4. The life of a missionary called Robert Morrison has gripped my heart.
5. I have revisited Simon Walker who taught such a helpful course at college. His reflections on ‘Undefended leaders’ should be embibed by all who aspire to oversight of the local church.
....’a leader is someone who takes responsibility for someone else’
‘Leading out of who you are’ p.17
6. Someone recommended a book to me called ‘Give up your small ambitions’ by Griffiths.
7. ‘Child of God you cost Christ too much for him to forget you’ C H Spurgeon
8. I told someone today, worrying about going on a difficult planting adventure, that the most invaluable experience of church I have ever had was in a church plant on an estate that never grew larger that 20 people.

9. I had a Holy Ghost experience in my local Tesco.
10. I said in a sermon on Romans 10 at the weekend that the saddest words an unbeliever could ever utter might be ‘No one told me.’
