Welcome to UK-USA Ministries! We are so fired up about all the Lord is doing in our lives and through this ministry. In the fall of 2010, after much prayer and consideration we came to the conclusion that our heart, as a family and my gift mix as a Minister, is to shepherd, teach and serve on the foreign field. God has uniquely wired and inspired my family to be part of this exciting ministry opportunity in the United Kingdom. For whatever reason, He has seen fit to knit our family’s heart together with the people of the Tees Valley in the North East of England.
In September of 2011, we arrived in Teesside to serve as the Centre Director at Tees Valley Youth for Christ and as Pastor at The Vine Church Teesside. Serving in a dual role allowed me to come alongside fellow believers to reach out to the people of this amazing valley. It has been an incredible journey of faith and God’s faithfulness. We are continuing to pray daily about how best to reach out to the children, young people and families across The Tees Valley and Yorkshire.
I know that the Lord has given me a passion to be a servant leader in this place. Join with us in praying for an awakening here. Please pray with us for God to foster and develop relationships that lead to conversations about God unto the revelation of Jesus Christ. I am more convinced than ever that the only way to reach the next few generations in the UK is through that process of relational ministry. Life on life. Evangelism and discipleship intertwined, as He always intended. I also believe that what the Lord wants to accomplish here is bigger than any one of us. He very well might be creating a movement among young people and students that sweeps through the UK and touches other countries and continents.
He has done that before here in the UK…wouldn’t it be exciting if He did it again? Wouldn’t it be the adventure of a lifetime to be swept up in His story?
In HIS JOY,
Mike Taylor
Executive Director
