The Traveller’s Rest- Jesus Should be the Question not the Answer.
Faith- a journey of discovery When I think back over my own personal journey of discovery and belief in Jesus one thing I appreciate more than anything is that I was not forced into deciding about anything. I escaped the pressure of signing on because everyone thought I already was a Christian. The day I [...]
Sunday morning
A resurrection… that changed the world. That brought all those of faith to encounter and live within a new creation. Wow!!! What does a new creation look like. Recently I read Len Hjarmarson who quoted that The kingdom of God is creation healed. Seems that gives us an agenda for prayer, discussion, hands dirty etc., [...]
The Traveller’s Rest- Inspector Gadget.
The Machines Are Taking Over Anyone remember the first mobile phones? They were nearly as big as a red phone box. What about pictures of the first computer systems? Taking up massive space in a room, infact taking over the whole room. You had to go to arcades to play on computer games like Frogger [...]
The Traveller’s Rest- Left Behind.
Carry on Camping So another voice wrongly predicts Christ’s return. Harold Camping has in appearance brought Christianity into disrepute again. More bad press because a religious excentric has blurted on about his interpretation of the end times. He got it wrong once before and now he gets it wrong again. But looking at it again [...]
Last few days…
So we are home and without any interruptions with the ash cloud!! A few more notes about Sweden. Wherever we travelled we heard about people coming to faith. Awesome. Many of those were people coming to faith outside the church structures, so one of the challenges will be allowing this to happen in a way [...]
Luleå
OK we are now seriously far south – at the same latitude as that of northern Iceland. Yesterday we drove through the Arctic Circle (coming south) with a sign saying 4000 kilometres to Madrid. In 2007 a trip that was very momentous for me, and made an impact across Sweden, this area was where I [...]
The Traveller’s Rest-Event Junkie…
The Specials, The Madness When I survey my life as a Christian one thing that I observe from my experience is how easy it is to become a special events and conference junkie. Both as a punter and as a ‘pastor’ the big event was something to encourage the spirit and the being to keep [...]
France, YWAM
After Valencia we were with YWAM in Le Gault (east of Paris) for four days of teaching on spiritual mapping. I really enjoy investing into these situations… lights come on, people are open and are willing for action. It is also so good for me to listen. In any ongoing situation it is easy to [...]
Valencia
Prior to coming to Sweden we were in France, prior to that we took 2 days in Valencia. To walk, see, pray. Valencia is Spain’s third biggest city, a huge amount of traffic goes through its port. A city with its own identity perhaps marked by its insistence that the local language is not Catalan but Valencian. We thoroughly enjoyed walking the streets, found much of the city that is outside the old centre to be open, both in style and spiritually.
The Traveller’s Rest- Master or Servant ?
Intro Have been pondering alot about leadership this week. How the whole being a leader thing was sold to me, how I was programmed to be a leader and how I was mentored by others who were leaders. Then I thought about Jesus… nuff said. I have written this prose/poem in response to these ponderings. [...]

The Traveller’s Rest- Our House In The Middle of the Street
A House of Prayer for all Nations You would think that because we are so desperate for a blueprint that Jesus would have given more of a description concerning what His house/dwelling/church/ekklesia would look like. That He would have given us an Ikea type plan on how to put it all together and labelled all [...]
