Disturb me Lord, when my dreams come true,only because I dreamed too small.Disturb me when I arrive safely,only because I sailed too close to the shore.Disturb me when the things I have gained,cause me to lose my thirst for more of you.Disturb me when I have acquired success,only to lose my...
It's counter-intuitive for most of us. We want to gather friends around us and tend to resist moving on unless some big ugly business insists on taking us elsewhere, or education or family requires it - we like to be with friends and keep together. But if we are serious about loving God and...
'You have heard it said that the Christian life is a great adventure. You have heard it said that the world has not seen what God can do through a person totally surrendered to him. But you may not have heard that the ineffective life is the safe life.Do not take chances with your existence. Do...
It is sobering to know that as I sit in my friends' apartment, I am in one of the only two believing households in a town of 60,000 people. The equivalent in the UK would be somewhere the size of Burton-on-Trent, a town to the south of Derby, having just two Christian families. But I am...

One of the ministries set up through Radstock is called Samaritan’s Well. Keith Mersh, a former pastor, is spearheading this, and has overseen the raising of funds from churches in the UK who want to partner with, encourage and bless local churches in the villages of North India. Often...
There are more photos and video clips appearing on my GOING GLOBAL blog. You can also see the videos at the Radstock youtube page. Especially have a look at the one I've entitled "Is it all about the healings?" to hear one of the pastors talk passionately about the believers' faith, and a...
