We have had quite an extended period of travel this year and for the first time it has been as a family and not just me! This is indeed a welcome development : )
We spent much of the summer travelling, in fact we were only in our house for 8 days over the summer holidays. It has been both challenging, stretching and rewarding for us as a family. Sue is taking to this new adventure well and it seems the gypsy in me has transferred to all 3 of my kids! It has been amazing to see them blossom and grow in confidence as a result of our recent expeditions.
Next stop is America!
We leave Glasgow on September 29th and will return on November 19th, a total of 52 days.
The main purpose of the travel is with my work. I am one of 3 International Directors working with a missions organisation called Josiah Venture, JV for short. JV are an American organisation but do all of their work in Central and Eastern Europe. One of the projects they run is a schools project using music to connect with students and taking lectures in the schools talking to students about hugely important issues like Substance abuse, sex and relationships, depression amongst young people, eating disorders, human trafficking, self esteem....and so on. JV is a christian organisation and we are taking a message of hope with us into these schools across eastern europe.
I have been working with my own band, Superhero, for many years in this part of the world on similar projects and now I am helping to develop and grow this ministry with JV, it is called Exit Tour.
We spent the summer in Estonia and now we go to the USA to connect with partner organisations, churches, musicians, universities and colleges across the country where I have many opportunities to talk to people, students, about the work we are doing and give people the opportunity to get involved with us.
I will blog now every day until we return on Nov 19th. If you are interested in keeping track of us over the next 2 months and beyond please feel free to subscribe to this blog : )
