Come Over To Macedonia And Help Us!
November 28, 2020
As I read Acts 16, I realise this call in a vision to Paul was very clear; so unequivocal that he instantly prepared to go, firmly "concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel" there. (v 10)
I find this part of the biblical account of Paul's life fascinating. What a man of God Paul became. A fearless preacher, teacher and evangelist. His knowledge, steeped in the Tora, enabled him to foot it theologically with the best of Jewish leaders an...

Not matter where we are in the world at the moment, Covid-19 has impacted all of our lives, and as a result, we are all having to rethink how we live and work. Part of that rethinking also requires us to relook at how we do church and what that means to the way we live out o...

Mission's Not Dead
March 7, 2020
Years ago, a friend of mine asked me the question, “If you saw ten men carrying a heavy log down the road and there were nine at one end and only one at the other, which end would you go to in order to help?” I’ve never forgotten the challenge that was to my heart at t...
Take A Risk
January 17, 2020
As a little boy, I loved hearing the stories of Abraham, Joseph, David, Daniel, Peter, Paul, … the list goes on. Growing up, these men were my heroes. And they still are I must add! And if I had been a little girl, I am sure my heart and mind would have deeply impacte...
is commendation relevant today?
July 26, 2019
So, what is commendation, anyway? It’s a word we don’t typically use in our everyday conversations, is it? The Oxford dictionary puts it this way, “an act of commending or recommending (esp a person to another’s favour)”
For me that’s a clear explanation that fit...
Learn To Do Right; Seek Justice
May 2, 2019
God’s heart breaks for the displaced, disadvantaged, marginalised and exploited in this world. In the Bible these groups of people are described as ‘fatherless’, ‘widows’, ‘the poor’, ‘the foreigner’, ‘the afflicted’ and ‘victims’.
While that’s no...

Last week, a dear friend of mine died. She was a lady of prayer, a lady who also had a deep interest in mission. She was 91 years old.
For many years I worked in the same office as this lady. She had an outstanding Christian character which I admired. I was humbled to know t...
