George's testimony
George is a very young British man who got introduced into our community by his housemate Michael one of our post graduate student. George has just reconnected with His relationship with Jesus last year and his joy and passion has truly been an inspiration even for the students. Last January he decided to join our prayer and fasting for the first time and has been truly committed even to the last day. That has inspired one of our student Kaya who also joined the fasting which in turn inspired Kaya's mother Dee who has committed herself as well to the fasting. One simple step of faith spreading fire to others.
Celebrations
This February as I've turned 49 years old we get to celebrate not just 7 years of being in this country and mission field but 7 years of your faithful partnership to the gospel here in the United Kingdom. I've never once envision myself being here in Europe, but your consistent love, prayers and support has upheld through the most difficult times. THANK YOU
We've also officially launch our church at the South right at the very heart of Kingston University and it is now a spiritual family not just to a lot of people that has joined the team but also for new students
These are the first fruits of students that we have from Kingston University.
Likewise we've launched something new at King's College for our EN West London family. We've started a Purple Book club to help the students consistently grow deeper in their biblical foundation. This is also slowly becoming a place for students who grew up in church to now dissect and make their journey their own and not just borrowed from their parents.
The students have also been inviting their friends in this Purple Book club as well as our prayer walks in the campuses.
Women hangout and mentoring
We celebrate how God has consistently upheld our community week in and week out
Our community do life together weekdays in connect group and one to one mentorings. And on the weekend we do hangouts and join our EN London West family to worship together
After church lunch hangouts
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Last March 3 my mom has finally breathed her last at the ripe old age of 86. She has been an amazing wife, homemaker and mom to 7 children and has extended herself to taking care of about 17 grandkids. My mom has been my first discipler, the very one who has taught me the fear of God as well as how to love others sacrificially and generously. My mom has always loved God in her own way but on the week that my day passed away, I actually had the greatest privilege of sharing the gospel to her and she received Jesus as her Lord and Savior at the age of 80 years old. God was never late and He has been supernaturally merciful to my parents- my dad got saved when he turned 75 years old. I am deeply grieving the lost of my parents but also celebrating their new life in heaven.
ENC EUROPE CAMPUS CONFERENCE 2025
Last weekend at the campus conference, my husband get to be the one to be the "campus missionary" for our family. Unfortunately my visa plans didn't get to push through and I couldn't go. But it has been such a joy to see him thrive in his own calling and Kingdom work. It has been officially a year since my husband has given up everything he has in Canada to be a kingdom builder here in London and I'm glad how he has thrive and has really been a spiritual father not just to students but even young professionals and couples we got to minister to.
Thank you for consistently journeying with us with your generous partnership in the gospel! May the Lord bless you and your household abundantly.
Blessings and Peace, Baby Lolita Bato (aka Lily)
