Once an Addict - Third Print Run
Since the book was published on the 17th May we have sold over 8,000 copies and we are expecting the third print run to arrive within the next few days. It is brilliant news that the book is proving to be so popular! The response we are getting continues to be positive as Christians and non-Christians alike are inspired and challenged by the book. Since the last E-News we have sent another 1,500 copies into prisons and we are planning to send out over 1,000 more during November. Thank you to all of you who have supported this project. Please pray that finance will continue to come in for this long-term project.
Hope 08
In 2008 there is a big initiative throughout the UK called Hope 08, which aims to bring different churches and denominations together to witness through word and deed in the towns, cities and villages throughout the UK. Proclaim Trust is an associate organization with Hope 08 and we would like to encourage you to look at their website - www.hope08.com - and see how your church could get involved with this exciting initiative. As part of Hope 08 I will be doing a tour of many of the UK prisons which have received my book and communicate the message of hope. Throughout 2008 Proclaim Trust will be involved in other outreach initiatives linked to Hope 08.
Media – BBC
Over the last few weeks I have had even more opportunities with the media. In October I was invited to speak on Channel M which is a TV network that covers Greater Manchester. I have now been asked to consider being a regular contributor on this station. I was also invited to speak on BBC News 24. On the 4th November I will be speaking on the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show and on the 18th November I will be going to the BBC Manchester studiosfor satellite interviews with 12 regions throughout the UK discussing the book, my story, the Prison Project and our goal to tour many UK prisons in 2008. The times for each of these interviews are as follows: In December I will be travelling down to Premier Radio again to take part in the Jeff Lucas show - Lucas on Life.
Future Ministry
This weekend (26th - 28th October) I am in Surrey speaking at an event organized by Anthony Delaney’s church - a colleague and friend of mine. Throughout November there are many one-off outreach events and missions, working with local churches.
