COMMUNITY | CONNECTION | COLLABORATION

Dear Reader,

A lot can happen in a month — and sometimes, the smallest moments carry the greatest weight.

This past month has been full: meals shared, students encouraged, and quiet conversations that linger long after. From our dining table in South London to shared meals on campus, we’re seeing the Gospel move — gently, deeply, and faithfully.

COMMUNITY

The gospel moves through presence, not platforms.

This Father’s Day, we opened our home once again — and something sacred unfolded. Neighbours came. Families shared meals. Prayers rose gently between laughter and food. The Father’s heart was on full display.

Here in Tooting/Wandsworth, community doesn’t look like big stages. It looks like fathers being honoured, neighbours together, and ordinary homes becoming places of peace.

Thank you for standing with us. Because of your prayers and generosity, our home remains open — not just to people, but to the presence of God.

CONNECTION

God is at work in every season — and every student.

Our online community group continues to bring people together from across the UK — journeying through Scripture, praying for one another, and finding hope in community.

I also caught up recently with some students from Imperial College London, just as their academic term ended. I first connected with them earlier this year on campus, and I’ve loved hearing how they’re growing — not only in personal faith, but within the spiritual community they’ve found at Every Nation London. That’s a win worth celebrating.

This is what you’re investing in: students who are seen, discipled, and rooted for the long haul.

COLLABORATION

The Kingdom grows stronger when we work together.

This month, I had a meaningful conversation with Edmund, a staff worker from UCCF, a movement that serves university students across the UK. We’re praying about how to serve campuses like Roehampton University and St George’s University, where Vanessa also works as a nurse.

We’re exploring ways to support the Christian Union at St George’s, including a potential speaking invitation this coming term. These opportunities are deeply encouraging — not only because they open doors for ministry, but because they reflect trust and shared vision.

Thank you for being part of this. Your partnership helps build bridges where the gospel can walk freely.

FRIENDSHIP

Trust is built one conversation at a time.

Meet Ibrahim. He’s from Syria, and we’ve been slowly getting to know each other — usually over shawarma and Filipino snacks like dried mango and chocnut, which I brought as a small gift.

We talk about life, culture, family, and everything in between. The pace is unhurried. The friendship is real.

Would you pray for us? That trust would deepen and that this relationship would become a quiet witness to hope in a noisy world

What you’ve just read isn’t just a ministry update. It’s a glimpse of what happens when ordinary people live with open doors and open hearts.

From our dining table to local campuses, your giving sustains more than programs — it sustains people. Every moment shared, every student reached, every story unfolding in homes and hallways — you are part of this.

We continue to listen to God and follow His lead — and as friendships grow, disciples are made, and communities form, we can’t help but wonder: Could this become a church someday? Not something rushed or built by human ambition, but something Spirit-formed. If God opens the door, we’re ready to walk through it.

Thank you for believing in this work. Thank you for sowing into lives.

Let’s keep going — for neighbours, for the nations, and for the glory of the Father.

With deep gratitude and anticipation,
