Seek Serve Follow - on the road


Last week I spoke at the first two of a seventeen date tour spreading throughout the rest of this year that will be raising awareness of Seek Serve Follow.

Seek Serve Follow is an exciting discipleship course that Viz-A-Viz Ministries has produced alongside Girls’ Brigade England and Wales. The purpose of Seek Serve Follow is to encourage and equip Girls’ Brigade leaders to become closer followers of Jesus thus enabling them to become more effective in reaching girls and young women with the gospel.

Both events were really encouraging with a really positive response and level of interest from leaders attending. Please pray that this initiative will play a significant role in helping many girls and young women to know Christ in the coming days.

I also spoke recently on the east coast at Skegness at the Salvation Army East Midlands Area gathering. Several hundred attended the rally and I was able to speak about the power of changed lives in communicating the message of Jesus to people today.

The response was incredibly enthusiastic and I spoke with many regarding their commitment to take steps forward in making Jesus known.

As well as travelling and speaking, over the past few days I have been at meetings considering the development of Arise, our children’s ministry in partnership with Girl’s Brigade. It is our intention to begin 100 new ‘ALF’ clubs that will enable children with no knowledge of church to discover Jesus and become his followers. We are currently exploring partnerships with churches and denominations across the country to establish these clubs. Please pray that God opens the right doors!

This week I will be at Optimum training speaking to our first and second year students about such things as Hero’s of the Faith, The Spread of the Gospel by the Early Apostles, and even taking them out onto the streets to engage in personal evangelism!

On Sunday I will be preaching locally in Billericay and then off to Northern Ireland for the second leg of the Seek Serve Follow tour and in the midst of all this there are some hugely exciting developments in the United States. I will keep you in touch!
