Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit… (Matthew 28:19-20)
Welcome to the 200 people who have recently signed up to receive this enews. It is great to connect with you. I’d love to hear about how the Gospel Entrepreneurs vision is worked out in your context.
I recently had the privilege of visiting Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia; it gave me a good perspective on Jesus’ great commission. We are part of a global family. When you visit these places you discover that there are people everywhere who are passionate about Jesus, passionate about their communities, and longing to see God move.
In New Zealand and Australia, I had the opportunity to share the Hope Global vision in various gatherings, such as the gathering of leaders in Wellington, pictured above.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, I was looking at business and ministry in the marketplace with my Revelation Trust hat on. It was thrilling to hear stories of what God is doing in that Muslim nation. It was such a joy to meet with some young leaders, Gospel entrepreneurs in Kuala Lumpur, and to see their passion and hear their stories of what God has done in their lives. It was a very exciting trip. It was a simple reminder that the Gospel is amazing, with the power to transform lives and communities.
Sometimes we look only at our surroundings, but when we have the privilege of travelling to other countries, we realise that God is at work all the time all around the world. It was my privilege to see some of those spaces and places, where God is doing some amazing things by the work of his Spirit in all the nations of the world.
So be encouraged. Thank you so much for your continued commitment to Revelation Trust and Gospel Entrepreneurs. Please continue to pray as the Gospel Entrepreneurs series is going out and as the network grows.

Gospel Entrepreneurs founder
In translation
We are now in the process of working with Christian entrepreneurs in Malaysia to set up Gospel Entrepreneurs as a charitable trust in Kuala Lumpur.
