Oh my goodness. It has been months since my last blog, and so much has happened since I last wrote. Here are some highlights.


The most exciting thing for me is that the More to Life materials that I have been writing (published by Lifeway in the US) www.lifeway.com are now completed and released. The quality of these is great and the interest in them is huge. I have taken my own picture of these on my table at home just to show that they are really here!

We will soon be beginning an initiative in 3 states in North East America (Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York) called the Rooftop. The Rooftop is a series of clusters taking place across the 3 states. Leaders will attend and I will be training them in the More to Life approach with a view that they will then use it in their church and introduce it to others. A key aspect each cluster will be the rooftop experience where we will go to a rooftop overlooking the city and seek a new vision for the lost. I encourage you to read Acts chapters 10 and 11 – you will see, I believe, what we feel God is inspiring us to do. If you want to share anything with me about these then please email me.
In addition I have just completed a series of meetings across Texas where there was considerable interest among significant churches both in using More to Life but also championing it to other churches. I was particularly inspired by meeting with one ‘mega church’ senior pastor who thinks he may teach More to Life to the whole church over six Sunday’s because he wants all the people in his church to engage in faith sharing.
Beyond the US, Lifeway are also providing support for me to continue the development of More to Life in several other English speaking countries around the world. This is a great (and yet another) ‘God thing’ where so many of the contacts I have been building with the Baptist World Alliance can now be resourced by Lifeway. Also, I am speaking at an international distributors meeting with Lifeway in St Louis in June this year and a really exciting piece of news is that Lifeway have made it possible for me to speak at the international distributors service which is part of a huge conference hosted in the US. I will be speaking to around 300 distributors from all over the world. As I said ‘it is a God thing.’
We will also soon be beginning the production of an Hispanic More to Life ‘Mas a la Vida’ subject to funding. Please pray that interest expressed in this will turn into tangible support for the project.
As well as developing these contacts I have spoken at a number of churches where I have challenged believers to ‘cross the line’ and make a decision to be a believer who shares their faith with others – responses have been so encouraging. The best part each time has been when the pastor has asked people to share out loud why they have come forward. The depth and sincerity of sharing is so exciting – God has been touching many lives and filling people with the passion that He has for the lost.

I will be in touch soon.
