After a well timed break over Christmas and the month of January, we have returned refreshed and ready, with God's help, to face 2016 head on. One month into our ministry here in the UK we have had some magnificent times in God's presence with many congregations in the South of England. Many people have shared testimonies of physical, emotional and spiritual healing during our times of ministry. Join us in praising God for all that he is doing, one life at a time!
We are currently on tour in the UK until 3rd April. This year, God willing, we will be touring in America, UK (North and Scotland), Poland, Israel, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Nigeria.
We plan to record a Polish album at the end of March in preparation for our tour in August and September. Please pray for our Polish translator and for us that the album would be a blessing to the body of Christ in Poland.
Please pray for us that God's purposes and plans for us and the nations would prevail (Proverbs 19:21).
A VAN FAREWELL!!
Our GMC Van used for UK and Europe
R.I.P. GMC Many of you may have read in our Spanish newsletter of 2015 that our vehicle broke down in France on the way to Spain. Of course the Lord intervened and we had rental vehicles to complete our tour without the van and trailer.
This breakdown was in a way 'the straw the broke the camel's back' but it also confirmed what we knew in our hearts..... It was time for us to sell our GMC van that we have used for our tours in the UK and Europe for almost 18 years.
Over the past few years we had very little use of the van and we were constantly having to spend money on repairs without much return.

In the meantime we have been renting vehicles to minister in the UK and with a testimony which would be too long to go into here, we have sold our van.
We are now in the process of selling the trailer that we imported with the van from the USA (see picture above) as it will be too heavy to tow for the type of vehicle that we need.
The future Looking forward we are very prayerful about our future transport needs. If we do not have a reliable vehicle to carry us and a trailer for our equipment, we cannot minister easily or effectively. Having the right transport is obviously a vital part of our mission to the UK and Europe.
As missionaries of course, the Lord gives us the 'never give up' spirit in every situation but in this case it was time to use wisdom and to step out by faith.
We have been faithful as much possible and looked after what we had. However, we know that we cannot see our van on top of a towing truck on its way back to our UK base, ever again!
We have weighed up scenarios and our financial position and have to take positive steps towards the future. Our vision is to purchase a new VW Caravelle 2.0 L Diesel van and a new trailer. Our heart is to have a vehicle that has a good warranty, so that we can travel throughout the UK and Europe without any unnecessary concerns on the mission field.
How can you help us?
First and foremost, please could you help to lift this up in prayer. We are trusting the Lord for His intervention and provision.
