Firstly. A great big thank you to all of you who responded to my birthday request and have agreed to contribute £10 a month to help with the expenses when I travel to minister in Churches nationally. Secondly, of course this means that if you are a Church considering an Ish event…now is the very best (less expensive time) to get a date fixed in your diary! Thirdly, I want my birthday to be a time of giving and not just receiving. So, throughout the merry month of August ANY CD that you order from our website shop, I will send you the duplicate album download for FREE. Now before…

We can’t visit everyone we would like to visit but there are many ways that we can communicate with them to encourage them Before you listen to the song, ask God to speak to you through these words from Scripture.

I love Jesus so much… but does He really come first in my life? 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.

I feel that the Lord and I agree on this. I will cease to travel and do gigs when a) I realise that I am not physically or mentally up to giving my very best when doing them. b) When I cease to enjoy doing them and stop getting excited at the thought of putting them in my diary.

So whilst I am feeling rather excited about the coming year and still visiting a few churches doing my ‘when the road is rough and steep testimony concerts’ and ‘all age praise parties and celebrations,…
