Nations Trust’s status with UKVI
It has been brought to our attention that some Christian publications have stated recently that Nations has had its licence with the UK Visa & Immigration authority revoked.
This has never been the case. We were the subject of an unannounced and rigorous inspection in May 2014, lasting seven hours. Some relatively minor record-keeping issues were found and, as a result, our licence was downgraded from A-status to B-status.
This downgrade meant that we were unable to issue new invitations to ‘religious workers’ (UKVI’s term) and others, but those already here were allowed to continue their work.
UKVI offered an ‘Action Plan’ at a cost of £1,460 to remedy matters, which we accepted. It had a three-month time limit. If we had not satisfactorily completed this, it may well have resulted in our licence being revoked.

TransMission: Nations short update July 2016
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:4-5)
Light cannot be quenched by darkness. The darker the world, the greater the contrast with His light.
Please join us in prayer for His light to shine through.

TransMission October 2016
See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valour (Joshua 6:2).
The Lord spoke these words as Joshua was pondering (or maybe crying out in desperation) about how to take Jericho. See, I have given....it was already done in heaven; it needed faith and courage to work it out on earth.
The Lord went on to give Joshua a strategy. He already had the promise that every place he put his foot the Lord would give him. Yet he needed to know how that would happen in this particular instance.
You may remember earlier this year we had what we called a 'Gilgal Gathering', bringing together UK-based leaders of the mission movements which we have been involved in helping to start. The Lord healed and drew us together more deeply. I remember thinking at the time I wonder what our Jericho will be?
Some of the movements we work with are in a season of growth. Also new movements are starting, and we can see potential for others. We are so encouraged, as the Lord has been saying for a while that it is time for multiplication! However, it also means that our buildings are stretched to the maximum. Five years ago the Lord gave us an old twenty-bedroom nursing home called St Elli House. This has become our accommodation for the trainees.
In January we will start to develop the top floor of this building into an apartment for family accommodation. Praise the Lord as, thanks to a generous offering, we now have most of the money to do this.
However, we still need more space for meeting, training, team rooms and offices. We can see that very soon we will need more accommodation too. I think the Lord is showing us what our Jericho is!
Twelve or so years ago we felt that the Lord was asking us to extend our International Centre, which is also the HQ of Nations. We had plans drawn up and were able to pay for some of the initial preparatory work. Thank you to everyone who gave sacrificially to that. However, we failed to raise the money (£1.2 million) needed to go forward.
When St Elli House came along, it was so clear that the Lord was giving it to us, that even though it was a battle (contracts were nearly exchanged twice with other parties) we saw the Lord's miraculous provision. However, we always felt that it was only a partial answer to what would be needed longer term.
So the cry has come again;
‘This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.’ (Isaiah 49:20).
