At the beginning of this year God began to speak to me about "IT'S TIME" and that 2008 would be a year of "INTENTIONAL INTIMACY " - and I am beginning to see the fire of His Presence being released in amazing measure in many lives but at the same time a contention that is really demanding of me to STAND

Some Prayer Pointers for the next while...

1. Manchester / Ivy Cottage : I count it high privilege to now be living in "this neck of the woods"...and I do feel it is "for such a time as this" - Hope 08 is very much a part of what God is doing in this beautiful city... my prayer is that many people would discover the kindness of Jesus.

2. Anthony and Zoe Delaney and family are moving up to Manchester and Anthony will be taking on the role of senior pastor here at Ivy. Please pray that this transition would be filled with lots of joy and peace for them as a family and they would feel more than welcome!!!!

3. Rest : I am home for a while and really do need to ensure that as much as I am enjoying "doing" various things in and around here I also need to take time to rest and hear Fathers heart for this next season

4. Benjamin and Harry are the sons of 2 dear families who are close friends...we need to see Gods miracle power released in both these dear little chaps bodies!!!

5. Me: My God shall supply ALL my needs... spirit, soul and body ..to be an encouragement to many and to be about my Fathers business.

6. Whatever else God shows you... PLEASE do let me know if He gives you anything specific for me or for those I am reaching

THANKS SO MUCH
