Speaking the Truth in Love
This afternoon we have the opportunity to go to a local nursing home for a carol service. Some of the people at the Ford Mission Hall made the arrangements and asked me to give a short message. We will be going there at 2pm today. This evening I am speaking at Bethesda and finishing a…
We;re alive! Apologies for my lack in posting recently. With the move, issues with the house and a visit back to Northern Ireland this week I have had little time to get online and post updates. On Monday I travelled back to Northern Ireland, picked up the Andersons from the airport and then we all…
Having made something of a major move, and due to circumstances not been able to give too much explanation initially, I thought I would share a little more now that I am able. The short answer is that we are in Sunderland to share the Gospel with the lost, to edify believers and help train…
We have been in Sunderland around three weeks and it has felt non-stop. We have had many answers to prayer and are enjoying getting to know the people here. God has blessed with some very kind and thoughtful friends, without whom these past weeks would have been almost impossible. Since we have been here we…

Well, we have arrived! The last few days have been incredibly busy, but have had a great weekend and are now in our new home. On Saturday my little brother, Natalio, got married. Today we arrived in Sunderland and are busy unpacking. I have much to share, but at the moment we are just relaxing.…

At this time I was still working in management in Tesco. In late August of 2005 Faith Baptist extended a call to me…
It has been a good few days at Faith and for our family. On Friday we did not have any teens turn up for our meeting. So, two of our young men, Stephen and Alan, went out to find them. We operate on the basis that if they will not come to us then we…
Carrie has done a wonderful job of packing and much of the house is done. But, there is still much left to do. Tomorrow will be a very full day as it is the last chance to get everything ready. I am finding all the little things are harder to take care of than the…
