Quite simply, my greatest joy in ministry is raising others up and releasing them to minister in the Kingdom.

It's always an oddly exciting and satisfying event when our firewood is delivered each year.
We only get our wood once a year, and it supplies our wood burner in winter, which is our only source of heating in our house.
Last night's Soup Kitchen was as chilled as ever, especially as Remi was once again with us offering free haircuts to those that wanted one.
The evening was also brightened up by the visit of Fuad!
We've not seen Fuad for quite a while, so it was great to catch up with him again, and it was a joy to be able to bless him with a haircut as well as soup.
