Dear church,

It was such a privilege to be commissioned on Sunday. We are overwhelmed by many different emotions—as was evident for all to see during the service—in saying thank you and farewell to our precious church family.

As we said on Sunday, you have been such a kind, supportive, and loving community for us in London. We will miss you deeply. You will forever be our ‘home’ as we go out to a new place for the sake of the gospel. We’re very confident that the Lord will use you greatly here in London—and beyond—as you hold out his hope to a world in darkness.

As Andrew said on Sunday, we’re very much doing this together with you as a church. If you’d like to support us directly, you can do so in one of the following ways:

Prayer

We are completely dependent on God for every part of this journey, and have been carried by the prayers of others up to this point. Please continue lifting us up in prayer.

Finance

The trustees of Grace London have been very generous in significantly contributing to our family costs in Milan. We’ll also be running a start-up business to help support our personal living costs in the future.

However, we are raising financial support for the church plant itself. There will be all sorts of costs as we move out and get started. If you’d like to make a contribution, you can give via Advance UK (our church planting network, which is overseeing the work). You can find the bank details here. Please include the reference, “Milan”. If you give, please fill out a Gift Aid declaration (for Advance), which you can find here.

As many of you know, Amy Walter is also coming with us as part of the planting team after she wraps up her internship (with Grace) in the summer. Look out for more information about how to support her specifically in the coming months.

We’re so grateful for the years of friendship and partnership in the gospel that we’ve had with you.

Much love,
Jen and Jeremy
