At the beginning of this year, we were on a course of rebuilding Celebrate Recovery UK after the pandemic, and a part of this process was looking to advertise more, to share the good news, about this great ministry.

In October this year, we linked up with Mark Macklin of Purpose Driven Ministries UK and attended the Christian Resources Exhibition at Sandown Park London.

And what a great time it was, personally I don’t think I have spoken to so many people in such a short time. It was an exciting event; people expressed an interest in Celebrate Recovery and this made me realise the importance of being more proactive in the sharing of this great ministry. I came away knowing that there is a lot of work for us all to do. 

It was a blessing to re-establish our relationship with Mark and Julie Macklin, of Purpose Driven Ministries, and once again we begin to work together to promote Celebrate Recovery.

There is no doubt in my mind, going forward, this is going to be a key relationship for us all, especially for resources. We had a great time together, it was like a tag team, anything Celebrate Recovery related Mark passed to me, and anything Purpose Driven went to Mark.
