THE HIGHWAY.
OUR
MISSION
The Watchmen Message is nothing new. It’s the same message that John the Baptist preached, and the same message the early disciples preached: “Prepare the way of the Lord, for He is coming soon!”
​​​
It is a message deeply rooted in worship. In the Book of Revelation we see how God's kingdom operates, as we are taken backstage into the very throne room of God. We learn that God's purposes are formed, sustained and accomplished within the context of unceasing praise, and that this eternal ministry of adoration is the foundation stone upon which prayer, evangelism and discipleship are all built. ​We also see that transformation in our towns and cities - ultimately fulfilled through the return of Jesus - will only come about when worship is at the heart of everything we do.​
​
God first entrusted us with this message in the early days of our marriage in 2019, but over the last year we have felt Him speaking even more clearly about His desire to release us in new ways to to share this message and minister to our hometown of Reading, His church and the UK. In obedience to God's voice, earlier this year we made the hard decision to leave our jobs as worship pastors at Greyfriars Church in order to begin working as missionaries to the UK based in Reading.
As you read more below about the vision God has given us, we would ask you to consider how you could partner with us. We have taken many big steps of faith over the years, and we have seen God provide for us in extraordinary ways, but without doubt this latest adventure represents our greatest journey of faith yet - one that relies on raising regular support in order to carry out the work God has put on our hearts. We would invite you to ask God how He is calling you to stand with us in this - trusting that He will provide everything we need to carry out His work in His way.​
