More travelling - spreading the word

For some reason, it seems to have got much harder to write this blog in the past few months.
No idea why I struggle more to put words on the screen, but it is frustrating and I need to be more intentional about it.

The last 2 weeks have involved more travel and meetings. It is exciting being able to meet lots of different people and share about the ministry of Logos Hope. Last week my travels took me to Cornwall, Devon and Dorset to meet up with pastors and leaders as well as long term supporters of the Ships Ministry. One of the highlights of this trip was to be able to spend a night with my uncle and aunt in Bournemouth. I haven't seen them for 8 years, since my nana's funeral, so it was great to be able to have a meal with them and my 2 cousins.
























I also had a full day of meetings at a Baptist church in Slough near Heathrow airport. It was a real privilege to be asked to speak in both morning services and the evening service. This is a church that has been financially supporting the ship ministry for many years, so it was great to be able to say thank you.























This past week we have struggled a bit as a family as both Liam and Kara have gone down with a nasty sickness bug. Thankfully it only last 24 hours but it's not nice. We are hoping that Heather and I don't get it.
Also this weekend, our dog, Jaz has injured his paw while out running after a ball, so we had to take him for an emergency vet appointment this morning.

This coming week, I'm back to Northern Ireland again for a number of meetings. After this week, the next trip away will be to Beirut, Lebanon to take a team out to visit the Logos Hope. I'm really looking forward to that trip.
