Developing the Leaders Around You - John C. Maxwell

So much is happening it is difficult to know where to begin. Especially when my blogs seem so infrequent!

My wedding is coming up now very soon (Feb 16th to be exact) T
The reception is at the Gate (see above) and the service itself at City Temple. It is going to be a great day and I am looking forward to it very much.

At Ignite, much of my time is spent leading a project called IgniteHope. Please find out more more logging onto www.igniteme.org/hope.
IgniteHope is looking to get 500 young people and about 200 adults to gather together between May 2nd-%th for great worship and teaching and then undertake 7,500 hours of social action and acts of kindness.

What has been encouraging in the last few days is the way that God has encouraged me. He has found a few really good people to come alongside to make this project work. Ben Franks is an intern at Rhiwbina Baptist church who will look after our community projects; Ruth Samways is our new Procurement officer. That means she is responsible for sourcing equipment and people to deliver IgniteHope; John Hurst is going to look after our corporate sponsors. In church on Sunday, a guy I got into a casual chat with seemed to catch the vision and asked how he could give to the project and one church sent a cheque for £1,000! God is good.

In my spare time I am reading more about discipleship. This is a subject along with leadership that I come back to time and again. Expect more musings on all these things soon!
