I am blessed to share with you some exciting news! Recently, I was asked by Bishop John Fenwick, the Bishop of the Diocese of Northern England, to come to his diocese as a short-term missionary through SAMS (Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders). I will be continuing the work of Pass the Legacy Ministry as I share the light of Christ to grandparents. My home base will be in Preston. For two months (March, April, 2020), I will lead devotions at local senior homes, lead studies based on my book, Pass the Legacy: 7 Keys for Grandparents Making a Difference,minister one-on-one to grandparents and speak occasionally throughout the Diocese.
