ही friends

Hi friends and supporters.

To all those who follow this blog on Facebook you might be wondering where the video is. Well i have been told that my face is more suited to radio and i´m scareing little children (only joking)
i thought i would go back to typing for this week. It was great to see so many friends at conference and to find out that so many were following all that i am doing via facebook and twitter etc. a special hello to David and Pia Woodfield whom i respect so much thanks for reading these updates.

God really blessed me at conference i really enjoyed the dary northrop sessions and keith was great not to mention sy. it was a great conference. I also spent some time with family in Derby and preaching in Coventry. It was great to see all my friends and sharing a chalet with Iain and Rachel Hesketh along with Sean Charlesworth and Mrs C. thanks for that.

As you look to the future it can be quite fearful sometimes. No longer guaranteed a stable salary and pension and i always find it hard weighing up the balance of living by faith with your finances and also being a good steward of them. I realise i am completely dependant on the generosity of my friends and family, that too can bring feelings of guilt like am i acheiving enough for the Lord in order that their giving is justified.

However when i look back over this year i can truly say i have seen God do some amazing things and in spite of me sometimes, he is great. we have more people attending the church, more publicty and better relations with the town hall.

Faith and fear have the same definition "seeing those things that are not as if they are already" its what you choose to believe, radical faith or irational fear.

this i find hard to do, i find it really difficult to ask for support financially. prayer is fine, talk about money thats harder.
the truth is i need to be bolder in this. so here goes...

i need more sponsors. those who have caught just a wiff of the vision to see this nation changed. if you can support me with a one off gift that will be great if you can support on monthly basis even just 5 pounds a month then fantastic. there is security for me and Naomi when we know a certain amount will be there it helps us to budget better. if you would like to support than either message me back or contact Elim Missions
www.elimmissions.co.uk for contact information. you can remain private in your giving if you wish.
thanks to those including my sending church coventry who are already faithfully supporting me.

if finance is not an option i dearly value your prayers again this is the most powerful way of supporting me.

thanks for taling time to read this longer usual update.
lots of Love from the Hodgsons
