Hi There!
It’s been quite a strange year. As my brother John, who I have travelled with on missions since 1990, has had to take a year out due to health problems. This has made me realize how much we have done together. The main mission of the year became the trip to Macedonia, Kosovo & Albania.

Hi There!
We have just returned from one of the most comprehensive missions we have been on.
Usually I show you pictures of delighted individuals receiving their new guitars. This time, I
would like to show you more of the environments, into which our instruments have been given, and the inspirational work of the missionaries we came alongside.
Summer 2008
What a brilliant year it has been so far. After operating Guitar Aid using the Church’s
charity number, what a blessing to have fulfilled all the necessary criteria required by the
Charity commission, and receive full Charity status. This is mainly thanks to the excellent
work of Paul Ashton (CEO of Prospects UK). Our number is 1122598

My first mission in 1990 changed my life. It has been our desire to get others involved in
looking beyond their own country. What could be better than introducing the young people
from the Romanian Church we visit, with the youth of the Church in Hungary. For many of
them it was the first time out of the country, a time they would never forget!
Autumn/ Winter 2007
Hi There!
We’ve so much to tell you about. Earlier this year we had the privilege to visit Togo & Ghana, West Africa. What an impression it left on us! We visited church after church, packed to the doors. The worship was vibrant and exciting! Recently we have returned from Eastern Europe. We saw the appreciation, as many led worship with our guitars.
You will be enriched so you can give even more generously.
And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they
will break out in thanksgiving to God
