Points for pondering and prayer

I send out a bi-monthly newsletter which has more details of my ministry and particular prayer points. If you would like to receive it, please send me an email and I would love to add you to my list!

Otherwise, here are a few points to think about and/or pray for me:

1. I am currently writing a ministry proposal of what my work with OM LUKE will specifically involve. Please pray for wisdom as I write and discernment about what to include and what not to include.
2. Please pray for my back - I fractured some vertebrae a little over a year ago, and whilst it is much better, I still occasionally have very painful days. Pray for rest and healing.
3. "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" - Matthew 16:26. Please pray that I can share with my non-Christians friends how much God wants to be part of their lives.

Thankyou very much for your thoughts and prayers!

Spring has arrived in St James' Park, near Buckingham Palace. My friend Lisa took this photo of me on the same day as lunch at the Sherlock Holmes Hotel.

My friend Lisa and I enjoying the sun in London, at the Sherlock Holmes Hotel with a glass of wine and excellent fish and chips. Highly recommended if you're ever in the Charing Cross area.

As part of an assignment, I had to take a photo of a four legged creature. There were plenty of canine friends around, but I thought these two were much cuter!

Welcome!

I am a missionary working with Operation Mobilisation (OM) as a trainer at LUKE, OM's UK training centre. This blog is for updates on what I am doing, my thoughts and prayer points. Enjoy!


WHAT I DO:
· train evangelists and evangelism students in the use of creative and performing arts as a means for evangelism.
· work with the students and use my skills and experience to create productions of high standard, appealing to the secular theatre-going community, that are gospel-focused and evangelistic.
· explore ways of creatively presenting the gospel to our media-centric world.

WHY?
· In modern society, many people do not attend church. Most have never read the Bible and few know or understand the message of the gospel. Sharing Christ in this culture means more than inviting people to church. Although few people would choose to go to church, many are willing to attend a concert or theatre production. Using the performing arts, we are able to reach people who would never attend a church service.
· God has given me the unique opportunity of being highly trained and experienced in an elite industry. I want to
o take that knowledge from my work in the secular industry and apply it to a church context, encouraging Christians to celebrate their God-given creativity - using their gifts to glorify God and communicate the life-changing message of the gospel.
o use creative arts to reach people for Christ in a way that is relevant and easy to understand; meet people on their level.
I am excited about the opportunity of working with God to meet such a specific need, sharing my unique skills and experience with evangelists who can then reach out to people who might never go to church.

A BIT ABOUT ME...
I am a professional stage and production manager, known for my ability to remain calm under pressure and love of multi-tasking. After graduating from the Venue Operations course at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, I have enjoyed switching between roles such as Production Manager, Stage Manager and Orchestra Manager, broadening my knowledge and skills across a number of disciplines including music concerts, theatre, film and musical theatre.
Career highlights include touring Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Bell Shakespeare Company, the award-winning season of Angry Eddie for the 2004 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and supervising the background music at Russell Crowe’s wedding.
