2019 was a full year of fruitful ministry and memorable occasions, so I’ve chosen to summarise my top 12 Maximum Ministry Moments (in no specific order of priority or date):
- Teaching pastors in Rajahmundry, India on the Gateway Word and Spirit Bible College ( and being at the Graduation in January 2020).
- Being in Macedonia with a team from City Church Cardiff and listening to Stuart share powerful testimony of the Lord delivering him from a tragic family background and years of feeling worthless and unloved.
- A weekend visit with Gill to our friends Matt and Hannah Gregor on the island of Guernsey and seeing Matt thriving as he leads Vazon Elm church.
- Meeting up with my younger friend Enoch every couple of weeks to read through the book of Acts. We’ve now started Romans.
- Attending the Elim Ordination service- seeing Arlette, Alan, Phil, get ordained. I’d mentored them all over the previous 3 years or so.
- Speaking at Arfogi in Bala for the first time. A Welsh language event aimed at equipping student aged Welsh leaders for future ministry and calling.
- Finally seeing a brand new school bus at the Gateway School, generously provided by the Awakening Foundation.
- Praying with my younger friend Will in the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, and being overwhelmed by the enormity of the sacrifice of Jesus and the power of His resurrection.
- Attending the Message Wales awards dinner at the invite of my long-time mate Gary Smith and seeing the wide range of gospel work they do all over Wales.
- Worshipping in the City Church 90th anniversary celebration, giving thanks for all the Lord has done over 90 years, and rejoicing in the new season of leadership for the church under Dominic and Catherine De Souza.
- Staying in the mission centre at Saejungang International Church in Korea on my trip with Seung Lee, and seeing the church’s amazing commitment to world mission.
- Spending extended time with Emmanuel Jonah, director of Ignite Liberia, on his visit to Wales, and talking, praying and envisioning future ministry collaboration.
- Leading New Life Elim Church Barry Island’s Christmas Carol concert- with guest Korean vocalists from the classical music scene, and with over 80 attending ( not bad for a Sunday congregation of about 25).
- Visiting the West Bank territory and given the opportunity to speak in a compassionate and loving project to families who have children living with mental and/or physical disability.
- Planning a significant and strategic new direction for Waleswide, that should be birthed during 2020.
