Well, once more I've headed overseas. Last Tuesday saw me take to the skies as I crossed a couple of continents and oceans to land back in Maui. Leaving Bath, my family and friends, I found my way back to a small, heavily isolated spit of land where, for some reason, God has decided to do things with me. This is a place of great growth, challenge and blessing. But far from seeking the place of God for comfort I’m back in Maui simply to seek God.

This year has been an interesting year for me. A bit of an “oo-er” year with moments that had me wondering about all manner of things. I’ve been all over the place, and back again. God is good, eh? He is faithful above all things. There’s a lesson in nearly every event in life, if only we are willing to learn it. That has been pretty much a re-occurring thought to me these last few months.

So, while I’m in Maui I’ll be helping with what I can, keen to work with YWAM Maui as I believe so deeply in their version – to see the nations transformed. I’ll also be looking around for other opportunities. There’ll be time spent praying and planning for the next stage of my life. I’ll have a chance to contribute and to receive – to join in again with this expression of the church that is so heavily evidenced by His breath of life.

And when you think of me, shoot out a prayer – and stay in touch! There’s a variety of ways to keep in touch, not least through this website. Wherever you are, may you be blessed with the strength and tools to accomplish what has been given to you. This world is our mission-field and there’s oh so much to do. If you don’t know what’s out there, pray and ask, and He will reveal great things to you!

Well once again, dear friends it is, as always, onwards and upwards …
