lived and pastored a Church many many years ago!

Just been sent this by a local Vicar…yes I feel very encouraged! Hi Ish Just wanted to encourage you. Was in our church school this morning for the weekly collective worship I lead and there was a problem with the projector, so we were not able to have the song words up. I asked a teacher, what song did they think that the children would know off by heart, that they wouldn’t need the words for. The answer came, as quick as a flash. ‘Father God I wonder’!
