- NEWS
- December 1, 2021
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Supermarket shelves are full of all things Christmassy, and Sainsbury’s is handing out its seasonal food order forms. After months of Covid separation friends and families are planning to celebrate a ‘proper’ Christmas, one that includes worshipping together again in ‘real’ church services. And the company, the celebrations and the worship can bring a special blessing for people living with dementia.

Reflections on COP26
- CREATION CARE, NEWS, SLIDER, Unlocking Expectations
- December 1, 2021
COP26 was a very different COP. What we expect to come out of any COP meeting is strong and good decisions that are binding that will lead to ensuring that the issue of Climate Change is addressed and all the nations in the world play their part in ensuring that. Perhaps we are a bit disappointed with COP26 because we did not get the strong commitments that we wanted to keep global temperature rise to below 1.5. However, in spite of all this, I have come back from Glasgow more hopeful. This was the 4th time that I was attending a COP meeting – the previous times being the COP in Lima, Paris and Bonn.

The Joseph Principle
- NEWS, SLIDER, Unlocking Expectations
- December 1, 2021
There’s a pattern throughout history: God uses seemingly adverse circumstances for His glory. We might almost call this the Joseph Principle – “you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20).

Sparks of Hope in the Lives of Roma Women in Ukraine
- NEWS, Unlocking Expectations
- September 1, 2021
Twenty women and girls huddle together into a small Roma church in a Hungarian speaking village in Western Ukraine. Little babies nestle in the arms of teenage mothers, while grandmothers look after older ones. For a moment you might think you have come to a jungle, since the noise can be quite disturbing. But little by little voices quieten and everyone finds their place.

Beyond Hope, Expectations
- NEWS, Unlocking Expectations
- September 1, 2021
In Nairobi, the first Covid 19 lockdown was in March 2020. Psychologically and emotionally, it felt to me like the announcement of a political state of emergency, except that this was a health-related emergency, unfamiliar and frightening, expecting to see armed soldiers walking on main roads stopping anyone who was foolish enough to venture outside. I looked forward to the afternoon three o’clock government update that gave critical information because I didn’t want to be unprepared for any eventuality, especially since I am also a caregiver of an elderly parent who wonders why we should keep away from others (social distancing) since we have no quarrel with them.

Have you ever noticed God speaking to you in different tones? Think about it. We use different tones of communication all the time, especially when teaching. When coaching sports I’m generally noisy and enthusiastic, even to just one individual. I just love celebrating their victories and calling them up to greater heights.

Extending Gospel Ministries and the Era of Social Distancing
- NEWS, Unlocking Expectations
- July 7, 2021
With the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic’s spread […] [occurring this year], it’s important we recognize the difficulty of the past […] [16 months]. There’s no other way to say it: It’s been hard. We’re more physically distant than we, as a people of God, ever have been in over a century. Close family and friends haven’t gathered together in months if not the entire [..] [time]. People have suffered financial instability, food insecurity and the loss of loved ones due to the virus. While the church’s mission and work continue despite social distancing restrictions, I know deeper relationships with people in the community have been difficult to maintain or initiate.

What should our expectations be?
- December 1, 2021
When talking with Christians about the state of the church in Europe I often detect the underlying expectation and longing that things should go back to what we call Christendom. A time where the institutionalised Christian faith set the parameters for all areas of life. A time when the power was in the hands of “the Christians”. But, was that time really a good time as we consider its fruits? Much was good but when I look at today’s world, at its reactions against those times, I see its downsides as well.
