Hi to all our wonderful partners,

I trust you all have had a wonderful Christmas and that 2013 will be a year of God’s grace to you and that you will know Him pouring out His Spirit over you in amazing ways.

Thank-you for your ongoing love and support.  You have no idea how much you mean to us.  We don’t share our gratefulness to you often enough but we honestly could not continue the work in South Africa without you.  There is no doubt in my mind that the USA churches, teams, volunteers and giving have become a critical cornerstone of what the Lord is doing in Cape Town.  We are humbled by your generosity and partnership.  Thank-you to each one and to each church who gave sacrificially to us and for all the other ways in which you have supported us.

It is our Annual Partners Conference time soon.  We have kept you regularly informed as to the dates in a number of emails and now it is time to register.   I really hope that you will be able to do everything in your power to be with us in Nashville at Brentwood Baptist Church from the 25th – 26th February.  It is going to be an exciting time as we bring a significant group from South Africa to be with you all and update you on what God is doing.  We are going to have some great live reports from Managers who can’t be at the conference via Skype.  We think we are getting better and better at this each year and I promise you a wonderful informative and God inspired time.  I cannot emphasise how important it is for you to be there.  If you are possibly planning on visiting Living Hope this year – then in my book it is a must to be there.

In addition we will be giving you some fantastic news on the Living Hope movie and some sneak preview cuts of it which will blow your mind and make you cry!  You don’t want to miss this.

I would love for you to bring your missions and senior pastor as I long to engage with them about what I have learnt from Scripture about ministry to the poor and needy and about Mission’s mobilisation.  There will also be Living Hope Books, CD and T-shirt sales!

On a personal note, thank-you to many of you who have prayed for me and my health situation. It has not been an easy time for Avril and I but we have been conscious of your support in interest and prayers.  Your Facebook messages have encouraged me no end through this time.  I am still struggling somewhat healthwise but am happy to say that I am progressing bit by bit.

I look forward to seeing all of you at what promises to be a momentous Partners Conference next month.

Your friend and grateful partner in Christ
