‘So your contract with Stewardship is two years in London? Two years is a very short time for developing relationships in the UK.’
This was part of my opening conversation with my Vicar from St. Luke’s in Kentish Town, London, In March in February 2013.
It has taken Priscilla and me almost two years to fully absorb the full extent and meaning of these words. People have been very open to us here. But I come back to Jon’s words.
What is their meaning today, 30 October?
We have committed to stay in London; we need to live and love here.
A long story short.
We prayed and sought counsel. Three people who did not really know each other said this sentence exactly to Priscilla and myself:
‘Your work has just began here; we, you have just gotten started.’
To hear this exact phrase from 3 different people in one week we feel & reason it are not individuals speaking but The Lord.
So, NYC friends and family know
This was the hardest hardest decision we have ever made as a couple. Those who know us know I roll with and into big decisions; Priscilla processes everything. I processed this decision; she made a relatively quick decision
Learning point: we change; he leads; we grow
So…
Some new news
We have to move from Hampstead for a variety of reasons; it has been a beautiful time here but we need to move
Our new flat is 49 York Street # 2 in Westminster W1H 1PU. It is as Central London in a nice area-(our Tube stop is Bakers street!) and we are ten minutes by Tube from Paddington station and right by both Hyde and Regents parks.
Our landlords are a lovely lovely Christian couple. The husband is an Elder in a PCA church in the UK (one of the few here) we hopefully will be there 10 December.
Stewardship is renewing my contract and is giving me great flexibility in timing and working from home. (In the /our States home) My latest writings you can register and see

Priscilla spoke at St Luke’s on 20 October for the women’s meeting on vulnerability from chapters 1 & 2 of Nehemiah.
Sadly, Priscilla fell on 23 October and broke her wrist in 3 places. Hospital care here is great; lovely. She has 2 plates in her arm and is resting and recovery. Simply put: she tripped.
But as my friend Ben said: She got three broken bones in her wrist; Boy I would hate to see the other guys face
He looks bad.
We are well.
Love
