I am an itinerate Bible teacher in the Cambridgeshire area in the United Kingdom. A member of the Open the Book team going into schools, also on the GenR8 team. Have led a youth group and helped in Parent and Toddlers and other groups. I have been involved with storytelling at Messy Church, school assemblies and All-Age talks. I started on my Faith Journey in 1976 whilst on my sandwich year from college. Since then I’ve not been restrained to any one denomination – believing that the local Church is always important. Through career moves and life changes, this has enabled me to play a part in the Assembly of God Church, Elim, various New Church Groupings, Brethren, Anglican and Baptist Churches. I am married to Jackie and we have four boisterous grandchildren.

Earith Storykeepers

Moving house is stressful.

A home sold sign.

But add in moving to another country, and not sure which country, and doing it with camels and donkeys – Abram’s problems had only just begun  (later he was renamed by God to Abraham).

Yes, decisions, decisions.

A group on camels.

Abram and all his family and possessions have to leave his familiar, possibly much-loved homeland and travel to a small unknown country.

Why? Because God told him to do it.

It would be dangerous and when they arrive, things get worse because there is a famine and they have to move to Egypt for a time.

When Abram trusted God completely he was able to get through all the impossible situations.
