We attended a conference at Salisbury Vineyard run by Steve and Wendy Backlund from Bill Johnson’s Church in Reading, California. They gave us a number of prophesies for Portsmouth Vineyard; that we would have a ministry of fun and laughter; we will be part of something big; people will be set free and delivered, and we will have influence in the heavenly spiritual realm. They said that Youth and children’s work will be significant and somewhere different for youth to hang out on a Friday and Saturday night, with a real shift in Portsmouth. Very exciting!

Jenny and I have completed our degrees in Christian Leadership at Moorlands Bible College; we had our Valedictory (sending out) with Gavin Calver who leads Youth for Christ as guest speaker for the day. Now we look forward to concentrating on Portsmouth Vineyard.

We have received our start up package from Vineyard UK for Portsmouth Vineyard, including everything we need to setup bank accounts and to register as a charity.
