In the event of an election in the coming months, Christians will be faced with greater than usual challenges in how to engage.…

Director of Wales update: March 2019
We are known across the earth as being a nation who have encountered God through incredible revivals, where literally thousands of people have come to know and love the Lord. Wonderful though this is, my prayer is that this would not just be a part of our history as a nation, but that in 2019 and…
Has God changed Kanye West's tune?
Then, at the end of September, I heard that Kanye would now only produce gospel music instead of the secular music he became famous for. Again, my initial reaction was "yeah, right – a man who mocked Christ and made music about all sorts of profane things, could be saved and would only produce…

What do you do when the hero of the story is also a villain?
Were he anyone else, Ford would have received praise, perhaps seen his face on the cover of the newspapers – maybe he would even have received a medal, and that would have been it. But it’s a little more difficult to know how to react to someone who confessed to murdering a 21-year-old woman with…

Agents of lasting change
On the eastern coast of Mozambique, it was the city worst hit by ferocious winds that went on to rip through Malawi and Zimbabwe last March. The damage was evident in every street, in every community. I met countless people who had lost relatives and had their homes destroyed. Their stories, each…
