The 37-year-old took to Instagram to share the news with fans, telling users on the social media platform: "This is Rev Glyn - I'm coming to get you!
"Day 1 as an official Rev! Hard work, praying and studying has paid off - 'With God all things are possible' Math 19: 26.
"Looking forward to follow in the footsteps of the disciples in the book of Acts, spreading the good word across the nations!
The star went on to share: "Thank you very much for all the support. I would like to repeat Paul's words in his letter to the Philippians:
"I do not claim that I have already arrived, nor do I claim to be perfect! But I keep going in order to gain all that the Messiah Jesus intended for me when he called me to follow him.
"Dear brothers and sisters, I do not for a second think that I have already arrived! All I say is this: I forget what is behind me and focus all my energy on what is forward to
"I run to the finish line with the intention of winning! I want to win the prize that God has for us. His call to heaven is what the Messiah did." (Phil 3: 12-14)."

I'm Wearing This Specific Tank Top On Repeat All Summer
Summer, for all its sun-soaked virtues, always presents an annual dilemma to even the best-dressed among us: what on earth are you supposed to wear when it's this hot outside? While there are plenty of new trends to flirt with this season – from breezy boho skirts to effortless tube tops – I always find myself returning to my trusted favourites. Chief amongst them is the tank top. ©Getty Images An easy everyday basic, tank tops are everywhere in the summer, but finding the one? It's surprisingly difficult. Too tight, too sheer, awkward neckline, flimsy straps – there's a lot that can go wrong. And even if you find one that ticks all your boxes, it can still sometimes feel a bit too boring for summer's cheery and fun vibe. That is, until Tory Burch released the very tank top that's about to feature heavily in every fashion girl's summer rotation. The staple in question is Tory Burch's Ribbed Tank Top, which comes in two basic colours: white and black. At first glance, the tank looks as simple as the high street pieces in your closet. So, what makes it special enough to justify the £330 price tag? It's all in the details, of course. The heavyweight ribbed cotton fabrication lends structure despite the simple cut, making it surprisingly flattering across body types. Then there's the sturdy straps and reasonably high back that cover your bra straps while the scoop neck adds an elegant touch – but it's the fun, removable floral brooch at the chest that truly sets the tank apart. The black tank comes with a pink brooch, while the white version is spruced up with a bright yellow flower and is reminiscent of Carrie Bradshaw's iconic white tank. ©Instagram/@divasmith Shop: Tory Burch's Ribbed Tank Top An excellent day-to-night number to slip on when the weather gets warm, Tory Burch's tank is hardly the first designer basic to be inducted into the fashion hall of fame. From Loewe's anagram tank topto Prada's triangle logo-detailled tank, elevated designer takes on the humble classic have been a firm staple amongst fashion's coolest dressers for a few summers now, proving that everyday staples can indeed feel polished and luxe. ©Instagram/@devonleecarlson If you're heading on holiday, Tory Burch's top is perfect for days at the beach and rooftop dinners alike. In white, the tank makes an excellent companion to linen trousers and jeans, whether you finish it off with strappy sandals or bright yellow trainers to match the flower (we're loving Onitsuka Tigers this summer). Alternatively, the black version is inherently dressier and will work well with lace skirts and slinky satin trousers for a night out. With multiple sizes selling out fast, shop the Tory Burch tank top below, as well as my pick of the best deisgner tank tops that are as fun as they are practical.

A post shared by @aseverofficial The wine went on sale at 4pm UK time, but the site was updated less than hour later to signal stocks were sold out. In a post on Instagram, the duchess' As Ever brand said: 'It's here! Raise a glass to the newest addition to the As ever family. Our beautiful Napa Valley rose is now available'. A short clip showed the wine being poured into a glass, with accompanying sound. The pale pink wine, in a clear bottle with a white gold-rimmed label, was launched on a dedicated where an over-21 birth date must be inputted to enter and where the drink was described as: 'A delicately balanced rose with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.' The site adds: 'Reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles, it's crisp, pale in color, and effortlessly elegant – crafted for slow afternoons and golden-hour gatherings. 'This rose captures the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments through its thoughtfully crafted blend.' A post shared by @aseverofficial The wine was not available to buy in orders of less than three bottles. Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (£65.64), six bottles cost 159 dollars (£115.97) including a 12% discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (£218.81) including a 17% discount. Shipping, which begins on July 9, cost an additional flat rate 20 dollars (£14.59) per order. Meghan's wine has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 14.5%. According to the Drink Aware charity, most wines have an ABV of around 11-14%. Meghan added apricot jam to her collection in June after restocking her online store, with items selling out for a second time in a row. A post shared by @aseverofficial The duchess was shown drinking rose during the last episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan earlier this year when she offered chef Alice Waters a glass of wine. 'Would you like a glass of rose while we're cooking?' the duchess said, pouring from a bottle which does not appear to be As Ever wine, having a different label. Meghan added as she drank: 'Might be the best sip of wine I've ever had.' Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.

"I don't even buy anything for myself anymore. It's all going away." It was previously revealed how despite only being two-years-old, Tommy's daughter already enjoys a lavish life. This includes a £12k dream wardrobe and private jet and business class luxury. Addressing this, Tommy, said: "Today's world is tough because you don't wanna spoil your children, but then it's hard to not, in a way. "I've just bought – and it's coming in two weeks – a massive RV type thing. "I just said to myself, 'She can't take business class flights every time, that ain't the real world.' "I didn't go on a plane until I was 17! It was a Flybe flight and the propeller nearly broke. "But Bambi's got more air miles than me now, and she's two and a half."

"Not staying in five star hotels, not going business class flights, not doing that sometimes - and that's okay. "Yeah, so I think she's getting to an age now where she's understanding more, and that as a father I introduce them sort of holidays, it's very important." It comes after Molly-Mae recently posted an emotional tribute to Tommy as a father, gushing he was "made to be a dad" following the pair's reunion. The mum-of-one took to her Stories to upload a snap showing Tommy's celebratory cake emblazoned with the phrase: "Love you daddy."

"Watching the way you love our little girl is one of my favourite things in the world ... it's completely unconditional. "You were truly made to be a dad. Happy Father's Day."
