It’s 9 months today since Shane passed away. A reality that seems so unreal. This Monday would have been our 29th Wedding Anniversary, but now it’s my first year without him. Come this July the 8th 2024, I will post our wedding video on our YouTube Ministry Channel in tribute to the memory of his life & our union. Through our marriage and joint ministry, we had the privilege to co – serve together and be embraced by your love and commitment.
In this update and monthly tribute to my late husband Shane, I simply want to thank each and every one of you for your support; be it prayerful or financial or both, including the contact, letters, cards, flowers and visits to my home for those living in the UK. You have all been so compassionate, and a biblical witness of Yah’s provision and His love.
Thank you for bearing with me, when in the initial months, I was quiet, not able to communicate or do much at all. I wanted to update you all today, as you have been a great strength and encouragement to my family and I and in this period of transition, your financial support enabled me to take care outstanding funeral costs, plan towards the memorial stone, take care of ongoing life needs in this transition and so overwhelmingly for which I am forever grateful you have enabled me to maintain in full time ministry, teach and build the community that Shane & I love and were and are so passionate about in these prophetic and imperative times.
I am also now making progress on the driving front. Something we as a family depended on Shane entirely for. I found having to return the car we leased in his name was traumatic enough. Though a physical possession so many memories left with that car, but now I am finally strong enough to know gain a licence and look for a car.
You have all been a great testimony of Yahuah’s love and provision demonstrating to me, to “stand strong” as Shane would always preach and just take it step by step, day by day in faith and the rest will follow.
As Rio, Storm, Dallas, Sam my daughter in-law and I learn how to navigate this new season in our private life and ministry, we look forward to welcoming a new addition to the family. As we look forward to the arrival of my granddaughter. Our children becoming an uncle and aunt for the first time. I never expected to become a widow and grandmother at 50 but embrace this journey with my trust fully in Yah for this road ahead.
Lastly, I would like to make a special mention to a lifelong friend and co-minister Christian Elliot who organised this campaign. Without him & his persistence, this would not have happened. Again, thank you for everyone’s faithful support and journeying with me. Your mourned with me, celebrated Shane with me and a continual strength.
Much love, Jesse

(Photos are Shane as a new dad with our eldest new born son Rio. That little Rio in the photos, 25 years later becoming a dad himself. Photos, I will show our grandchild of the wonderful granddad they never got to meet. Also, a snap of Shane driving our family car. One of the last times, he drove before becoming ill and paralyzed a few months before he died.)
