MAKING MY MOVE...AGAIN.

So I am back in the USA (sitting in the Hampton Inn in Cool Springs near Nashville, to be precise) for the Fall (that's Autumn to us in the UK) leg of Third Day's Make Your Move tour.

We have a compere  for our concerts on this tour. His name is Bob Smiley and I worked with him years ago on a Newsboys tour. Turns out Bob can only make about half of our shows on this tour, so I'm standing in as compere for the other shows. That means I'm hosting a meet and greet Q and A session, I'm introducing the opening act Trevor Morgan , speaking about the tour sponsors Grand Canyon University ( a couple of the guys in Third Day have begun to study online to get the degree they never managed to complete years ago) and about World Vision's child sponsorship program, and introducing the band Tenth Avenue North. It's great fun!

WALESWIDE.

Over the last year or so I have begun to get involved in Waleswide.

Waleswide is a collaboration of evangelical churches and organisations for the planting and strengthening of churches across Wales.

Waleswide was established after a nationwide gathering of church leaders in 2005.  This church planting consultation acknowledged the need for an intentional and collaborative approach to church planting and strengthening in Wales.  As a result Waleswide was formed and commissioned.

Waleswide works with leaders to see churches established especially where there is no evangelical church presence, and where churches need to be strengthened in their effectiveness.

I am loving the opportunity to get involved in building the Kingdom of God, shaping the destiny of a nation, and working in collaboration with leaders from across the length and breadth of Wales.
