TOAM08 – JOIN A CHURCH PLANT in a European City – Prayer Evening Report

July 11, 2008

It’s very hard to describe in a blog post the combination of a raucous celebration, a fervent prayer meeting, a missions update, and a special offering evening that was the final night of our Leaders Conference. We collected over £1.1 million. Rather than trying to capture the whole evening I thought I’d speak about just [...]

This morning I attended the second session of the training track, Prophetic Encounter.

TOAM08 – David Devenish – A Call to the Nations (Jeremiah 1)

July 10, 2008

I was getting tired last night, so I devoted more of my attention to being personally impacted by this message and less to typing. Thus, these notes will probably be shorter than some of the other sessions, which is probably just as well! Last night’s main session was taken by David Devenish. Dave is based [...]

TOAM08 – David Stroud on 1 Samuel 14

July 9, 2008

During the worship time this morning, Keith Hazell shared an interesting prophetic word. It spoke about a wind coming that would shake things in our land, but also a great time of blessing for us. He felt that there would be new alliances forged and new opportunities presented to the church by the government. This [...]

Book Both "Together" Conferences NOW

February 28, 2008

I can’t offer two conferences for the price of one, but I can—in one post—discuss two conferences which, for all the similarities of their names, do have some important differences. For a start, they are on opposite sides of the Atlantic, so booking into the wrong one would be a significant logistical headache! I am [...]
