October newsletter
Hi friends and family
I’m writing this from sunny South Africa! Apologies for being a few days late with this update but it was a fairly busy time before I left Marseille, but I am super happy to finally be on this side of the world. I hope to see a lot of you over the next few weeks, so please let me know if / when you’re available!
Every Nation Marseille is 10 years old!
In my last letter I mentioned that we were about to celebrate our 10 year anniversary as Every Nation Marseille. This was definitely a huge highlight this month - we had an amazing conference to mark this significant milestone for our church. The theme was Let Your Kingdom Come, with the main focus being on Ephesians 4:11 - 13: And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

Full house on Sunday morning! Time for a bigger venue…
We had the privilege of having guest speakers join us for this weekend who all represented one of these specific offices, or ministry roles - apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher - which was a major faith boost for our church and an amazing eye-opener for our people here in France to be exposed to this kind of ministry. It really was a very powerful time and, we believe, a catalyst for what God is doing in this next season: equipping us to be an apostolic, or sent people, who understand and take hold of our role in reaching the city of Marseille, and the nations in Europe with the gospel. We had Jim Critcher, a high-level prophet in our Every Nation movement, minister on the Friday night as well as Sunday morning. For some of our people, this was the first time they were exposed to this kind of prophetic ministry. Other guest speakers were Morgan Stephens, Chris and Kacee Pate, also from the USA, and our very own pastor, Matt Rasch representing the office of the evangelist.
I am currently editing these messages which will be available soon on our website: enmarseille.fr for those who are interested.
Who said conferences are boring? Saturday evening dinner and dance vibes!
Let’s meet up!
My focus for November while I am in South Africa will be meeting with partners and raising more ministry support. While I am so grateful for each person who is already a part of my partnership team, both financially and in prayer, I do need to raise quite a substantial amount in monthly support to enable me to continue full-time on the mission field.
If you would like to set up a meeting, or know of anyone else who has a heart for missions and Europe and could refer them to me so I can set up a meeting, please let me know. My phone number while in South Africa is below.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your prayers and your support. Europe really needs
full-time ministry workers - we have a lot of work to do and your support is making a massive difference!
