Unfinished business

This passage was shared with me by a dear prayer partner who has been lifting England up to our heavenly father.  

“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”


‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:1-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

She shared this revelation with me. She noticed the words: "I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God."  How greatly God has used the nation of Great Britain and the Church there in the past to reach the entire world with the Gospel!  The impact has been huge!  But their time is not over yet; God's work and purposes for the British people are not done.  Their deeds are "unfinished."  That is why is is so vital for this nation's church to be awakened and brought to life again!

She is so right, God is not done with England. He is not done with the people. God will move mightily in and through England like he has done before. Look at what is written about the church in Sardis right before that. It says  "I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die"

England has a reputation that is blinding to the world. People focus on the history and the spiritual state it once had.  But that is like looking at a chard painting and calling it beautiful because of what it once was.  Instead of taking the time to pick away at the burnt edges until you see color once again.  England is almost dead, there is a generational gap in the church that is staggering, but because of its false reputation no one sees the need to help it.  We are called to strengthen what remains.  To bring life to a generation that has been left out.

Fundraising has started.

Hi everyone!

     Sorry it has been a month.... wow we have been busy. Since coming back from orientation we have been able to meet with our fundraising coach on a weekly basis. We have been learning so much from her and are excited to say that we have started the fundraising process.

     As summer has arrived we are looking forward to hopefully heading out to meet with family and friends who are not in our area.  It is exciting to get to share our heart and passion and make partners for the ministry.  We are so thankful that God has provided us with amazing families and friends, along with coaches to keep us encouraged as we start this next phase of the journey.  Praise the Lord we are 3% funded!!

    We have finalized our brochure and are looking into getting it printed, this will have a summary of our ministry along with simple statistics and facts about England. Some of these fats are that while in England 49% of all people claim no religious affiliation and less than 2% claim to be born again Christians. Church attendance in England is the lowest in all of Europe at only 6%.
   Through our research we have learned that people in England struggle with anxiety, depression, and self harm at higher rates than most of Europe.  We also learned that in England the highest cause of death in men between the ages of 25 and 45 is suicide.

    Hearing these facts can be saddening and disheartening, but we serve a God of love and hope. He is powerful enough to effect the hearts of these people and radically change their lives and environments.
