Hey everyone,
Jemma and I just got back from about 3 weeks in the States visiting some friends and family, it was a great time!!! We had some exciting news to share with everyone, JEMMA IS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!! We are going to be parents, how exciting!!! The baby is due sometime in early November. It was really great to see my family and some of the guys back in the States that I haven't seen in a couple years. I hadn't been back in the USA since November of 2009, a pretty long time for sure. I am starting my new job with Halifax bank on the 18th of this month, and we just bought a car, (a 2000 Fiat Punto ELX) so a lot has been happening. I have a short video up on youtube with some fun testimonies from some of my friends over here, this is the link if you want to go check it out.

It is a little video I put together just a week before we left, I am going to try and put together some more videos in the future and post them to youtube. So yeah, other than that we are still going to Exchange Church Belfast, and I am still being involved with stuff there, and working on getting the House of Prayer integrated into the church among other things. It is really exciting to be a part of what God is doing here. Their website is
www.exchangechurchbelfast.co.uk
If you want to check that out, also check them out on itunes you can get the weekly podcast for free, it is really good stuff. Just type in Exchange Church Belfast in the podcast search on itunes. Jo has had mixed reports from the doctors, so please keep praying and standing with us in believing for healing for her. Other than that, I am gonna try and put some pictures of the car and other fun stuff up soon, and hopefully some more about whats going on over here. Much love to everyone who has been reading and praying for us!!!
Blessings,

Update
Hey guys,
Not so bad this time huh? Only a month. Definite improvement!!! :P Basically, I just wanted to give a bit of an update to everyone/anyone who is interested. I am in the process of getting a job at Halifax, which is a bank over here in the U.K. The Lord has really blessed me with favor to get me this far, and at the minute I have a provisional start date of April 18th, there is just a few more technicalities to get through and it will all be official. The House of Prayer is still meeting together once a week and praying for the city and nation as well as other things the Lord lays on our hearts. We are exploring the possibility of linking the House of Prayer with the church Jemma and I are attending, Exchange Church Belfast, which is an exciting possibility. I am meeting with a couple of the younger guys from church once a week and working through different practicalities of Bible study and prayer, and just trying to help them in any way I can to continue to grow their relationship with the Lord, it is going really well and we are really enjoying it which is very exciting. I really love seeing young people catch a vision for what their relationship with the Lord can be like, and just getting passionate about His presence and seeing God's Kingdom come in their lives and their situations. There are a couple other projects that I am working on and will give more of an update on in the near future. Other than that, there is no new news about Jo, so please everyone keep praying and declaring the Lord's goodness and faithfulness over that situation. Also, Jemma and I are hoping to get a chance to go to America and visit friends and family in late March for 2 weeks, so please be praying for great ticket prices and the provision to be able to go!!!

3 Months..........wow
Hey everyone,
I can't actually believe it has been 3 months since I last blogged. Soooooooo sorry about that, I keep meaning to then stuff keeps happening and I forget. I hope you all had a great holiday season. Since my last blog, I got a temp job over the Christmas season working in a clothing retail company called River Island. I started in the last week of October and worked till the last week of December. It was a very interesting experience to be sure!!! It kept me quite busy and provided us with some much needed funds so that was great. I turned 25 on the 28th of October, so that was interesting...I am now half way through my 20's and half way around the world from where I started them out. :P We had a Thanksgiving day celebration at the House of Prayer since my friend Charles and I are both from America, it was really good fun. December was busy busy busy for us, I was working all the time and there was a lot of snow which made getting to work on public transportation a bit of a nightmare at times. It got really cold here, in fact it was record breaking cold, which isn't really the kind of cold you want to be part of usually. It got so cold that there was a week where it warmed up and so many people's pipes had burst that half of Belfast didn't have any water for about 3 or 4 days. We had a quiet Christmas just Jemma, myself, and my friend Charles at our little house here on Sefton Park. It was really nice though, we just shared presents, sat around chatting and eating food, and watching some Christmas movies, it was really good times. Jemma got to go and see her family on Boxing Day (26th of December) for a couple of days and do Christmas with them, so that was nice. There is no major good news to report about her sister yet, and the kids have been having a rough time as well, so please keep them all in your prayers as we continue to do the same. Our New Year's Eve we spent with our church Exchange, they had a big party for everyone and it turned out to be good fun. We had a meal, and played some games, and then had a big worship set to welcome in the New Year.
My temp. job ran out just before the new year and I have been looking for a new one for the past few weeks. Jemma put her CV (resume) in for a couple jobs on a Monday and literally the next day had a couple calls, the following day she did a group interview, the day after they called her back for a second interview, and Friday they told her she had the job and she started Monday!!! God is good!!! She is working in a call centre doing outbound sales calls at the moment, and she really enjoys it. I am continuing to look for a job while I work on House of Prayer stuff, and get more involved with out local church. If anyone is interested you can download the sermons from our church for free on i-tunes, just type in Exchange Church Belfast in the podcasts section. It is really good teaching, and great to be a part of a church that is bringing the good news of God's love and grace to Ireland. Today is Jemma's birthday and she is......well I probably shouldn't say how old she is you know how women are like about their age :P haha she is 27 today and as lovely as ever.
I am going to get my lovely wife Jemma involved in helping find a rhythm to doing these blogs since she is more administratively minded than I am, so that should help things move along a bit more. :P I am sorry to all of you who take time to read that it has taken me so long to post again, I really will make an effort to post more regularly. Thank you so much to everyone who reads, and is praying for us.

Happy October!!!
Flip, I can't believe it has been 2 months since I have last blogged!!! I really need to get better at blogging on a regular basis. A lot of things have been changing lately. I have been looking for a part time job a lot in the last several weeks, because of different situations it has become necessary for us to supplement our income. Jemma has still been going back and forth to England to help her sister out with her chemo sessions, though she is back here at the minute and probably will be back for at least 6 weeks!!! Jo is still going through chemo and there has not been any substantial good news to share yet, so please keep praying and just declaring the Lord's goodness over her and her family!!! House of Prayer has been ongoing and there might be some big changes coming up soon. I can't give any specifics yet, but hopefully I will be able to share some more exciting news again soon!!! I have been getting more involved with Exchange Church, which is my local fellowship. That has been great just getting to know more people there, and help out with the different things they are doing. We have been seeing more healing lately, which is very exciting!!! As I said, I am hoping to do another blog in the next week or so with some more details and some more testimonies, I just wanted to update real quick since I hadn't in about 2 months, again sorry about that!!! :P So I will update again real soon with more news, much love.

"...hope does not dissapoint"
Sooooo this blog is probably going to be more about where I am at with the Lord, and some things the Lord is taking me through than just about circumstances. Basically the circumstances look like this: My wife's sister still has cancer and Jemma is currently back over in England helping with her family while Jo is in hospital for round two of chemotherapy, we find out this week what the prognosis is so that is a big one, we are still doing House of Prayer on Thursday nights and working on following the vision that the Lord has put in our hearts for that, I have started working part time for my mom with her medical transcription business to make some money for the House of Prayer so that we can hopefully move forward with some things that require finance, and I am talking to our pastor about how I can best help out at our local church (Exchange Church Belfast).
One of the things that has really been on my heart lately, that I wanted to write about is the seemingly paradoxical nature of hope....without it we die inside "Hope deferred makes the heart sick..." Prov. 13:12a, but we also know that "...desire fulfilled is a tree of life." Prov. 13:12b so in other words when the thing we have been hoping for comes to pass, it is life to us; but here is the tricky part, apparently to get hope you must suffer!!! Let me explain, firstly in Romans 5 we see that, "...we exalt in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint..." (vs 3-5a) so apparently the road to hope leads through tribulation which by its very definition is "a cause of great trouble or suffering". Firstly, let me make it abundantly clear what I am NOT saying, I am not saying that God makes us suffer so that we can have hope, that is clearly not the Lord's character. What I AM saying is that everyone (Christian and pre-Christian) experiences tribulations aka troubles, in the words of Jesus "...In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." John 16:28b David wrote in the Psalms, "Remember the word and promise to your servant, in which You have caused me to hope." 119:49 (Amplified Version) We see from this reference and from other Biblical passages that hope is a gift from God. In the Bible the word hope literally means, "a confident expectation of impending good", hope is in essence a gift FROM God to allow belief IN God's good intentions for your life. Basically, what I am trying to say so far is, 1. That all people on earth will go through tribulations and trials, frustrations and disappointments, that is part of life on this planet. 2. That only God can take these trials and tribulations, frustrations and disappointments and in the midst of them give you hope, which according to the Bible "does not disappoint" and 3. This happens when we have become so fully convinced of God's character and of His intentions for us, through reading His word and encountering Him that our "faith" allows us to receive the gift of hope in the midst of seemingly contradictory circumstances.
Allow me to expound on this point. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Heb. 11:1. Faith is what assures us that the character of God is "in agreement" if you will, with what we are hoping for. It is our understanding of who God is, our "faith", correctly established in the revealed will and character of God that enables us to receive hope. "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Rom. 10:17 It is when we hear the words of Christ that faith is ignited in our hearts. When we hear of what Christ has done for us, and what He says about us it ignites faith in our hearts for we know from scripture that Christ is, "...the exact representation of His (the Father's) nature..." Heb. 1:3a So if Christ did it or said it, then it is exactly what the Father is doing or saying, after all He only did what He saw His father doing didn't He?
We can encounter the words of Christ in the scriptures and also through the gift of prophecy. Let me give an example, suppose that someone comes to you with a prophetic word concerning the Lord's desire to use you in really big ways, impacting thousands of people through your business, or your ministry, or even while you are at school etc. You can see throughout the Bible how the Lord has revealed His hearts desire to prosper you and bless you and make you a blessing; there are many scriptures to back this up, so therefore you are empowered to receive hope for the fulfillment of this prophetic word because it lines up with your faith in the character of God. In other words, you would be thinking, "Yes, I know that this sounds like something my Father would say, because I know what my Father's heart is." Even though at that particular moment, your circumstances might make the prophetic word seem a bit far fetched.
So to sum it all up, I believe that some of the key things the Lord has been showing me in this season are that even though everyone goes through disappointments and hard times and things that don't seem to make sense, when we give those to the Lord and allow our faith in His character to ignite the gift of hope in our hearts it will not disappoint, even though it may not look exactly the way we thought or happen in exactly the time that we wanted it to. Faith is different than hope, and we need to have faith in who God is, which allows us in turn to have hope in whatever situation we find ourselves in. Because, our father would never leave us or forsake us, He would not leave us as orphans, He has loved us with an everlasting love, and every good and perfect gift comes from Him!!! (Just in case you didn't realize, that last sentence was a long string of personal paraphrases from the Bible that I just couldn't be bothered to look all the references up for!!! :P)
I have a lot more to say, and will probably blog again soon, but I realize this is a monster blog so I will leave it at that for now and hope that it somehow encourages you. I would love to hear your thoughts or feedback. Thanks for reading.
Blessings,
Evan

Another month gone by?!
Hey guys,
I can't believe how quickly that month just went by. I hope you are all doing wonderfully!!! It has been a very surprising month to say the least. We found out that my sister-in-law Jo has cancer, and that it is already secondary, having spread to both her lungs. Jemma has been over in England for the last two weeks trying to help her sister out however possible. Jo is supposed to go into chemotherapy this week; the doctors do not seem to be terribly optimistic about the whole thing, but we continue to expect a miracle. We greatly appreciate your prayers in this. As you can imagine that has taken us very much by surprise and created quite a change in "normal routine" for the time being.
Other than that, we have continued on with the House of Prayer. We are finishing up designing our logo, and we are in the middle of trying to work out a rental agreement with Maystreet Presbyterian Church for the more permanent location of their lecture hall. If you could keep this in your prayers that would be wonderful. We really need a more stable location to move forward with what the Lord has put in our hearts to do, and we are hoping this could be a real answer to prayer. We are continuing to meet every week, but we have felt the Lord shift us towards just worshiping Him and focusing on His presence in our meetings for now. There are so many things in our hearts for the House of Prayer, but for now we really want to focus on intimacy with the Father, and we want that to be the primary theme for people who are just getting involved with what we are doing.
I will keep you guys updated on the progress of the House of Prayer and especially with Jo, I pray that I will have wonderfully exciting news to rant about very soon!!!
Thanks for reading and please be praying,

I'm back!!!
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say hi, sorry its been so long. I am a married man now, and officially in our new house and back from honeymoon and all that jazz. Plus I have my SPOUSAL VISA WOO HOO praise God!!! So it is a crazy new season. There are a lot of changes coming for the House of Prayer. We are gonna be pursuing getting charity status from the government over the next couple months, trying to transition into some more harp and bowl style worship (for those unfamiliar with harp and bowl reference IHOP K.C. worship style), working on hopefully getting an internship type program up and running in the next year..... and the list goes on. In other words...a lot of work :P A lot of it will be boring yet necessary stuff ( aka paperwork ) to enable us to continue to move forward into what the Lord has for us. We are really excited about the fresh vision the Lord has given us and the new possibilities that are opening up for us. Please be praying for us as this is definitely a hugely transitional season, and there are several miracle sized answers to prayer that we are needing in the very near future. I am glad that the Lord is a God of miracles, and that He is radically in love with us and more committed to us than we could ever be to Him...it makes things a lot less stressful :P I got a chance to meet with Corey Russell just this last weekend one of the senior leaders of IHOP KC while he was over at the London IHOP doing a conference. It was really encouraging, and I am excited about what the Lord is doing with the different connections he is bringing us. I also got a chance to chat with some of the guys who are helping run the London IHOP and hopefully we will be doing more with them in the near future. It is always great to have friends with similar hearts, especially when they are fairly close to home.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who sent cards, best wishes, or even themselves to our wedding, it was an incredibly special day.... The honeymoon was amazing as well, and a great time of refreshment. I feel extremely expectant for this next season, and look forward to being able to share the incredible stories of what I am sure the Lord will do with us, through us, and for us. Thank you all for your prayers and support.
Blessings,
Evan
