The Kingdom Looks Wobbly but it is Alive!
I just returned recently from a middle eastern country (sorry to make that sound so frightfully glamorous and mysterious – I can’t tell you which one as it’s not totally safe for the people there) after visiting church planting friends. My friends and I met on theology training as
Surrender Doesn’t Look Like We Expect
I had a plan of how my life would be, I trained as a physiotherapist because I was going to go overseas and work with children in orphanages, the lost and forgotten ones, written off because of their disabilities. I was going to be surrounded by the slender arms of loving children who I’d fixed [&
How River City Church came to be – Part 3
As a church Jubilee felt they had heard God say EAST EAST EAST (Part 1), meaning we should start a church in the East of Hull. Then John and I had felt God speak to us as a couple and say EAST EAST EAST (PART 2) to us, confirm we were to lead the church […]
How River City Church Came To Be – Part 1
I’ve been meaning, for a while, to try to record our journey of planting River City Church. There are a number of reasons for this 1) so that we don’t forget what an incredible journey we’re on; 2) to remind ourselves it is Jesus’ idea and not our own; 3) to list some of the
Final Farewell: In Pictures

Strip clubs, knives and addiction
“I do not need safety as much as I need Jesus.” This is fast becoming my ‘mantra’. I find myself repeating this lyric from a Rend Collective song rather more often than I would like. For a long time I have lived a rather comfortable middle class existence. I have taken my saf
Committing ‘Career Suicide’ to Plant a Church
When you were in your twenties what did you hope your life would amount to? A flash apartment in the capital? Posh car? Award winning career? I did. But then, at the age of 20, I became a Christian and a lot of that changed. I still wanted all those things but something new began […]
Why Surrender My Agenda?
Not only a great name for a blog but also my life’s ambition. Having been a Christian for a long time I know that God has a plan for me. The bible tells me so in Jeremiah 29:11. But my life drastically changed when I learned to TRUST that this was true. I was a […]
