It's half term here so all of the clubs have stopped, and I am looking forward to heading back up north for a couple of days at the end of this week - please pray that I will come back rested and ready for the next half term!
Thank you so much for your prayers about the meeting about the lunch club for the boys at William Ellis School. It went really well, we hope to launch the club around Easter time - please keep praying for us as we finalise plans and preparations, that the boys would come.
Penny and I did a presentation at a local church this Sunday. It went really well, we praise God for the support they have given financially and in prayer, and it's been great to add a load more names to our prayer letter database! Please pray that this money would be used wisely and would further God's kingdom.
I would also really appreciate your prayers for me as I think through how to develop the work at Parliament Hill.
Thanks again for all your prayers!

CrossTeach Camden Update
Hello all,
I hope you're ok and keeping warm! London has ground to a halt because of all the snow, it's amazing!
At CrossTeach Camden we have much to thank God for...
The CU at Parliament Hill is going really well. On Mondays we are going through the chapters of a book called "If you could ask God one question..." which is helping us to think through the answers to some questions that we, or our friends, often have about God and the Bible. Questions like "If you're really there God, why don't you prove it?" and "If you're a God of love, why send anyone to hell?". And on Thursdays we are trying to think through what it practically looks like to be a Christian in school, what it means to love God with all our hearts, all our souls, all our minds, and with all our strength. I'm really thankful to God that these sessions seem to be working well, please pray that the girls are keen to put the things we are learning and thinking about into practice.
Also, praise God that over the last couple of weeks some new girls have started coming along. Please pray for them, that they would keep coming and that all the girls would be growing in their love for God and wanting to live for him more. Also, please continue to pray that I would be able to meet with the Deputy Head and Head of RE, I have tried to contact both of them but haven't heard anything back.
We are also really thankful for the three girls at Camden School for Girls who are still trying to move things forward in their school. They are meeting up to pray together, and they are organising an unofficial discussion group for them and their friends which is due to start this week (weather permitting!). Please pray for this meeting!
Tonight I am having a meeting with some people from a church to discuss the possibility of setting up a club in their church for the boys at William Ellis school. If we can get this up and running it will have the potential to be a great bridge to building up relationships with this school. Please pray that the meeting would go well, that we would make wise decisions, and that God would bless this club if it is his will for this church and this school. Also, I really thank God for this church and their willingness to make schools work at William Ellis a part of their ministry in this area.
One final prayer point (I could go on and on!)... please could you continue praying for the fundraising dinner. Penny and I walked around the church last night talking about layout and decorations etc, we are really thankful that we have this venue, but we are also feeling slightly daunted by that prospect of getting everything sorted, and would really value your prayers for this. We are fully booked up, which is great news, but we have only received a small percentage of the money for the ticket sales. Please could you pray that the money would come in quickly over the next few days/weeks.
Thanks so much for reading through this and for your support in prayer, I'm really thankful for all of you!
