Lots of travelling
I’ve been reflecting recently how I’m in the middle of 12 months of travelling to some great cities. Here’s where I have or will have visited between January 07 and January 08:
- Orlando
- Los Angeles
- London
- Edinburgh
- Zurich
- Johannesburg
- Cape Town
I love travelling. And I love even more the number or relationships we are developing in most of these cities. We really are living in a period of history where it’s possible to have and sustain friendships accross multiple continents.

awesome, now if only you could pack me and my family in your suitcase and take me with you!

It’s definitely feeling like this travelling is going to be happening more rather than less for the forseeable. Just need to figure out how to finance it!
Lon…I’d love to travel with you guys for a while! I’d love to get over you way sometime actually. I have an invite to Montreal so maybe I need to plan a Canada trip?!

how about doing some cyber travelling together. we could identify a country and go visiting church websites to see what they’re up to.

by the way, this idea “sounded” better before I wrote it down.

come on down to Canada! We’d treat you well here!

I noticed that the heart of the world (Seattle) isn’t on your list :). It looks like I’ll have to try to get myself to LA in 08…

Good question, I’ve never looked…

i’ve just been checking out some pittsburgh websites after reading about some new expressions of church in michael frost’s ‘exiles’. i might start searching seattle.

We’re actually starting to research and identify 5 key strategic cities around the world where we want to foster some long-term partnerships with organisations, charities, churches who are working there with a view to having an impact through supporting them in prayer, finances, practically, and sending short-term teams. It seems a ridiculous step considering how small we are here in Sheffield, but it felt like God really laid it on my heart and the importance of being a globally minded local church right from the outset.
