''See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?' (Isaiah 43:19)
God is the original entrepreneur – always on the move even though, paradoxically, he is the same 'yesterday and today and forever' (Hebrews 13:8). It is his nature to be moving us forward towards our heavenly hope.
My base in Rugby for the past 14 years has been sold so this month I'm on the move to a new office. Gospel Entrepreneurs has a new address: Revelation Trust – GE, PO Box 7082, Rugby CV21 9WD.
We continue to see God doing amazing things through Gospel Entrepreneurs. Thanks so much for your prayers and support. We couldn't do what we do without you.

FAITH: Fantastic Adventure In Trusting Him
Connections for coffee and biscuits
Making connections is one impact Gospel Entrepreneurs is having. This year at the Big Church Festival the coffee on site was supplied by CLO coffee, founded by Linda and Nick Castle (Hear their story in the Gospel Entrepreneurs podcasts). The biscuits at the Big Church Festival were provided as a result of their Gospel Entrepreneurs connection: Half the Story founded by Matt Parfitt was the supplier.
Matt has also benefitted from a connection made with Simon Berry from English Lakes Hotels who he met at the Gospel Entrepreneurs national gathering earlier this year. Now one of the hotels has struck up a new business partnership with the social enterprise.
Half the Story helps its employees make a new start after experiencing homelessness by enabling them to earn a wage, develop their skills, build a career path and find somewhere to live. Lancaster House Hotel has taken delivery of their range of shortbread biscuits. The hotel's general manager Emma Underwood says: 'Not only do our guests get to enjoy a tasty treat with their teas and coffees, but they are also helping to make a lasting difference to someone's life and future job prospects.'
Gospel Entrepreneurs features in the Spring issue of idea magazine – the journal published by the Evangelical Alliance in the UK. Contact us if you have outlets for features or news stories – we can supply articles, interviews and photos to spread the news about Gospel Entrepreneurs.
