Ministry Update Letter : July 2017 – December 2017
Dear praying friends and supporters of ‘Take Heed’,
In my last ministry letter (January 2017 – June 2017) I wrote the following
I am likewise going to be busy with speaking/preaching engagement between now and the end of the year (DV). Again, locally, I am scheduled to speak/preach 18 times (many of them Reformation-anniversary-related). Then late July-early August I shall be in the Isle of Man to preach 4 times and also give my 2-part Reformation talk. Then also over the first two weeks of September I shall be in Canada where to date I am scheduled to speak/preach on 7 occasions. Your prayers for all these plans will be greatly appreciated.
I am truly grateful to all those who prayed and herewith
is a short report on how all those plans went.

Dear praying friends and supporters of ‘Take Heed’
It is regrettable to have to say it, but much of 2017 has so far has been dominated by a never ending (it seems) succession of Islamic atrocities. As usual, we have press and political reactions that express horror, but continue to insist that these events are not a true reflection of the religion of Islam. In the wake of the Manchester bombing, the Religious Affairs correspondent of the Belfast Telegraph, Alf McCreary used his Saturday column to give his reaction to that dreadful event. I immediately posted my own response on Facebook (now also on the web site) to what he wrote and I want to share extracts from that post with you now –
Alf McCreary in his column in today’s Belfast Telegraph has devoted it to his reflections on the Manchester murders on Monday past when a Jihadist carried out a suicide bombing that claimed many lives and wounded scores of others… these are the (ludicrous) comments by Alf McCreary that I want to highlight.
Annual Review Letter December 2016
Ministry Update Letter : July 2016 – December 2016
Dear praying friends and supporters of ‘Take Heed’,
in recent years when issuing my Annual Review Letter, I have normally deferred quoting from encouraging feedback until quite late in the letter. However, this year I want to begin by quoting extracts from a very encouraging email I received because it will also serve as a lead into quoting in full a short article that I penned on what has become I believe a very ‘hot topic’ for Christians to consider. First the email extracts –
