Remebrance sunday

This last week i heard the sad news that my old friend Kev Painter from Burton on trent had gone home to be with the Lord. i think he was in his forties a great genuine guy with a great heart and love for the Lord and his family. Myself Ron G, Cath (kevs wife) Lizzy Davo and the Late Chris hunt use to sing in a choir together in Derby we had some great times and they will be with me all my life. although i hadn't seen him in a long time, i will miss Kev my thoughts and Prayers are with Cath, Robyn and his family at this time.

We have all been reminded of the sacrifice i service men and women have paid over the last century and on sunday we had a 2 minute silence and i preached about denying ourselves and taking up our cross, many responded. i used some accounts of people like dietrich bonhoeffer who gave there lives for what they believed.

we are still in the early stages of the youth group and have just recieved back from the printers a whole load of leaflets to give out.
I am also pioneering an older peoples group called Golden Hour on november the 18th this is for those of our community of a certain age and maturity. i am to young and wrinke free but i might still get in.
please pray for these ventures.

and on a personal note....... i am soon getting married to my lovely fiance Naomi in castillo de monda. on Nov 21st please pray that it will be a great day,
any cards etc can be sent to

Last sunday Howard brought some awesome teaching about end time prophecy. This teaching i believe is vital to the body of Christ today. as always in chrisendom whenever there is any flaky teaching on a particular subject we don't counteract it we ignore it (in general). Maybe its good to take a break from "lifestyle preaching" as good and as valuable that is. the other excuse i have heard is people saying "i just don't know enough about it" if i was to follow that logic i would never preach again. On the radio they are talking about it, there is a new movie about it, maybe we should open revelation again and allow ourselves to be stirrred and excited about Christs 2nd coming. your comments are welcome....

Pain in Spain

Please keep praying for me, last week i was diagnosed as having a kidney stone. i know i am a man and in general we don't do pain very well, but this is very painful. i am on anti biotics and pain killers. it has come at such a bad time, because we have just welcomed berenice to our team and she is helping me to set up a weekly youth club. please pray that God heals and we can get on with the task in hand.

The Radio station are pleased with our show, its the first time they have really done anything like this before. they judge popularity by response so i am asking all my friends and supporters to email in and of course listen to the show. you can download it at www.thefamilyfellowship.com or listen live every sunday 7 am uk time on the internet www.talkradioeurope.com . we are recording somemore so if you like to send us an email to 2revs@thefamilyfellowship.com we will include you in our show. we believe this show will highten our appeal as a church to the local area.

We are really sensing God in our meetings and are believing that God will continue to show us success.

please keep praying for me that financial provision will increase and i don't have to eat any savings i have left. thank you so much to all my existing supporters i am so grateful that i can be released to work in this church.

now don't forget to email your request now!!

Renovations, Radio, wedding, Newsletter and Berenice

Hi guys, thanks for reading this blog i will endeavor to keep you upto date as best i can.

we are currently having our community renovated (area where the church is located) with new tiles and railings. which mean't for the last few weeks we have not been able to access the building which mean't no church. we attended a spanish speaking church in fuengirola and although it was hard for me to understand all of it, i certainly felt Gods presence in a tangible way. we are hoping to be back open this sunday 11 am.

the Radio show is going well with lots of good feedback, we had an atheist contact the show asking if Jesus was circumsized then how come you Christians aren't required to be, well if you wanna know how we answered it you should have listened to the show. every sunday 8 am and 9pm online at www.talkradioeurope.com

rest assured there will be a newsletter shortly.

A young lady from elim church in thonon will shortly being arriving to do 3 months work experience with us here in the church. her name is bernice she is 17 yrs old i met her whilst involved with a mission to her church last year please pray for her during this time.

on a personal level Naomi starts her new job today at the british college, please pray that she settles in well and is a great witness to God there.

well bye for now, i'm missing you all but not the british weather.
