Praying for a World in Crisis: Awakening Faith & Hope
Why is the world in crisis? Do we have a role in ending it? What unseen powers are at work, and does the Bible have anything to say about this? Is there hope? What is the ‘day of the Lord’, and why does it matter?
These are some of the questions addressed for engaging in international prayer for a world in crisis.
This book is a wake-up call for the times we are living in. We examine the inter-relationship between geopolitics, cosmic powers and the Great Commission with regard to why the world is in crisis and on the verge of a possible third world war, and how we as believers and as the church can engage effectively in prayer and mission in such challenging but rewarding days, and bring this age to an end.

Foundations for the Foundation is a powerful and timely book written to help everyday followers of Jesus understand God's heart for unity between Jewish and Gentile believers.
Rooted in Jesus’ prayer for oneness in John 17, this short but deep book highlights vital biblical truths that have often been lost or misunderstood throughout Church history.
The book explains how Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) came first to the Jewish people and how the early Church was birthed by Jewish believers. Over time, however, the Church became mostly Gentile and distanced itself from its Jewish roots. This separation has led to division and even centuries of misunderstanding and mistreatment of the Jewish people by Christians.
Now, as more Jewish people are coming to faith in Jesus than ever before, God is inviting His Church to heal this historic rift.
This restoration is not about going back to the Old Testament law but reconnecting with the full story of the Gospel—one that includes both Israel and the Nations.
The authors describe this as forming “One New Family” or “One New Man” (Ephesians 2), where Jews and Gentiles stand side by side, united in faith, purpose, and love.
Each chapter, written by respected Christian and Messianic leaders, explores different aspects of this reconnection - from understanding God’s covenant with Israel, to embracing our shared calling in the Great Commission, to learning how united prayer plays a vital role in God’s end-time purposes.
The book also emphasizes the need for love, humility, and repentance, especially from Gentile believers, to rebuild trust and partnership with Jewish believers.
Written in a clear, humble, and Spirit-led tone, Foundations for the Foundation isn’t about theology alone - it’s a call to action. It invites believers to return to God’s heart, align with His purposes, and take their place in a global move of reconciliation and revival.
Whether you are new to faith or a long-time believer, this book will open your eyes to the “Israel piece” in God’s redemptive plan and help you walk in greater love, unity, and spiritual power as the Body of Christ prepares for the return of the King.
The book is available as a print pdf / e-pub format for FREE - HERE
It will be available as a paperback book in the fall
In a quiet corner of Sequim, Washington State, a church-run Ramen shop is offering more than food—it’s serving love, dignity, and the presence of Jesus. Designed as a 'pay-what-you-can' eatery, the space hums with peace and welcome. Visitors from all walks of life - students, elderly neighbours, the homeless - gather to enjoy nourishing meals in an atmosphere of grace. Each guest chooses their own broth, toppings, grains and greens, reclaiming choice where it’s often lost. Behind the counter, a pastor-chef and volunteers serve up bowls of care and compassion, sustained by generous patrons who 'pay it forward’. It’s an economy of grace, where no one is turned away, and everyone is treated with honour. The building itself feels soaked in prayer, a sanctuary where the love of Jesus is tangible. The Ramen Shop isn’t just feeding stomachs; it’s restoring souls - offering sanctuary, table fellowship, and the quiet declaration: you belong.
In their new documentary Show Me Your Glory, Eric and Kameron Swithin explore whether God still performs miracles today. Their journey began with Eric’s questions about the absence of biblical-style healings in church life. His curiosity grew into personal experience as he witnessed and participated in prayers that brought visible healing and change. The film captures this tension: why some prayers are answered with power while others appear to go unanswered. While filming, they saw both divine healing and God’s provision through medical means. One colleague had an aggressive brain tumour successfully removed during production. Another moment of awe came during an outdoor shoot when a storm visibly parted on the weather radar as they prayed, passing around their set like the Red Sea. The film shares eight real-life testimonies, alongside a book detailing sixteen miraculous stories. Among them is Sarah, once addicted and near death, now fully restored. Kameron reflects, 'God showed me that with Him all things are possible’. Their story is a powerful reminder that the God of miracles is still at work today.
The Government faces a £41.2 billion shortfall that could force Rachel Reeves to raise taxes this autumn to meet her own borrowing rules, according to the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR). Reeves has pledged that day-to-day spending will be covered by tax revenue and that national debt must fall as a share of income within five years. NIESR recommends moderate tax rises, including reforming council tax and expanding the scope of VAT, to reassure investors. Labour has previously ruled out tax hikes on 'working people’, but Reeves now faces a difficult balance between honouring manifesto promises, controlling debt, and funding public services. NIESR also urged the Government to focus on growth, productivity, and welfare reform. The poorest 10% remain worse off than before Covid. With sluggish growth projected, the autumn Budget is expected to be the most challenging of this Parliament. Breaking news: the Bank of England has cut its interest rate to the lowest for four years, which will benefit those paying mortgages. See
Home secretary Yvette Cooper has confirmed there is 'no specified number' of migrants set to be returned under the UK-France 'one in, one out' agreement, now in effect. The scheme enables the UK to return illegal Channel-crossers to France while accepting an equal number of vetted asylum seekers with ties to Britain. Though early estimates suggest around 50 returns per week, this is modest compared to the 800 weekly arrivals this year. Critics argue that the plan addresses only a small portion of illegal arrivals and lacks true deterrence. The treaty was agreed between Prime Minister Starmer and President Macron following months of negotiations. The Home Office has pledged £100 million to support enforcement, fund 300 new National Crime Agency officers, and bolster anti-smuggling technology. Migrants returned to France cannot reapply via the legal route. The treaty remains active until 2026, with ongoing reviews planned. See
