Towards the Goal - Ambassadors Football (Animator)
I would appreciate your prayers as I go to Kenya mid-April to train a group of 90 pastors and coaches how to use the TTG material. We received a very encouraging video from a young man in Brazil, who said how much he has been enjoying using the material - and how he wishes he had seen it growing up! The feedback from our Easter animation has also been a great encouragement from all that have seen it around the world! The combined total views on both the main video and the series of shorts we put out is over 15,000 - which is more than we could have imagined beforehand! Thanks so much for your prayers and support of me in this project.

I’d love to share some encouragements from recent weeks. Soldier M is leaving the army soon. He has plans for the future, but patiently listened as I told him that without Christ in the center of his life - and reconciliation with God - he would not find fulfilment. I explained the gospel to him. He took a Bible. Soldier L attended the Bible study, and we looked at the parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee. Leo wanted to know what ‘righteousness’ and ‘justified’ (words in the passage) meant. He understood that we are not saved by our own righteous deeds. He allowed me to gently challenge him about the way he sometimes takes the Lord’s name in vain. These are just two of many examples of the opportunities that the Lord is giving - please pray for changed hearts and more open doors!
Woolwich Congregational Church (Pastor)
It’s been an encouragement last few months with some great street evangelism and abortion education display work with CBRUK. When going out on the streets, I asked the Lord to give me conversations with Muslims and JWs. He answered abundantly more than I could have hoped - giving me a convo with an Afghan Muslim who used to work with the British in Kabul (where I was based!), and then five different JWs! Please pray for more boldness and open doors - and that more members of our congregation would want to come with us onto the streets! I have a number of Saturday talks over the next month (men’s breakfasts and evangelism evenings) - please pray for energy and the Lord’s blessing upon the work.
