As we begin a new year with our Basic leadership students, I’ve been taking them through a series of discussions and reflections to help them get the most out of this past year. In order to then plan how to make this coming year intentionally fruitful. Some of us are great a remembering the past, others being present in today and others regularly dreaming about tomorrow. All three are
ONELIFE Not only a website but a group committed to helping young people do the best they can with the one life they have. Therefore, this is my website recommendation for April. Their vision is to: "Connect and equip young people and students to be exceptional leaders in every sphere of society" They aim to do this through 6 streams: Conferences (for 14-18 year-olds) School of Leadership (17-22 year-olds)
2007 was a hard year for me. I started it living in India, suddenly losing my mum in January, then in the middle of the year my visa to continue working in India was denied. So I found myself back in Scotland in an unexpected transition, which was a lot to cope with. I didn’t want to live by myself, so I got two cats (as they could be
My book recommendation for April is Bruce Wilkinson’s book - The Dream Giver. I read it when it first came out in 2003 (which I know some of you weren’t born yet, sigh). It was such a great book for me at that time because I was nervously praying about moving to India. Over the years I’ve leant this book to several friends and fellow disciples as a book
I’m writing this post from Medias, Romania while staffing for the third time Romania’s B2b. Before moving to Switzerland last year, I was serving with YWAM in Romania. It’s great to be back with friends who are a little like family - to continue to work together helping equip young leaders who are mostly from Romania. There are 23 students from all over Romania, many of whom are working
My website recommendation for March is for Worship Central They are : "a collective of pastors, musicians, leaders & songwriters who train & equip the Church in worship." You'll find them in Birmingham (England) but are followed around the world. They started back in 2006 by gathering worshippers who wanted to go deeper with God and impact their churches. in 2011 they started a training course to help develop
Cinderella And Her Sisters by Tom Bloomer is my book recommendation for March. Tom is a man who contemplates deeply with God bringing golden wisdom to whatever he's taken the time to ponder on. This book shares several biblical stories to help us explore our true identity in God as well as the authority and inheritance we have as sons and daughters of our heavenly Father. All of us,
My 'book' recommendation for February is Finding Father by A. J. Jones. A.J. has an amazing testimony of surviving a difficult childhood to then discovering God, restoring her relationship with her earthly father and so much more. Her depth of revelation and anointing to help others discover a deep relationship with our Heavenly Father is amazing. So if you struggle with the concept of having a good heavenly Father
The Bible Project Tim and Jon's vision behind the Bible Project is: To help people see the Bible as one unified story that leads to Jesus. They are brilliant at crafting little animated videos to bring to life every book of the bible, key themes and words which help us understand God's word to us like never before. Over the years they have worked with others to translate many
Emanate Emanate is a church in Franklin Tn's Young adult ministry. Alyn and AJ Jones lead this amazing group and have fantastic teaching we all need to listen to on a wide range of subjects. They also have (had) a podcast called "Keeping up with the Jones" which is fantastic in so many ways. Seriously, if you have time listen to them all and pray they have time to
