The Best is Yet to Come

Hello to all of our friends and partners,

As I’m writing this, I’m thinking about how Christmas is just a matter of days away and in just a couple of weeks we will be in a new year. I am so grateful for what has been, by far our best year in every way. Our year started by us ministering for 3 months in Europe. When the Lord spoke to us to go, we had only enough ministry booked for about 5 weeks but the Lord had been clear about us going for 3 months. The Lord not only filled our calendar but supernaturally supplied all of our needs upon the way. We will be heading back again at the end of January for another 3 months and the Lord has opened so many doors for us.

When we got back the Lord spoke to us about going to a conference in the USA in which we had been invited to minister in worship. We usually go and do a lot of other meetings but none seemed to open up for this trip but we knew that God wanted us to do this conference. Whilst this trip cost us a lot of money, as soon as we got back, the Lord took us to a whole new level financially and we have been so blessed.

God had also been dealing with us for a while about doing a youth camp, which was not something that I wanted to do in myself as I haven’t been a youth pastor for 30 years but we knew it as God. We faced so many obstacles trying to find an affordable venue, that the advertising of the camp was only about 8 weeks in advance. We decided that, as the Lord had told us to do it, that even if it cost us personally having to cover any shortfall then we would still do it. We ended having about 85 young people come from all over the country and the budget was more than covered. The Lord moved so powerfully and 11 kids got saved and between 30 and 40 were filled with the Holy Ghost. We were also so blessed by the unity between the different churches and leaders involved and what an incredible impact all of these leaders had in ministering to the young people!

The Lord had also moved on our heart to do a new worship album and have it ready for our ministry in Europe. We had felt that this was to be of the highest level of excellence that we have ever attempted and God bought in absolutely world class musicians and mix engineer to produce this album with us AND we have the budget for this met before we even needed it.

I don’t share any of this to brag but encourage everyone in this time to put our trust fully in the Lord and start to lean into what the Lord is telling you what to do. All of these great things that happened to us this year came about, not because we are great in ourselves but we made a decision to put the Lord absolutely first in our lives and to expect that He will bring those things to pass that He has put in our hearts. We often spend time asking God to bless our plan but Gods plan brings so much more joy and fulfillment. When we started, we didn’t have enough money, resources or time to do much ministry at all but I still remember Cristie putting a list up on our fridge of the things that we were believing for and we have ticked all but two of those off our list! I know that God has big things in His heart for all of us, if we will only start to trust Him.

Jeremiah 29:11 ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.’

Start believing for big things as you have a big God

Cristie and I want to thank all of our friends and partners who have stood by us through this whole year. We could never reach all of the people that God has called us to reach without you. We appreciate you sowing into our vision and calling. If you feel to partner with us in ministering to people all over the world then please click the link below. From our family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas and may 2025 be your best year yet.

Love and blessings,

Peter & Cristie
