Terry Virgo gathering (Jan 2024). In September 2023 I (Dan) first announced these things to the church, followed up with a document to all members called out 7 year vision. During a gathering of pastors from across England in January 2024, one pastor laid his hand on me saying “I see 7 layers of an…
William Carey Speaks (June 2023). During a two day prayer retreat I picked a book off the shelf at West Watch to read. It was the biography of William Carey and I felt drawn to his story. Unknown to me, he too was so stirred by Isaiah 54 that he preached the ‘deathless preach’, sparking…
Spanish walk – prepare the way (May 2023). In Spain, early in the morning, I (Dan) was out for a walk. The dusty track took me through orange trees and past little small holdings. About 1 hour into this walk, praying as I went, I came across a guy on his tractor ploughing out the…

A Call to Worship Through Giving “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” Matthew 13:45–46 This morning (5th October), as we gathered in worship, we were reminded that Jesus is our…
God’s Kingdom is so often the reverse of ours. ‘Sensible, wise’ choices in the natural are re-written in the supernatural. To see results we might think we should be on top form. Fresh, mind active and body well fed. Yet when Christ is put through 40 days of intense testing by Satan himself, Jesus fasts.…
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6b My favourite thing at the start of autumn is the week of fasting and prayer! There is a sense of a call to focus, and even detox from whatever I allowed myself to eat over the holiday…
