Hi Reader,
We pray this message finds you well.
Today, we want to personally share a major update in our journey here in London — one we believe God Himself is writing.
After months of prayer, counsel, and quiet obedience, we are stepping into a new season of mission: planting a new work in Tooting, one of the most vibrant, diverse, and strategic parts of London.
This is not something we chased or planned in our own strength — but when God calls, our answer is “yes.”
Because of your prayers, support, and encouragement, we have the strength and faith to follow where He leads.
Your partnership is not just support — it’s a lifeline.
Through you, we have been able to love, serve, and now boldly pioneer this new chapter of God’s story in the nations.
The video below was meant to be just a simple prayer walk.
My wife and I felt led to pray over Tooting — the place God has called us to start a new work. As we walked and prayed, we were prompted to document this moment — believing that 2 to 5 years from now, we would look back and see God's faithfulness unfolding from this small, obedient step.
🌱 This short video captures the very beginning of our family's "YES" to the Great Commission — a divine moment of prayer, surrender, and faith.
🙏 Would you prayerfully consider standing with us — through your prayers, encouragement, and financial partnership — as we plant hope and life in Southwest London?
🎥 Watch now. Pray with us.
Partner in the story God is writing through London to the nations.
Thank you again for believing in what God is doing through us. Thank you for being faithful to the call — not just ours, but yours as well.
The story is still unfolding — and by God’s grace, the best is yet to come.
With all our love and gratitude,
Ian and Van
P.S. As we pioneer this new work, if God leads you to continue standing with us — through encouragement, increased partnership, or sharing our story with others — we would be deeply grateful. Your faith, your prayers, and your generosity are helping build something that will outlast us all.
