Dear Reader,
I hope this finds you well and full of hope.
As we step into this season, I want to share something close to my heart — a story and a vision that’s unfolding right here in Tooting
One Foot on Campus, One Foot in Community
This Father’s Day, we are hosting a special outreach at our home — inviting families from around our neighbourhood to gather, celebrate, and experience the Father Heart of God. It’s a simple yet powerful moment: neighbours coming together to honour fathers, share stories, and find healing and hope.
This outreach isn’t just about one day — it’s a sign of what’s to come. Because if we truly want to reach the nations, the world, the diaspora, we start with our neighbours. Our Filipino community here in London stands uniquely positioned — a vibrant gateway where different nations and cultures converge.
“Diaspora missions remind us that the mission field is right where we live and work, and that the scattered are God’s strategic agents to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth.”— Diaspora Missions: Engagement in Intercultural Ministry
This is our calling. This is our mission. This truth shapes our calling.
We’re reaching out to families in proximity, building relationships that reflect God’s love — showing that church isn’t a building, but a community that embraces, welcomes, and sends.
Partnering to Reach Campus and Community
A key part of this journey is building bridges to campuses like Roehampton University. I’m meeting soon with a staff worker from UCCF — a trusted university Christian movement — to explore partnership opportunities. With their support, campus ministry will gain a vital foothold, allowing us to connect with students from all backgrounds.
Your role in this story.
None of this happens without your faithful prayers and support. Please join me in asking God for:
- Prayers for wisdom, favor, and fruitful partnership with UCCF and the university community.
- Provision to continue this outreach and expand the work God has called us to here in Tooting.
Your partnership fuels this vision. You are part of a movement that is not just planting communities but cultivating a thriving mosaic of cultures and nations that reflect the heart of God’s kingdom.
Thank you for standing with us — your generosity, encouragement, and prayers mean more than words can express.
Together, let’s continue stepping forward — one foot on campus, one foot in community — as we reach neighbours and nations with the love of the Father.
With deep gratitude and anticipation,
Ian and Van Daguman
