Ministry across Europe, Autumn 2022

Chat Linguæ Christi November 10, 2022

Since the last series of blogposts, I’ve been doing a good bit of travel. Travelling and connecting with current and potential ministry partners in Europe have always been a bit part of my job in my role with Linguæ Christi—the networking and mobilisation role. During the Pandemic, much of that kind of travel simply was not possible. Consequently, now that things are opening up again, I’m trying to make up for lost time with a bit of a “vengeance,” as they say. There are three areas of travel to note for you.

Ministry in Wales, Autumn 2022

Chat Linguæ Christi November 10, 2022

I had a couple of very good and instructive opportunities during the month of September. First, we had a site team from Dawson Baptist Church in Alabama to visit with us.

I can greet you most heartily from my home in Talysarn, North Wales, where I have been in a precautionary 14-day self-isolating quarantine, after having return from the travels I mentioned last month. This was required by new UK government requirements for people, who had been in a few specific countries in the 14 days prior to entry into the UK. As it happened, I was in two such countries before my return, which is the reason for my quarantine.

Director’s Update — August 2020

Chat John Robinson August 15, 2020

Ordinarily, I would be extending my greetings to you from Wales. However, as it happens I am writing this from London on my way for some travel on the Continent. Consequently—Greetings from London! For most of us living in Europe, August is often considered “holiday” month, when people take their annual holidays (“vacation” for those in the USA) or breaks. Our August here so far has seen record-breaking heatwaves and dramatic thunderstorms.
