Today I am in Belfast with Bill Gaither and the homecoming friends. My mate Trevor King and I are putting shows on here and in Glasgow and London. They have all sold well, praise God! I have been hanging at the venue doing whatever I could to help Trevor. The most daunting thing was to take his 7 seater MPV to the hotel to collect Bill and Gloria. Little did they know that I had no idea where the venue was. I was worried that I might get separated from the van I was following. Fortunately it was all fine. Had a chat with Mr Gaither and we discussed the possibility of a show in cardiff at some point. Well I am going now to check out the show. Currently they are playing for longer than Springsteen!

It has been a while since I updated my blog. The kidney stones really knocked me out for a few weeks. Now I am back and seemingly at full strength, thank you God!

Some recent highlights include selling out the Southbank Centre for the London Gaither Homecoming. 2,300 tickets sold. We have now released to choir stalls and the artists have promised to turn around a few times! U@ are performing in the round and now so is Bill Gaither, what a legend!

Last weekend Lesley and I travelled up to London to attend the wedding of Naomi Hill to Andy Hutchison http://andyhutch.com/ Nigel and Gill were there along with Anita and David and two of our former interns, Lois and Meghan. The legend that is Les Moir made up at our table at the reception and this ensured a good time was had by all. In fact it was an incredible wedding. We loved the music. Worship was lead by Tim Hughes and Martin Smith. Cathy Burton performed and tracks by Elvis Costello and Dexys Midnight Runners all featured. I freely admit to struggling to hold the tears back during the speeches..........a lovely day.

Yesterday I spoke a couple of times at the Impact The nations conference. it must have gone ok because yet again I heard the slightly back-handed compliment "I did not know you could speak like that".... I met for the first time Simon Barrington the CEO of Samaritans Purse and Billy Graham organisation. This, I think will be a great contact, particularly for Ignite in Liberia.

Last night we went to visit Mark and Carina Galozzi Hibbert and their gorgeous new baby, Eliah.

Tonight will be the 3rd Street Pastors commissioning service. Another 8 Street Pastors are been added to the rotas. In addition to Chief Superintendent Josh Jones, we are also expecting Jenny Randserson AM and Jenny Willot MP at the service.

God is good!
