During our recent trip to Pakistan, we had many many people responding to God and committing their lives to Jesus. You can view the stats from our trip in ‘Mission by Numbers: Pakistan’ But it’s important to differentiate between salvations and responses. You can have lots of people responding, without many salvations. If people don’t…… Continue reading How we defined Salvations and Responses

Mission numbers: Pakistan
First off, I know it’s not all about the numbers. But I’ll counter that it’s just as bad not to record any numbers at all. We should have multiple ways of measuring impact, and one of them comes from numbers we can record. Hence, Mission numbers: Pakistan. During our recent trip to Pakistan, we (myself and Andy)…… Continue reading Mission numbers: Pakistan
Daytime Endeavours in Pakistan – Mission Trip – Part 3
During our daytime endeavours, we spent most of our time preparing (or recovering) from the evening before. On the other days, we spent time investing in our hosts, visiting Isacc TV, and praying for the people who live in the Brick Kilns. Pastoral development Out host pastor had previously spent two years studying for a…… Continue reading Daytime Endeavours in Pakistan – Mission Trip – Part 3
Evening Meetings in Pakistan – Mission Trip – Part 2
Missed the first part? Check it out here. In Pakistan, your speaking into a very different context and culture than in the UK. If you haven’t thought about it before, you very quickly pick this up in the evening meetings. We are generally very well-educated here in the UK. Even people who wouldn’t call themselves…… Continue reading Evening Meetings in Pakistan – Mission Trip – Part 2
Welcome to Pakistan – Mission Trip – Part 1
“You’re off on holiday? Finally!” A colleague said to me shortly before I left (apparently short breaks in the UK don’t count as holidays anymore). “Pakistan?! Why are you going there?” was a common response to my destination. I suppose it’s not too surprising, it’s not your usual holiday destination. Welcome to Pakistan. The fourth…… Continue reading Welcome to Pakistan – Mission Trip – Part 1
New York City Church Tour
The final stop was my New York City Church Tour. It’s been such a privilege to visit the extended family and learn from what the wider church is doing, just across the pond. In this post, I cover Redeemer and The Journey. Two very different churches but both having a great impact in the city,…… Continue reading New York City Church Tour
Atlanta Church Tour
Here is my roundup from my Atlanta Church Tour. I’ve visited many churches during my short time in the states (technically I am on 5 in just over a week, but one was for a wedding, so I am not going to count it). It’s also not often I get the opportunity to be a first…… Continue reading Atlanta Church Tour
Planning Without Planning – US Trip Part 1
A weekend anywhere is far too short, and when you’re travelling thousands of miles, it makes even less sense. So armed with a few days of next years holiday, I extended my wedding trip from a weekend to two weeks, with God’s reassurance he was going to sort everything out – which should be reassuring,…… Continue reading Planning Without Planning – US Trip Part 1
Tying the Knot
A story wouldn’t be complete without a happy ending. So it would be unfair for me not to complete the story that was one of my popular posts while in Uganda. In the city of Columbus, Ohio, I got to wear one of the most expensive suits I shall ever own rent (it was made…… Continue reading Tying the Knot
