I have been moved by the stories I have heard here and I’m excited by everything that’s going on. I prayed before I came here that I would meet people and be able to introduce them to my ministry. God has really put the right people across my path and I can’t wait to get back to the UK and report on all their good work and keep up the connection with the people I have met here.
