When I saw the name Miracle Street in a dream in 1998 I thought it would be a banner that hung above our heads as we preached on the streets. What I didn’t know was that God was forming something in my heart that would mean the creation of a team and the acquisition of some fantastic resources. At the time we had a van load of slightly suspect magic tricks, a couple of load voices and some unusual costumes!

Over these last eleven years I have done my best to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and take the Gospel way beyond the walls of the church. We have had many successes and some failures but we've been able to present this wonderful Good News to the people and have given them the invitation from Heaven to become followers of Jesus. It has been an incredible privilege.

Along the way, we have gathered many supporters and partners like you who have stood with us in prayer, finance and encouragement and chosen to walk the journey with us. As I look back on another summer I wonder where it will take us in the next year or so. We now have a growing work into several nations in Mainland Europe as well as our many connections into towns in the UK. In a week or so I go to France for three days to lay down plans for events in Normandy in the early part of the summer next year. Two weeks after that I go to Madrid in Spain to hold a series of evangelistic meetings in the centre of the city. A few days before I go to Spain the Mainstage will be facilitating the Light Party at Jono's church, an event that reaches around 3,000 people every October 31st. Please pray for these wonderful opportunities to present the Gospel.

As many of you are aware we are facing some real financial challenges just now because of our growing overheads and a couple of aborted events. Thank you so much to those who have given, often anonymously, over the summer, it is greatly appreciated. We are still several thousand pounds short of our target for this month but I remain confident in God and in his amazing supply line!
