Don't Lose Heart





Sometimes I find it too easy to focus on everything I'm doing, the ministry that's happening and the people around me that I care about instead of focusing on JESUS. Slowly but surely, as I focus intently on these things that I love, I realize that my eyes are no longer on Jesus but on what's going on around me.

 I'm so thankful for his GRACE and LOVE for me in these moments. 

He gives me time to reflect and to refocus and to come back to prioritizing the most important thing in my life; my relationship with HIM. Sometimes this is easier said than done, but I know the Lord gives me strength to find a balance between spending time with him and ALL the other things I need to do! 

I know I'm not the only one to struggle with this from time to time, and if you feel like you're in a similar place, DON'T LOSE HEART. The Lord loves you and will give you grace & strength for the mundane everyday things that need to happen. 

When you get a chance, just talk to HIM for a little bit and let him remind you of how much He LOVES YOU!

UGANDA ~ SWAZILAND ~ ENGLAND

From working with prostitutes in Liverpool to high school students in Uganda, and tent revivals in Swaziland, November & December has been full of adventures!
Pearl's Project in Liverpool!
My first week with my new team was incredible! From team meetings to prayer & worship times to one on ones and getting to know the women we minister to--- it was a lot to take in but I can't wait to jump into it all again now that I'm back in the UK! We did a 'Give-Away Day' for the women! We set up this church with different stations of donated clothes, tea/coffee, delicious food, nail painting & foot massages!! The women really enjoyed themselves, opened up to us and shared where they were at in life and felt sooo loved by us & our Father God! Pray that the women continue to see how God is working in their lives and know how much He loves them!

Missions Trip to Uganda!
3 Church Services, 2 High schools, 1 Book Launch!
Rob and I had an amazing time with Dennis Sempebwa, Lisa Romesburg and Mary Njoki from Eagles Wings International in Uganda! We had the privilege of ministering in 2 different high schools, giving out 3,600 copies of 'Timeless Truths' that Dennis wrote in order to equip the next generation with tools to achieve their dreams and gain wisdom to effect every sphere of society with biblical principles! We also ministered in 3 services in a church in Kampala. It was incredible to see many give their lives to the Lord after hearing testimonies of what Jesus can do with your life! Many were delivered and set free from bondage and evil spiritual influences. Sounds a lot like Acts doesn't it!!! Here's the team at the main Christian Television station in Uganda! Dennis was interviewed about his book and we were able to watch it all on set!

Swaziland with my Family!
We had a lovely time visiting my family in Swaziland! For us, it was a time to rest, spend time with my wonderful family & friends and meaningfully connect with the Lord! England is a very fast paced culture so I welcomed this 2 week break! Catching up with old friends and having them meet Rob was so much fun!



TENT REVIVALS! My parents disciple almost 200 pastors in Swaziland and recently they bought a large tent in order for local pastors to do 'tent revivals'! A tent revival is where they set up this tent and sound system in a rural area of Swaziland for 1-2 weeks and every night they tell everyone about Jesus! As the week carries on, more and more people come because word spreads of what Jesus does in these meetings. Rob and I were asked to come speak and minister in whatever way the Lord leads us. It was an incredible opportunity to share our testimonies to nearly 300 people! We did an 'alter call' for the young people to come forward for those who want to receive the Holy Spirit and be empowered to live righteously and fulfil the calling God has on their lives and 120 young people came forward for prayer!!!
What's Next???
After a very exciting first Christmas with Rob's family here in the Wirral, I'm ready for a spectacular 2017! I can't wait to see what the Lord does in this next year--- There's a limitless amount of joys and adventures to be had!
My next adventure is taking me to YWAM in Wrexham, Wales to teach on a Discipleship Training School for a week on the topic of 'The Holy Spirit'. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to teach and I'm very expectant of what the Lord is going to do in us and through me in this week!!! Please be praying for me during this time, from January 8-13, that the Holy Spirit is free to do everything & all that He wants to in this time and that I teach the Word of God truthfully & accurately!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for all your encouragement, support, prayer and shared memories in this last year! It's such a privilege to be a part of the family of God and for us to do life together. It's be an honour to minister alongside many of you and to be praying with you and hearing testimonies from you of what the Lord has done all over the world!
Many thanks to those who have generously supported me financially over the last year! Because you have been open handed with what the Lord has blessed you with, I've been able to carry on the work the Lord has for me here in England and many other nations in this last year!!!
You're welcome to partner with me again OR for the first time in this next year! There are 2 ways you can be a part of what I'm doing here in England --- PRAY & GIVE ---
Pray--- wild, radical prayers of faith to see Jesus encounter the people I'm ministering to and those living here in England. Pray that I continue to be soft & sensitive to the Lord and what he wants to do and speak to those around me!
Give--- either a one time donation or become a monthly supporter!
All donations are tax-deductible for Americans and enable me to continue ministering the love, joy & salvation of the Lord w YWAM in the United Kingdom and many other nations!
I trust you had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and I pray that this NEW YEAR is full of joy, grace, favour and blessings from the Lord!
