Tonight I had an unusual pleasure to be at Gillingham YFC’s AGM. Unusual as AGM’s are usually very yawny, but tonights went quickly and it was exciting to hear plans for the future and of the vision that God has placed on Malcolm’s heart and the heart of the rest of the team.

I was there to speak and people were kind about my few words. While thinking about what to see, memory after memory flooded back – how do you choose something from over 12 years. Well I did and it seemed OK.

Preparing and praying reminded me what a distance we have travelled over the last decade. It reminded me of all the excitements and all the hassles. Looking back – I would not change any of it, and the hassles were clearly the most useful as it was with them that I learned more and rested and relied more on God.

Looking at where GYFC is now is amazing. Mal is listening and watching what God is doing and some really exciting stuff is happening and I just feel there will be more on the horizon.

It was good to catch up with people like Holy Phil and I’m really looking forward to seeing Mal’s vision become a reality.
