Just finished TOURING around to over 40 SCHOOLS - reaching around 10,000 school children and staff! YET I still have church folk occasionally ask me 'When are you going to get a proper job?' Or 'Climb the ladder and become a vicar' - which is a vital ministry. But these comments can leave me feeling undervalued, I don't believe it's the bottom of the ladder ministry, the Bible says we need to reach the next generation which is what I'm trying to do! It's 35 YEARS this month that I went full-time into this vital ministry and what a journey I've been on with many highs and lows but I don't think I'll ever make the change and become a vicar! Here is a holiday club photo from 35 years ago and a holiday club picture from this year!!

I spent over £400 on a pair of glasses 3 weeks ago but my sight was still blurry. I had another eye test this morning. It's not my glasses it's my eyes! I have CATARACTS in both eyes. The left eye qualifies for surgery now on the NHS so the opticians will be sorting an appointment for me

The Respect Song - I've been asked for the video for my Respect song - an old song but still with an important message - I hadn't got a video so I just spent this miserable, damp day making a video and putting it on YouTube - please share!

I did a 'What Makes a True Champion' RE Day (Focused on the Apostle Paul's Teaching) in a Primary School (ready for the Olympics) the school has just written me the most encouraging email about the day "Hi John Thank you for such a wonderful day. The children really look forward to your visit each year and ask if the juggling man or Charlie is coming back. Your teaching really fitted in with our curriculum and teachers commented on how it fitted with their PSHE and History, as well as the RE. Thank you for the follow-up ideas. Your teaching style really suits the children’s learning too..."

I used to lead a handful of RE Days each month under the umbrella of BRF but during Covid, they dropped them so now I do a handful a year... but as you can see the children and staff still love them so please do get in touch if you want to invite me to lead one in your local Primary school - as a church you could gift it to the school.

Such fun!

Kids at Toast Club, Sevenoaks are apparently loving my new song called - YOU ARE YOU - U-R-U ... a comical song (we had loads o fun filming this one!)
The Chorus says;
'YOU ARE YOU! He's not you! She's not you! I'm not you! There has never, ever been another YOU!
You could travel into space, you could travel through time, you could travel around the world and you will never find - ANOTHER YOU!'
A fun song about valuing who you are! https://youtu.be/4CeawW2TGGs

You are wonderfully, and uniquely made!
This family song helps us to value ourselves, and respect one another!
Ideal for School Assemblies, Kid's Clubs, Messy Church, etc
Performed with Sue and Alistair Mitchell of ACM studio's
