Read More Prayer Points (WE-110115)Steven Silvia. Never heard of him. Yet he puts together this beautiful evocative video mentioning the simplicity of a prayerful life that says who do I have, who am I without God? And answers, I am nothing.

Read More What I’ve Been Reading LatelyWhen I get round to telling the story of our journey to Milton Keynes you’ll begin to appreciate how good God is to us.
