LATEST HOT NEWS FROM VINCE AND DENISE

February 2010

The news, for anyone who hasn’t heard it, is that Vince and Denise are on the move (again!). After what will be 3 years living in and based out of Adelaide, we will be moving back to Queensland, to the city of Ipswich, where we planted our first church back in January 1980. It will have taken us 24 years to get back there after leaving for France in 1986. The leadership of our “old” church, now called “Catalyst Church”, approached us a few months ago about returning and basing our evangelistic ministry from there. After prayer, it just seemed so right. So our house is on the market and we are planning to move towards the end of May.

What can we say of our time in Adelaide? It’s been important for a number of reasons: we’ve been able to resettle in an Australian lifestyle after 21 years in France; we’ve discovered what 21^st century Aussies and contemporary Aussie churches are like; we’ve also been able to set up our ministry which will serve as a platform for the years ahead and, of course, we’ve met many wonderful people and established some lasting friendships.

Our trips to Europe will continue as they have over the past 3 years. In fact, the next one begins on March 8^th and will last 10 weeks. Thank God for Skype – when I’m away Denise and I keep up a regular contact by video phoning over the net. And, yes, just like it is for military personnel returning from a tour of duty, the homecomings are sweet!

Here is the itinerary that has been planned for this trip. In most of the places, I will be ministering in churches providing both training in effective evangelism and conducting evangelistic events.

9^th-11^th March - Lille in the north of France

12^th-14^th March - Montauban in the south west
