Star Spangled Visit

Exciting news: I will be in the States from 2 July - 16 July! And depending on when you see me, I will be accompanied by several guest stars!

For the first few days, Vanessa, Mark and Tilly will join me in Savannah. They are visiting from York and are excited to experience America. You may remember Vanessa from my visit a bit over 2 years ago - we were praying for her recovery from radiotherapy to freeze her brain tumour. Well, not only is she recovered, but she was well enough to give birth to Tilly, our miracle baby, who is 10 months old!

On the weekend, Micah, who was a missionary in London with me, will be visiting Savannah!

And my boyfriend Sam will be joining me on the second week and for my trip to South Carolina!

I am excited to visit many of you at Calvary and at Martha Franks (and maybe some Second Baptist friends as well?) during my time! I can’t wait to share with you about God’s faithfulness to sell the Barnabas Centre quickly and our plans for moving forward. 

Something that I have hinted at is that I have been recovering from a spiritual abuse situation that happened in London. While I do not want to post about that on the internet, I am happy to talk about it in person if you do have questions. I am well supported in York and have learned how to be a very different type of YWAM leader than what was modelled to me in London! I am grateful for the support from my elders in YWAM and my church mentor and family in York. And I am so thankful to be able to study theology so that I can learn truth and uproot harmful things that I was taught for a decade!

That being said, the amount that I need to pay for my theology school had raised this year. While I am photographing weddings as I have the opportunity, I am also still working in missions full time, so there is a large gap between what I have saved and what I still need to be able to pay for next year. If you would like to support me as I complete my graduate diploma in theology, I would be so grateful!

And if you would like to have a meal or a coffee whilst I am in the States, please let me know!
