I am not a very patient person. I like things to happen exactly when they are supposed to. I like knowing in advance when something is scheduled to occur.

What comes next
I don’t know if you have ever been involved in a big mission effort. Maybe you helped at a summer camp, or your church put on a special outreach event. Maybe your scripture union had a big praise night, or you were involved in street reach projects in your community. Maybe you had a powerful […]

Help us raise £4000 for clean water in South Sudan
Every day I like to drink a lot of water – so much so that one doctor has told me I drink too much water, but no harm has come from it yet. However for the people of South Sudan even drinking a little water puts them at huge risk of harm. My church (St […]
