Mal at 50!
A personal note: Mal Fletcher celebrated his 50th birthday today, October 23, while on a short break in and around Naples, Italy.
Touring historic Pompei, Mal said: 'Turning 50, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to be looking at the ruins of old things as in Pompei! But at least it reminds me of how young I really am, in the bigger scheme of things!'
'Seriously, God has been good to us and I have much to be thankful for.'
'The Lord has kept his word, to give us the desires of our hearts, if we stay committed to him and his calling. And it's good to turn 50 in the same year as the EU!'
'Being a follower of Jesus is not always easy, but it's always an adventure -- if you're committed to making God famous above all.'
'Davina has done a great job in organising this surprise trip to Italy, which has to be one of the best countries in the world for a short holiday and birthday celebration.'
Friends from various parts of the world have emailed Mal to wish him well.
'I'd like to thank the friends who've written to say happy birthday.'
'Having friends is so important, and Davina and I have been blessed with some very good friends indeed!'
If you'd like to wish Mal a happy birthday, or just write to encourage a friend, it's not too late. Just email: mal50@nextwaveonline.com.
Mal will receive the emails directly and will answer each one personally next week.
(Please be quick as this address won't be live for too long.)

I often check out your recommended reading section, which includes some excellent books. There's a new title which I highly recommend: 'Simply Christian' by N.T. (Tom) Wright (Bishop of Durham)...

God is true to His word. [Recently] it seemed as though I faced an entire mountain range. A friend blessed me with the Next Wave site. God bless you Mal and all the saints who knit your ministry together. On to massive revival in Europe.

Thank you for such wonderful and heartfelt words about John Paul II. He stood and still stands for all that is good, and his "Voice for Life and Hope" will resound forever.
