I love living life fast and full! We have just crammed well over 40,000kms of travel into the last 17 days. That’s a lot of time sitting in planes, trains, cars…and the London tube for one short, scary trip! But, thank you Jesus for a fruitful, effective and safe trip! Let’s hope this jet-lag fades fast!

There is a stirring across Europe of visionary leaders with a spirit of advancement, and churches which are seeing new levels of influence and favour and soul winning in their cities. We were so impressed by the people we met and engaged with!

I preached 12 times in 5 cities and saw over 150 people say Yes to Jesus – many for the very first time ever!

We were so blessed to be able to connect with old friends and forge new friendships for the future. In fact, these connection moments were some of the greatest highlights of the trip for us – and God really spoke to us out of them.

After all the frenetic pace of the past few weeks it is so good to be home! There’s not much that compares to the buzz of being reunited with your children after such a long time away! The hugs, squeezes, kisses, excitement, laughter, sharing of presents and catching up on the wonder of our kids lives is just amazing! We are truly blessed people!
