Just a quick note to say I'm at the Youth Specialties National Youth Workers Convention in Nashville this week. I'm here with a group of youth workers and leaders from Ireland. It's been a very good week, but a long one, and I'm ready to get to Ohio to be with family. There are 7,500 youth workers in attendance - the largest YS conference ever. What I most love about these events is the networking that can happen, the team camaraderie and the freebies! I have had some key meetings with others both within the conference and without that have been very encouraging and humbling. I have collected four medium bags worth of freebies and I bought loads of resources for the youth department. These days are good. I have been asking God to surprise me and He has! I have also been notified that there's a bidding war on our house in Northern Ireland at the moment (it went up for sale a few days before we left) and the latest bid is for 96,000 GBP! We have already signed the contract for our new home in Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary and hope to move in late January or February. God's good. Off to a few more gigs before heading to bed. Blessings on you all . . wherever you are.
For the last two years I have had the privilege of getting to know a man called Michael Guido. 'Guido' as he's better known, has been a friend to those in the Arts & Entertainment industry for over 20+ years. He's a pastor of sorts and a spiritual companion. Guido is a pioneer in the 'road pastor' tradition - supporting groups like Jars of Clay , dc Talk , POD , Michael W. Smith , Switchfoot and others. He, his wife Celeste and indeed his entire family have given so much for the calling on their lives to support, challenge and encourage artists and their families in their relationship with Christ. Please pray for the Guidos if you're the praying type. Pray for protection, financial support, joy and an overriding sense of God's clear calling on their ministry - PR Ministries . The PR stands for 'Persuing Relationships'. Every time we speak, Guido challenges me with his intense love for God and his knowledge of the Scriptures. H
