This week has seen the release of the viral film “Kony 2012″. I’m not planning to get into the good and bad of the video, that is for everyone else to argue, and I have put my case across on facebook and do not see the need to do it yet again. For a fair [...]

School. The majority of us went to one or are attending one or in some cases, including myself, work in one.

Destiny is a big deal, particularly for young people. I had the chance to pray for and preach to the Abbey Church Youth group last night. Unfortunately the sound isn’t great, but if you would like to listen to it it either left click save as here: Destiny Or use this media player. Destiny To [...]
