So here I am travelling up to St Andrews to join the Scottish New Wine Gathering called CLAN (it's not as Brave-heart as it sounds, it stands for Christians Linked Across the Nation, less sword fighting and more worship and teaching...) I'm travelling alone as I have friends there that I'm staying with. Indeed the … Continue reading Tavelling alone just aint the same…
If there ever is a picture that epitomises the desperate need for evangelism, it is this…
So, I'm on the Big Hearted Tour on the South Coast. It's been a good full on couple of days so far mixed with speaking and training engagements as well as a healthy dose of getting out into the communities with some good news. This Tesco express was more or less opposite Westbourne Baptist Church. … Continue reading If there ever is a picture that epitomises the desperate need for evangelism, it is this…
Big Hearted tour in the East
It took some motivation, but after two large cups of coffee I eventually managed to unload the van of all the boxes and big-hearted resources that I used over these past 4 days, including all my clowning and magic show equipment and a 20 foot art installation called 'before I die I want to...' It's … Continue reading Big Hearted tour in the East
It’s late and I’m on the bus home from prison…
I've just spent the day in prison. Well it's called a 'Secure Education Centre' but it's really more a prison for children age 13-18, even though there is an amazing educational staff and centre there. These boys don't go anywhere unaccompanied inside the centre and there is no way they could ever escape. I shadowed … Continue reading It’s late and I’m on the bus home from prison…

Painting the gospel – ‘Jesus the name above all names’
...article in Christian Today. Last weekend I became President of the Baptist Union at our annual assembly in London. The year long role is going to be exhilarating as I’m embarking on a ‘Big-hearted’ tour, working with as many Baptist churches as possible in evangelism visiting each of the 13 associations around the UK. I … Continue reading Painting the gospel – ‘Jesus the name above all names’
I’ve got a carrier bag full of leaflets, free tea bags, promo dvd’s and a free mug…
I've just spent an hour or so google eyed at all the resources available out there for Christians. The range is extensive: from new chairs to puppets, bibles to cars, there was literally 101 different products available at the international Christian resources Exhibition at Sandown Park. It wasn't the desire to check out new church … Continue reading I’ve got a carrier bag full of leaflets, free tea bags, promo dvd’s and a free mug…
OK, so what does it boil down to? An opportunity to share my heart…
So, day 4 of serving as President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB) and I'm reflecting on what it all means... It is a role that I humbly believe that God has given and asked me to do. It's a role where I am able to influence people within churches of the BUGB … Continue reading OK, so what does it boil down to? An opportunity to share my heart…
