Memories & memorials…

I recently found these old photo’s… here’s some of the story… I answered the call into vocational ministry in 1991, at a church in Port Elizabeth which was right on the doorstep of my alma mater, the University of Port Elizabeth.

The Carer who Made a Difference…

I just had to share this story my friend Steve Morris told me yesterday about a carer who made a difference. Since becoming a Christ-follower at Every Nation London about 6 years ago, Steve has gone on to study to be an Anglican vicar and is now in the final year of his training. The [...]
